Irvine Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services
As Orange County’s largest LGBTQ+ medical clinic, Radiant Health Centers is dedicated to providing the best health services to the community. Our team is committed to delivering family planning and sexual and reproductive healthcare to patients, ranging from medical advice and examinations to compassionate emotional support. If you are considering starting a family or need assistance with screenings and treatment, our medical professionals are here to help.
Our Reproductive Health Services
Radiant Health Centers experienced team understands the individual needs of the LGBTQ+ community and assists with family planning, birth control, testing and more. Here are some of our primary services.
- Family planning
- Pelvic examinations
- Clinical breast examinations
- Contraceptive care
- STD testing
- Pregnancy testing
Many within the LGBTQ+ community face numerous barriers to healthcare. Along with discrimination and a lack of understanding, access to fertility treatment may be limited. Our family planning services provide safe and confidential guidance for LGBTQ+ people who have decided to start a family.
As part of our comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, we assist patients with annual checkups. These checkups include a pelvic exam, HPV test, STD testing, breast exam, testicular exam and prostate screening. It is vital that men and women undergo periodic screenings, and do so without fear that a provider will lack understanding of LGBTQ+ issues.
Who Should Consider Using Reproductive Health Services?
Lesbian women face a risk of cervical cancer and STIs. However, a study found that lesbian women were 30% less likely to undergo annual routine physical exams than their heterosexual peers. Studies have also reported that compared with heterosexual women, lesbian and bisexual women have an increased risk of breast, cervical and ovarian cancer.
This lack of access to a regular provider also affects gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community. An estimated 30% of the LGBTQ+ community does not seek healthcare services, or lacks a regular provider.
It’s important to remember that regular screenings are key to discovering diseases early, when treatment success rates are their highest.
Access to Testing Services in Orange County
HIV, STD and hepatitis C testing is key to maintaining good sexual health. At Radiant Health Centers, we offer discrete testing services for clients in Orange County. Periodic testing is crucial for identifying any issues, while immediate tests are available if you suspect exposure. In the event of a positive test we also provide effective treatment options to prevent or treat HIV, including PrEP, PEP and Rapid ART.
