Women's Health

Complete Healthcare for Women

Your health is a cornerstone for living your fullest life. At Mile Bluff, we understand that each of you has your own challenges and triumphs, and we treat you with the individualized attention you deserve. With us, you will find a true partner for your healthcare decisions. Our dedicated medical staff offers preventive care, management of chronic conditions, and treatment of acute illness. From a first gynecological appointment to post-menopause, the caring staff at Mile Bluff puts your health and evolving needs at the center of everything we do.

Pregnancy Care & Birthing Center: The care you receive from our birthing center begins well before you go into labor. Prenatal testing and education are important foundations for a healthy pregnancy for you and baby. Labor and delivery tubs, home-like birthing suites, and traditional and alternative pain management options are a few of the ways Mile Bluff gives you a say in how you welcome your baby into the world. We are also pleased to offer expecting parents unique delivery options like waterbirths and family-centered C-sections.

After delivery, you can find the breastfeeding support you need with our certified lactation counselors.

Gynecology at Mile Bluff

There are times when seeing your primary care provider is appropriate, and there are female-specific concerns that you may want to have addressed by our experienced gynecologist. No periods, light or heavy periods, pelvic pain, breast tenderness, and urinary incontinence are all good reasons to schedule an appointment. In addition to caring for routine gynecological concerns, our gynecology team also performs minimally-invasive surgeries to meet the surgical needs of patients.

Breast Health

Mile Bluff's Medical Imaging Department uses state-of-the-art mammography equipment to assess and diagnose breast health concerns. In addition to being available by appointment, mammograms are provided on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm. This convenience is open to those who have a primary care provider in the Mile Bluff system, and do not have any specific breast cancer concerns.

3D Mammography is available at Mile Bluff. 3D mammography is a screening tool used to look for breast cancer. The technology provides clear, detailed images to detect smaller cancers sooner, and to decrease the chance of false-positive results and call-backs for additional imaging tests. When a lump or questionable area is discovered in the breast, stereotactic biopsies can also be performed right in Mauston.

Bone Health

Mile Bluff's Medical Imaging Department also provides bone density screenings. This technology uses X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are found in the bones. This can detect osteoporosis, which causes bones to become brittle and can lead to breaks.

Pelvic Floor Health

Do you worry about what will happen if you sneeze or laugh too hard? If you are one of the millions of people who experience urinary incontinence (the loss of bladder control/bladder leakage), you know that even a little sneeze can cause a big concern.

Using bladder training, biofeedback, therapeutic exercise, and other techniques, the physical therapy team at Mile Bluff can help. The staff is specially trained to assess, diagnose, and treat individuals with incontinence issues.

Our team of gynecologists also provides non-surgical and surgical options to treat incontinence.

Nutrition Counseling

When you see a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at Mile Bluff, you will not be given a 'one-size-fits-all' plan. Our nutrition experts will work with you to learn about your unique needs, lifestyle, genetics, health history, and food preferences. From there, you will work together to set realistic health goals for managing chronic disease, food allergies and/or weight issues.

To schedule an appointment, ask your primary care provider for a referral to see a registered dietitian nutritionist. Call 608-847-1295 for more information.

Sleep Medicine at Mile Bluff

Sleep plays an important role in how you feel physically, emotionally and mentally. If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, or if you do not wake up feeling refreshed, you may have a sleep disorder. If you’re looking for a better night of sleep, the Sleep Center at Mile Bluff is here.

Great Care Made Easy

When you put your trust in Mile Bluff for your healthcare needs, you can be assured you will receive comprehensive, innovative treatments and services, and that you will be treated like family.
