Family Planning and Reproductive Health

Your Choices Deserve Expert Support

Whether you’re planning to grow your family, exploring your options, or managing a reproductive health condition, UAMS is here with the full picture and the full team. From birth control counseling to fertility evaluation to treatment for complex gynecologic conditions, we provide care that meets you exactly where you are.

Comprehensive Reproductive Health Care

Family planning looks different for every woman. Our providers offer complete, personalized guidance across the full spectrum of reproductive health.

Birth Control and Contraception Counseling
Every method works differently for every woman. We take time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals before making a recommendation. Options we discuss include oral contraceptives, IUDs, implants, injections, barrier methods, and more. We also counsel women who are ready to stop birth control and start trying to conceive.

Preconception Care
Planning a pregnancy is one of the best things you can do for your health and your baby’s health. Preconception visits help identify risk factors, optimize your health before conception, review medications, and ensure you’re up to date on important screenings and vaccines.

Fertility Evaluation
If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, UAMS providers can evaluate both partners and identify potential causes. We offer diagnostic workups and can guide you through next steps, including referral to fertility specialists when needed.

Treatment for Reproductive Conditions
Conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can significantly affect fertility and quality of life. Our gynecologists offer both medical and surgical treatment options, including minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

Genetic Counseling
UAMS has certified genetic counselors on staff who can help you understand hereditary risks, evaluate family history, and guide decisions around genetic testing before or during pregnancy.

Infertility Support
Navigating infertility is emotionally and physically demanding. Our team approaches this journey with sensitivity and clinical expertise, offering evaluation, treatment coordination, and connection to support resources.

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
When surgery is the right path, UAMS surgeons are among the most experienced in Arkansas in minimally invasive approaches. Less time in the hospital, faster recovery, and the same quality of care.
