Women Health

SRM Urgent Care address a range of common women’s health issues, including:

• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs):
  If you suspect you may have contracted an STD, it’s advisable to seek evaluation by a trained healthcare provider. Look out for symptoms such as unusual discharge, vaginal itching, or burning during urination. Testing is recommended, especially if a partner has been diagnosed with an STD. Many STDs can be effectively treated with antibiotics or other medications.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):
  UTIs are common bladder infections and a leading cause of painful urination. Treatment for UTIs typically involves antibiotics.
• Yeast Infections
  Yeast infections are prevalent vaginal issues resulting from an overgrowth of Candida albicans yeast. Symptoms may include clumpy white discharge, vaginal itching, or burning. Most yeast infections resolve swiftly with antifungal creams or oral medication.
• Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
  BV shares symptoms with yeast infections but is caused by an abnormal growth of vaginal bacteria. Symptoms may include itching, abnormal discharge, burning during urination, or a distinctive fish-like odor. BV is treated with oral or topical antibiotics.

In addition to these conditions, it’s essential to consider visiting an urgent care facility for the following symptoms:

– Vaginal discharge, particularly if it appears discolored, thickened, or has an unusual odor.
– Vaginal itchiness.
– Abdominal pain (note that severe abdominal pain necessitates an emergency room visit).
– Pain during urination.
– Frequent urination.
– Nausea and dizziness.
– Unusual spotting.
– Concerns related to your menstrual cycle.
– Morning sickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Women’s Healthcare at Urgent Care:

Can Urgent Care Perform Ultrasounds for Pregnancy?
Ultrasounds are generally not conducted at our urgent care centers. However, in cases involving bleeding or early pregnancy complications, we can arrange for an ultrasound at a nearby outpatient radiology facility or within the outpatient department of our affiliated hospitals. Patients often find this process more efficient than waiting elsewhere.

Which Women’s Health Services Are Not Offered by Urgent Care?
Urgent care centers are not equipped to handle medical emergencies such as miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies. Heavy bleeding, particularly when accompanied by fever, dizziness, nausea, severe abdominal pain, or breathing difficulties, should be evaluated in an emergency department. Additionally, annual gynecological check-ups and follow-ups for chronic conditions are typically not provided at urgent care facilities, so it’s recommended to visit a dedicated women’s health clinic for ongoing care.
