Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain is a multifactorial condition that may arise from a combination of gynecological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, or psychological factors. Dr. Leisha conducts a thorough assessment to identify underlying causes and collaborates with complementary health providers, such as physiotherapists or psychologists, to create a holistic treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.

Vulvodynia

Vulvodynia is a specific condition characterized by persistent or recurrent vulvar pain without an obvious identifiable cause. This condition can make sexual activity, tampon use, or even sitting for long periods uncomfortable or painful. Dr. Leisha provides a sensitive and individualized approach to managing vulvodynia, including education, medical treatments, and referrals to women’s health physiotherapists or pelvic pain specialists if needed.

Recurrent UTIs

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. Dr. Leisha provides expert guidance on preventing and managing recurrent UTIs, including lifestyle modifications, strategies to reduce infection risk, and appropriate medical treatments. She also investigates underlying causes to develop a tailored management plan and collaborates with specialists when necessary to ensure comprehensive care.

Abnormal Discharge

Abnormal vaginal discharge can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, hormonal changes, or other underlying conditions. Dr. Leisha provides thorough assessments to identify the cause and offers appropriate treatments tailored to each individual. She also provides education on maintaining optimal vaginal health and collaborates with specialists if further investigation or care is required.

Choosing the Right Contraception

Choosing the right contraception is a crucial aspect of women’s health. Dr. Leisha provides personalized advice on a wide range of options, including hormonal and non-hormonal methods such as combined and progesterone-only contraceptive pills, implants, and IUDs (Mirena, Kyleena, Copper). She takes the time to explain the benefits and considerations of each method, empowering women to make informed decisions that best suit their individual needs and lifestyle.
