Women’s Health

The Madison Birth Center believes in providing holistic care to women across the lifespan. Below are
examples of women’s health services we offer.

Annual Exams

An annual health care evaluation is important part of health maintenance and
preventative health care. Annual exams include a comprehensive assessment of your health history
and lifestyle as well as gentle head-to-toe physical including breast exam, pap-smear, and lab work as
needed.

Gynecology and Breast Health

Midwives are able to evaluate and manage a number of general
women’s health concerns, including irregular periods, PMS, sexually transmitted infections, yeast
infections, breast lumps, and so on.

Contraception

Midwives are skilled at helping to find the birth control option that best fits each
woman’s individual needs, desires, and lifestyle. From natural family planning to hormonal and non-
hormonal contraceptives, the Madison Birth Center can provide education, prescriptions, and ongoing
management relative to a wide variety of birth control options.

Preconception

Preparing for pregnancy, mentally and physically, is an important step. Preconception
visits at the Madison Birth Center can help you get ready for pregnancy, understand your fertility and
the conception process, identify health risks that should be addressed before becoming pregnant, and
find lifestyle changes that might be helpful in getting ready for pregnancy.

Primary Care

The midwives at the Madison Birth Center can address a number of primary care concerns
for pregnant and non-pregnant clients. We can serve as your primary care provider, and refer to other
health care specialists when necessary. Whether we are managing a chronic concern or treating an
acute need such as a respiratory infection, we are here to provide complete, holistic, individualized care.

Menopause

Peri-menopause and menopause can be challenging times in the lives of women. Midwives
can help women navigate these challenges with traditional, complementary, and alternative treatment
modalities. We can also help address the health risks that might increase during this time.
