Dr. Galstyan’s primary goal is to manage every condition as conservatively as possible with medications as needed before moving to more invasive procedures or surgeries. His goal is to educate his patients about their conditions and be a supportive and collaborative healthcare provider who individualizes his care based on treating the whole patient and meeting their needs. For instance, many women do not know of all their options for treating various gynecologic conditions. One example of this is that there are many benefits to taking the oral contraceptive’ The Pill’ besides contraception. They are:

  • Lighter periods
  • Regular periods
  • Ability to stop the period altogether.
  • Improved complexion or reduced acne
  • Less painful periods (cramps)
  • Reduced hair growth that may be seen with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)

  • Possibly prevent ovarian cyst formation
