As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Bowyer offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- 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.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Fallopian tube disorders affect the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat issues like blockages or infections that may impact fertility or cause pain.
- Ovarian Pregnancy: An OB/GYN specializes in managing ovarian pregnancies, a dangerous condition where a pregnancy develops outside the uterus, specifically on the ovary, requiring urgent care to prevent complications.
- 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.
- 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.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: OB/GYNs manage routine prenatal care for uncomplicated pregnancies, providing education and support to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Miscarriages: Losing a pregnancy before it reaches 20 weeks is a miscarriage, and OB/GYNs provide medical attention, emotional support, and advice on future pregnancies.
- 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.
- Mastodynia: Experiencing breast pain? Your OB/GYN can evaluate the cause of your mastodynia, which can range from hormonal changes to underlying medical issues, and provide appropriate treatment options.
- Pelvic Abscess: An OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you develop a pelvic abscess, a painful collection of pus, as they can offer effective treatment to clear the infection.
- 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.
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. Bowyer offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Pap Smear: This quick procedure involves collecting a sample of cells from your cervix to screen for cervical cancer and precancerous changes.
- Birth Control: Birth control can help regulate periods and reduce menstrual symptoms.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: A VBAC is considered a safe option for some women who have had a previous cesarean, but involves careful monitoring and assessment.
- Colposcopy: If your Pap smear shows abnormal results, a colposcopy allows your doctor to get a closer look and take a small sample for testing.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a procedure where a small device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Fetal Ultrasound: To assess your baby's health and your pregnancy's progress, your doctor will likely use a fetal ultrasound, a painless and safe imaging technique.
- First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening is a group of tests offered during your first three months of pregnancy to check for potential health problems in your baby.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening helps identify heart defects or abnormalities in your unborn baby's heart.

- Endometrial Ablation: For women with debilitatingly heavy periods, endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that reduces menstrual flow by targeting the source of the bleeding in the uterus.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Bowyer:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Bowyer, is trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Most OB/GYNs provide 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 often focuses on establishing a relationship and discussing healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed at this visit unless there is a specific concern.
- 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. Bowyer can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess the baby's 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.
- 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. Bowyer will discuss your lifestyle and health factors to help you choose the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Bowyer performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can often result in a quicker recovery.
- 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 be given to young adults as well.
- 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 excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants a visit with Dr. Bowyer. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Bowyer can determine the cause and recommend appropriate solutions.
