When Do You Need Emergency Gynecological Care?
Not every issue can wait for a regular checkup. Some symptoms need to be looked at as soon as possible. These include sudden pelvic pain, bleeding that’s out of the ordinary, unusual discharge, or any signs of an infection. You should also reach out if you’re having pain during sex, sharp cramps outside of your normal cycle, or concerns related to early pregnancy.
Gynecological Issues That Require Emergency Care
Some concerns can’t be ignored.
You may need same-day care or an emergency gynecologist if you’re dealing with:
- Intense pelvic pain
- Sudden or heavy vaginal bleeding
- Possible miscarriage
- Painful or ruptured ovarian cyst
- Signs of an STI (itching, discharge, or odor)
- A retained tampon or other foreign object
- Urinary symptoms that may signal a spreading infection
If you’re not sure whether your symptoms are urgent, give us a call. We’ll help you figure out your next steps.
What to Do Before Your Emergency GYN Visit
To make things easier for both you and our team, here are a few things you can do before coming in:
- Jot down when your symptoms started and how they’ve changed
- If you can, avoid using tampons or having sex before your visit
- Bring your ID, insurance card, and a list of any medications
- Call ahead if you’re able — we’ll do our best to prepare for your arrival
We do everything we can to keep your visit smooth, respectful, and private.

This was my first time at this office. Office was clean and all employees were friendly. Parking was easy to find. 2 hrs parking meters heads up. They took me quick. I wasn't waiting for long. I was there for my annual woman wellness exam. Dr. Jane Lee NP and ultrasound sound tech Suzane were both very informative and very helpful. They made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend going to this office.
