As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Delukie offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common infection that can sometimes cause cancer; your OB/GYN offers testing and treatments to help you stay healthy.
- High Risk Pregnancy: During a high-risk pregnancy, your OB/GYN offers more frequent checkups, advanced testing, and close monitoring to minimize risks to you and your baby.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Pregestational diabetes is diabetes that a woman has before becoming pregnant, and an OB/GYN helps manage it to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
- Pregnancy: Obstetricians and gynecologists (OB/GYNs) guide women through all stages of pregnancy, from prenatal checkups to delivery and postpartum recovery.
- Placenta Previa: Placenta previa is a pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, potentially causing bleeding and requiring specialized OB/GYN care.
- Vaginal Prolapse: If the tissues supporting your vagina weaken, organs may bulge into the vaginal canal, a condition called vaginal prolapse, treatable by your OB/GYN.
- Maternal Anemia: Anemia in pregnancy can lead to complications for both mother and baby; your OB/GYN will screen for it and recommend treatments like iron supplements to prevent problems.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Certain cervical changes, like benign growths or structural issues, are considered noninflammatory cervical disorders; your OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if needed.
- Menstrual Disorders: If your menstrual cycle is causing you problems whether it's too heavy, too light, too painful, or just unpredictable an OB/GYN can help you find relief and effective management strategies.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs cause painful urination and other symptoms, and an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medication.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: During pregnancy, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurs when a baby doesn't grow as it should. Your OB/GYN will closely monitor you and your baby's health to ensure the safest outcome.
- Ovarian Cysts: Women experiencing pain, bloating, or irregular periods might have ovarian cysts; your OB/GYN will provide an exam and recommend treatment if necessary.
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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Delukie offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: These screenings aim to find cancer before you have symptoms, improving your chances of successful treatment and a better outcome.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that removes the uterus through several small incisions in the abdomen and is often a solution for significant uterine problems.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening uses ultrasound to check your baby's heart health during pregnancy.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: Fetal cardiac monitoring tracks your baby's heartbeat during pregnancy to check for any irregularities.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: A hysterosalpingogram is a quick procedure using ultrasound and a sterile fluid to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes for any blockages or abnormalities that could affect fertility.
- First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening provides you with important information about your baby's health early in pregnancy, allowing for informed decision-making.
- Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation is a procedure to destroy or remove the lining of the uterus, often used to treat heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Delukie:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Delukie, is a medical doctor specializing in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They provide comprehensive 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often just a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific problem.
- What is the HPV vaccine and who should get it?
- The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can also be given to young adults.
- 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 visit 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 have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods can be concerning. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Delukie can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Delukie will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Delukie performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a quicker recovery.
- 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. Delukie will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you select the best method for you.
