As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Sass offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Cancer: If you're diagnosed with uterine cancer, your OB/GYN will work with you to create a treatment plan that might include surgery, radiation, or other therapies.
- Yeast Infections: Yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN provides accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.
- Acute Vaginitis: Sudden pain, itching, or unusual discharge from your vagina might indicate acute vaginitis; an OB/GYN can accurately diagnose and treat the issue, relieving your symptoms.
- 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.
- Uterine Prolapse: If your uterus is falling or has fallen into your vagina (uterine prolapse), an OB/GYN can help you find treatment options.
- Gynecologic Cancer: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN, including Pap smears and pelvic exams, are crucial for early detection of gynecologic cancers.
- Uterine Fibroids: These benign tumors in the uterus, called fibroids, can lead to problems with periods and fertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage them.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable menstrual bleeding is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a condition best addressed by an OB/GYN who can pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Problems with your fallopian tubes, such as ectopic pregnancy or damage, can be diagnosed and managed by an OB/GYN who offers various treatment options.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: This refers to a woman who has completed menopause without experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness, and her OB/GYN monitors her overall health.
- Rectovaginal Fistula: Rectovaginal fistula is a hole that develops between the rectum and vagina, leading to stool leakage; your OB/GYN can help assess the issue and guide your treatment plan.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding and pain, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms with medication 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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Sass offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a quick check-up that can help determine if you have an infection needing treatment and to prevent future issues.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: An obstetric ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of a developing baby in the womb, checking its growth and health.
- 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.
- Pap Smear: During a Pap smear, your doctor takes a small sample of cells from your cervix to detect any abnormalities or infections.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Vaginal prolapse surgery is a procedure to lift and support organs that have dropped down into the vagina, resolving issues such as urinary incontinence, constipation, or pelvic pain.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: STI screening involves simple tests like urine or swab samples to identify the presence of various STIs, providing valuable information for managing your sexual health.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: This service assesses your menopausal symptoms and develops a personalized plan to alleviate discomfort and improve your well-being during menopause.
- Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: Vaginal lesions (abnormal areas) are surgically removed or destroyed to improve health and prevent complications.
- Open Hysterectomy: If you have a uterine condition that requires removal, an open hysterectomy is a surgical option involving a larger abdominal incision, allowing direct access to the uterus.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: A non-stress test during pregnancy monitors your baby's heartbeat to check its well-being.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: To detect ovarian cancer early, screening involves tests like ultrasounds or blood tests to look for potential problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Sass:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Sass, 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. Sass provides 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 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.
- 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 a more visual, photo-like image of the baby, but is not used for medical diagnoses. It's an optional service for creating keepsakes.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Sass can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Sass can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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.
- 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. Sass will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 needs immediate evaluation. Dr. Sass will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
