Giving You The Information You Need!
At Assure Women’s Center, we are committed to giving you the answers you need. Only you can make the final decision concerning the outcome of your pregnancy. However, in order to do so you need reliable information.
The first step is to discover if you are really pregnant. Assure purchases the most reliable pregnancy tests on the market, which are run by one of the excellent members of our medical team. Sometimes women come to us before the results of a pregnancy test can be accurate. It is best to wait until one has missed a period before taking a test. Then, the directions specified by the test’s manufacturers must be followed exactly.
If the pregnancy test is positive, then an ultrasound can be done to answer another vital question: how far along is the pregnancy? The ultrasound can also be used to indicate whether the pregnancy is viable (or will continue.) Statistics show that up to a third of all early pregnancies are lost to either miscarriage or some other mishap. If the pregnancy will not continue, a decision is no longer necessary.
A third factor that is vital, especially if abortion is being considered, is whether or not the woman has a sexually transmitted disease. Chlamydia and gonorrhea, in particular, can be dangerous if not treated, especially if a surgical procedure is done. Both of these diseases often lurk outside of the cervix and can be carried into the uterus when an abortion is performed, greatly increasing the risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to cancer. Assure tests for both conditions for positive test patients who are considering abortion.
As in all areas of life, information is power. Good decisions are based on reliable, factual information. With two offices in Omaha Assure Women’s Center can provide that information. To make an appointment, please call our Helpline at 402-397-0600.
