Research - Reproductive Medicine

UC Health Reproductive Medicine Research focuses specifically on research studies in women’s health. Throughout the past 20 years, we have conducted numerous research studies in the following areas:

• Contraceptive devices and methods
• Endometriosis
• Menstrual cramps
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Infertility
• Vaginal infections
• Female sexual dysfunction, libido
• Menopause (hot flashes, vaginal dryness)

Some of these studies have resulted in new treatment options for women that include: Fosamax (for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis), Novasure (an endometrial ablation system for treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding), low-dose Premarin, PremPro, Evista, Yasmin, Ortho Tri Cyclen, Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, Mirena, a contraceptive vaginal ring, and other products.
