Emergency Care for Women in Houston

Women’s emergency care at Montrose Emergency Room is immediate evaluation and treatment for women experiencing serious, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms. Our ER is open 24/7, with an emergency physician on site and on-site imaging and laboratory testing so many conditions can be assessed in a single visit.

Montrose Emergency Room is a freestanding emergency room, not an OB/GYN clinic. We do not provide routine prenatal care, delivery services or on-site obstetric or gynecologic specialty departments. What we do provide is 24/7 emergency evaluation for a wide range of urgent symptoms, and when a woman needs specialty care, hospital admission or a higher level of care, our team can coordinate transfer to the appropriate facility.

Know the Warning Signs

Women's Symptoms That May Need Emergency Evaluation

Many symptoms can be safely evaluated in the emergency room. The list below is educational and does not replace an individual medical evaluation. If a symptom appears life-threatening, call 911.

  • Severe abdominal pain, sudden or worsening
  • Severe pelvic pain
  • Heavy or unusual bleeding
  • Fainting or loss of consciousness
  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Severe or sudden headache
  • Stroke warning signs
  • Signs of dehydration
  • Persistent vomiting
  • Kidney or urinary symptoms with severe pain or fever
  • High or persistent fever
  • Signs of serious infection
  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Significant injuries
  • Possible broken bones

If symptoms may be life-threatening — severe chest pain, major difficulty breathing, stroke signs, heavy uncontrolled bleeding or loss of consciousness — call 911 immediately.

When Should a Woman Go to the ER?

A woman should go to the emergency room for severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms — such as severe abdominal or pelvic pain, heavy or unusual bleeding, chest pain, serious difficulty breathing, stroke warning signs, fainting, or a sudden severe headache. If symptoms may be life-threatening, call 911 instead of driving.

For mild, non-urgent concerns, a primary care or urgent care visit is often appropriate. When symptoms are severe or you are unsure, emergency evaluation is the safer choice. Montrose Emergency Room is open 24/7 and welcomes walk-ins.

Common Emergency Concerns

Severe Abdominal or Pelvic Pain

Severe or sudden abdominal or pelvic pain can have many causes and may need emergency evaluation, particularly with fever, persistent vomiting, fainting, bleeding or severe tenderness. When clinically appropriate, the care team may use laboratory testing, ultrasound or CT imaging to help determine the cause.

Heavy Bleeding or Sudden Symptoms

Heavy or unusual bleeding, especially with dizziness, weakness or fainting, should be evaluated promptly. Emergency care can assess your condition, check for signs of significant blood loss and begin appropriate treatment.

Chest Pain in Women

Chest pain in women is not always the “classic” crushing pain. It can include pressure, shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, or pain in the back, jaw or arm. These symptoms should be taken seriously and evaluated promptly. If chest pain is severe, call 911.

Difficulty Breathing

Sudden or worsening difficulty breathing can be associated with many conditions and needs prompt attention. Montrose Emergency Room offers respiratory evaluation with on-site X-ray and CT when medically appropriate.

Severe Headache, Weakness or Neurological Symptoms

A sudden severe headache, one-sided weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, vision changes or confusion may signal a serious condition and should be evaluated urgently. When stroke is a concern, call 911.

Urinary & Kidney Emergencies

Urinary symptoms with high fever, severe back or side pain, vomiting or signs of a spreading infection may require emergency evaluation. A urinary infection can sometimes become serious and need prompt treatment.

Emergency Evaluation During Pregnancy

Montrose Emergency Room does not provide routine prenatal care or delivery services and does not have an on-site obstetric department. However, pregnancy-related symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, severe headache or significant difficulty breathing can be medical emergencies. In these situations, emergency evaluation and, when medically necessary, transfer to a hospital with obstetric services can be coordinated. If you are pregnant and have severe or life-threatening symptoms, call 911.

On-Site Diagnostics

Diagnostic Testing Available

When testing is medically appropriate, on-site imaging and laboratory services help the care team evaluate your condition in one place.

CT Scan

CT imaging may help evaluate certain head, chest and abdominal emergencies when ordered by the physician.

Digital X-Ray

X-rays help assess possible fractures, certain chest conditions and other injuries.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound may be used for selected abdominal, pelvic and other evaluations when clinically appropriate.

On-Site Laboratory

Lab testing supports evaluation of infection, dehydration, cardiac concerns and other conditions.

EKG & Cardiac Testing

An EKG and related testing may be used for chest pain, palpitations or other heart-related symptoms.

Testing is selected based on your symptoms, examination and the physician's assessment.
