As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Touadrous offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Adenomyosis: With adenomyosis, uterine tissue invades the uterine muscle, leading to painful periods and heavy bleeding; your OB/GYN can offer various treatment options to alleviate these symptoms.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: If you have diabetes before getting pregnant, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar and plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- Cervicitis: Your OB/GYN can help if you have cervicitis, which is an infection or irritation of your cervix that may cause unusual discharge or bleeding; they'll provide the right treatment plan.
- 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.
- Obesity Complicating Childbirth: Being overweight or obese during pregnancy increases the chances of complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and a difficult delivery; your OB/GYN can help you manage these risks.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: A prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing them to bulge into the vagina; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: If you experience persistent, intense vomiting during pregnancy, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum; your OB/GYN can help alleviate the symptoms and prevent dehydration and nutritional deficiencies.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Your OB/GYN plays a key role in managing STDs, offering testing, diagnosis, treatment plans, and advice on safer sex practices to reduce your risk.
- Twin Pregnancy: With a twin pregnancy, your OB/GYN will provide comprehensive care, including regular monitoring, specialized tests, and a customized birth plan to address the unique needs of a multiple gestation.
- Genital Herpes: Painful sores or blisters in the genital area could be genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection that OB/GYNs diagnose and treat, offering medication and advice for managing the condition.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: Asymptomatic post-menopausal status means a woman has gone through menopause without experiencing any noticeable symptoms.
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. Touadrous offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Tubal Ligation: If you're certain you don't want more children, a tubal ligation is a permanent surgical option to stop your ability to conceive.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: During IUD placement, a doctor inserts a tiny, T-shaped device into your uterus to provide highly effective birth control.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal tissue from the cervix, often to prevent or treat precancerous or cancerous changes.
- Infertility Evaluation: Through blood tests, imaging, and other procedures, an infertility evaluation helps determine whether the cause of infertility is related to the woman, the man, or a combination of factors.
- Fetal Ultrasound: Fetal ultrasound scans are used to detect potential problems with your pregnancy early on, enabling timely intervention and better outcomes.
- Birth Control: Discuss your options for preventing pregnancy with an OB/GYN to find the best fit for your lifestyle.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.
- Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is major surgery used to treat uterine diseases and conditions; it permanently ends the ability to have children.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: This surgery addresses a condition where pelvic organs (like the uterus or bladder) bulge into the vagina, causing symptoms like pelvic pressure or urinary problems; it aims to restore organ support and reduce symptoms.
- Myomectomy: This operation removes fibroids from your uterus, reducing symptoms such as painful periods and heavy bleeding associated with these growths.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Knowing your genetic risk for breast cancer through screening can inform decisions about preventative steps like increased mammograms or even preventative surgeries.
- First Trimester Screening: It's a set of tests done between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy that helps identify potential issues like birth defects, giving you options for further testing and planning.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Touadrous:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Touadrous, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Touadrous 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Touadrous provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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, 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 be given to young adults as well.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Touadrous performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, offering patients faster recovery times.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Touadrous can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Touadrous 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, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Touadrous will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
