As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Atilade offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Menstrual Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing problems with your period, like changes in flow, frequency, or pain, as they can help manage your menstrual health.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a condition marked by rapid onset vaginal inflammation; your OB/GYN will determine the underlying cause (like infection) and recommend appropriate care.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): If you're concerned about an STD, your OB/GYN can perform tests to determine if you have an infection and provide effective treatment options to manage it.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Your OB/GYN can help you manage a UTI, which is an infection of your bladder or kidneys, through testing and treatment options.
- Breech Position: Your OB/GYN will assess if your baby is in a breech position, where it's positioned feet or buttocks-first, and recommend the best delivery plan.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Encounters for normal pregnancies involve routine checkups with an OB/GYN to monitor a mother's and baby's health throughout the pregnancy.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is when a baby in the uterus is not growing at the expected rate; your OB/GYN can help identify potential problems and develop a care plan.
- Uterine Cancer: An OB/GYN plays a crucial role in the prevention, detection, and treatment of uterine cancer, offering regular check-ups and managing various treatment approaches.
- Vaginal Prolapse: A weakened vagina can cause organs to slip down, leading to vaginal prolapse; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Ovarian Cysts: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on a woman's ovaries, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat them, often through monitoring or minimally invasive procedures.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the specialist to see if you're experiencing pain or fertility problems potentially related to your fallopian tubes; they can perform tests and recommend treatments.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

- Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening helps identify heart defects or abnormalities in your unborn baby's heart.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: An obstetric ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of a developing baby in the womb, checking its growth and health.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- Open Hysterectomy: This major surgery involves removing the uterus through an open incision in your lower abdomen, typically used to treat serious uterine problems or cancer.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): VBAC involves trying to deliver a baby vaginally after a prior cesarean section, under close medical supervision.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, Rh incompatibility screening identifies any potential blood type mismatch that could affect your baby and allows for preventative measures.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Through various tests, your doctor checks for signs of cancer in your cervix, uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Atilade:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Atilade, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Atilade provides care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used for assessing fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes but are not typically used for medical diagnoses. These services are optional and should be discussed with Dr. Atilade.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Atilade will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Atilade will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. Your first prenatal appointment is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Atilade will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants evaluation. These symptoms can be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Atilade can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
