As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Shull offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Cancer: Uterine cancer is a disease where cancerous cells grow in the uterus, and an OB/GYN provides diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Lower estrogen levels can cause atrophic vaginitis, leading to discomfort and changes in the vagina; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: From hot flashes to bone loss, an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions related to menopause and the postmenopausal period.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- Female Infertility: OB/GYNs are experts in diagnosing and treating infertility in women, investigating factors such as ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, or uterine issues.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Gynecologic Cancer: If you're diagnosed with a cancer of the female reproductive system, your OB/GYN will coordinate your care, often working with other specialists.
- Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but an OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if there's a cause for concern.
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down into the vagina, sometimes causing discomfort or pressure.
- Adenomyosis: Experiencing intensely painful and heavy periods? Adenomyosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows into the uterine muscle, may be the cause, and your OB/GYN can help you find relief.
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders are problems with a woman's menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or painful periods, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms near a woman's fallopian tube and ovary, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or surgery.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Shull:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Shull, 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. Shull is trained in both and 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 about healthy habits and establishing a relationship with the provider, and a pelvic exam is not usually needed unless there is a specific concern.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Shull performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in quicker recovery times.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. Dr. Shull can diagnose the cause, which may be treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and offer solutions.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Shull provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide 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 (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.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. It is an optional service.
- 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 crucial for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and developing a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
