What is Women's Health at Prairie Health & Wellness?
Women's Health at Prairie Health & Wellness in Wichita, Kansas takes a whole-woman, root cause approach that goes beyond conventional gynecology. Our providers address irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, hormone balance, and preconception counseling using deep physiology rather than simply prescribing birth control. Services include Well-Woman Exams, body composition DEXA scans, bone density testing, and advanced hormone, cortisol, and thyroid evaluation.
Women's Health
Women's Health at Prairie Health and Wellness focuses on helping each woman maximize her own health. Our approach to women's health differs from traditional women's health clinics in many ways, it is more than practicing gynecology alone and instead is care of the whole woman. Conventional medicine often uses birth control pills or other medications to regulate cycles, ultimately leaving the underlying causes of illness unaddressed. At Prairie Health & Wellness, we use deep physiology to identify the root causes of health concerns and provide a path towards normalization.
A Holistic Approach to Women's Health
Women often take care of everyone else but themselves. This leads to sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, gut issues, and increased stress which in turn can all cause a compromised immune system and other health issues. Lifestyle modifications are often necessary for women, particularly in nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene, and minimizing exposure to toxins, chemicals, and endocrine disruptors. Other problems may benefit from the utilization of supplements or herbal medicines, hormone replacement therapy and occasional pharmaceutical therapies.
