naProTECHNOLOGY  (Natural Procreative Technology)

NaProTECHNOLOGY* is a new women's health science that works cooperatively with a woman's menstrual and fertility cycles.  NaProTECHNOLOGY is the first system to network family planning using the Creighton Model FertilityCareTM System with reproductive and gynecologic health monitoring and maintenance. Its use has applications in family planning, the evaluation and treatment of infertility and other reproductive disorders, abnormal bleeding, abnormal hormone conditions of the menstrual cycle including premenstrual syndrome and recurrent ovarian cysts, the dating of the beginning of a pregnancy, and postpartum depression.  While education of patients is one of its foundations, NaProTECHNOLOGY also relies on developments in medical technology such as targeted hormone surveys, expert ultrasound evaluation, and various surgical approaches that utilize laser technology, microsurgical applications and anti-adhesion strategies.

*"NaProTECHNOLOGY" is a registered trademark of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction.   (The Pope Paul VI Institute is a National and International Center for the Study of Morally and Professionally Acceptable Reproductive Health Services, and is the Home of FertilityCare and NaProTECHNOLOGY.)
