Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Care Approach
Gynecological symptoms such as unusually heavy periods, persistent pelvic discomfort, irregular bleeding, or changes in menstrual patterns can have several possible causes. Assessment may involve medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, ultrasound, or other investigations when appropriate.
Dr. Tao has an American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Focused Practice Designation in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. These techniques can allow selected conditions to be treated through smaller incisions than traditional open surgery.
Conditions such as symptomatic fibroids or some other benign gynecological disorders may be considered for minimally invasive management depending on their location, severity, previous treatment, reproductive plans, and overall health.
Her practice also includes adolescent gynecology, where age-appropriate care may address menstrual concerns, reproductive health, contraception, and other gynecological questions arising during the teenage years.
