Our services
Novant Health OB/GYN Urgent Care – Carmel is here to help you with gynecologic and obstetric problems that need to be treated right away but are not life-threatening. We specialize in assessing and treating acute symptoms, such as severe and sudden pain or bleeding, when your primary ob-gyn is not available. Should you need follow-up care, our team will ensure your primary ob-gyn has a record of your visit with us, so any further treatment you need can continue without interruption.
Obstetric concerns we regularly address include:
- Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy (threatened miscarriage)
- Evaluation of pre-term labor and/or if your water has broken
- Questions about the well-being of an unborn baby
- Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness)
- Cold or flu-like symptoms during pregnancy
- High blood pressure concerns during pregnancy
Our clinic can assess the health and/or viability of your fetus with on-site ultrasound equipment.
Gynecologic concerns we regularly address include:
- Pelvic pain
- Abnormally heavy bleeding
- Vaginal pain, itching, burning, or discharge
- Bladder infections (infections of the urinary system that cause pain)
- Minor injuries of the vagina (gynecologic trauma)
- Bartholin gland cysts or abscesses (a blocked gland at the entrance of the vagina causing swelling or pain)
We also offer screenings for sexually transmitted infections.
