LGBTQ Health

How does Ovation Women’s Wellness make healthcare accessible for LGBTQ women?

The providers at Ovation Women’s Wellness understand that fear of judgment is the greatest barrier LGBTQ face when seeking adequate healthcare. Unfortunately, many healthcare providers require patients to identify as male or female only. And, some LGBTQ women report being subjected to insensitive and discriminatory remarks in doctor’s offices. Ovation Women’s Wellness provides a safe space where LGBTQ women can seek evaluation and treatment without judgment. By providing a safe healthcare space, the practice aims to diagnose problems earlier, improving the health and wellness of their patients.

Do LGBTQ women have different healthcare needs than straight women?

In many ways, no. All women need treatment for diseases and a strong healthcare support system with a focus on prevention. However, the CDC recognizes that the LGBTQ population is at a higher risk of certain health issues and diseases. A comprehensive health exam by a knowledgeable and caring provider can ensure that LGBTQ patients receive the proactive evaluations they need to maintain optimal health.

Also, many patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender face greater challenges in their daily lives. In caring for the health and well-being of the whole patient, Ovation Women’s Wellness acknowledges how these challenges impact the patient’s physical, mental, and emotional health and spend adequate time reviewing risk factors, screening for signs and symptoms of stress or depression, and sharing interventions that help the patient better cope with health challenges.

How does Ovation Women’s Wellness create a welcoming environment?

Ovation Women’s Wellness finds that many patients relax and feel welcome when they see that the LGBTQ-friendly registration form doesn’t ask them to choose a particular gender. Also, the practice’s health providers ask questions to help patients discuss their orientation and lifestyle comfortably, which breaks the ice and helps them share details about their health openly.

What services does the practice provide?

Ovation Women’s Wellness provides a full range of women’s health services including sexual health evaluation, treatments, and counseling, pelvic health, vaginal rejuvenation, weight management, menopause management, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and general women’s wellness services.
