As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Ziworitin offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Some women have conditions that affect their blood's ability to clot; OB/GYNs provide specialized care to prevent or address problems during and after pregnancy.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: An OB/GYN provides regular prenatal care during a healthy pregnancy, ensuring both mother and baby remain well.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: If your baby is smaller than expected during pregnancy, it could be IUGR, a condition your OB/GYN will carefully track and manage to give your baby the best chance.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Experiencing unexpected bleeding between periods or prolonged, intense periods? An OB/GYN can determine the underlying reason for this abnormal uterine bleeding and offer solutions.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: If a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube or elsewhere outside the uterus, it's called an ectopic pregnancy, requiring urgent care from your OB/GYN.
- Ovarian Pregnancy: An OB/GYN provides critical care for ovarian pregnancy, a dangerous type of ectopic pregnancy where the fertilized egg attaches to the ovary, demanding immediate medical intervention to preserve the woman's health and fertility.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: From monitoring blood counts to recommending treatment, your OB/GYN plays a crucial role in managing blood disorders to protect both your and your baby's health during pregnancy.
- High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are extra health concerns for the mother or baby during pregnancy, and an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage potential complications.
- Placenta Previa: In placenta previa, the placenta attaches low in the uterus, potentially blocking the cervix. Your OB/GYN will manage this high-risk pregnancy to keep you and your baby safe.
- Multiple Gestation: An OB/GYN is your go-to doctor for managing a multiple pregnancy, offering extra monitoring and planning for the complexities of carrying more than one baby.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: An OB/GYN plays a vital role in helping women with pre-existing diabetes manage their condition for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Preeclampsia: OB/GYNs are essential in diagnosing and treating preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, ensuring the health of both the mother and baby.
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. Ziworitin offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Excision of Cervix: If precancerous cells are found on the cervix, an excision procedure may be performed to remove them and prevent cancer development.
- Hysteroscopy: This procedure uses a small camera to look inside the uterus, allowing for a precise diagnosis and sometimes even immediate treatment of uterine problems.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: For women experiencing severe symptoms from uterine conditions, a laparoscopic hysterectomy offers a less invasive surgical option to remove the uterus, improving their quality of life.
- Mammography: To screen for breast cancer, a mammogram takes pictures of your breast tissue to identify any suspicious areas that might need further investigation.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography is a non-invasive imaging test used to check for problems with your uterus and fallopian tubes that could be causing fertility issues or other reproductive concerns.
- STD Screening: STD screening tests check for sexually transmitted infections to help identify and treat infections early.
- Oophorectomy: If you have ovarian cysts, cancer, or other conditions affecting your ovaries, your doctor may recommend an oophorectomy to improve your health.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening uses ultrasound to check your baby's heart health during pregnancy.
- Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test detects the presence of a pregnancy hormone in your urine or blood.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: A simple blood test, Rh incompatibility screening, helps determine whether you need treatment during pregnancy to prevent potential problems related to blood type differences between you and your baby.
- Infertility Evaluation: This process involves medical history review, physical exams, and tests to assess the reproductive health of both partners, helping determine the cause of infertility.
- First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening provides you with important information about your baby's health early in pregnancy, allowing for informed decision-making.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Ziworitin:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- Dr. Ziworitin is an OB/GYN, meaning she specializes in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). She is trained to 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 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 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. Ziworitin 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?
- Yes, Dr. Ziworitin 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 often result in a quicker recovery.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Ziworitin will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Ziworitin provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 crucial for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Ziworitin will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
