As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Sherman offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- 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.
- Yeast Infections: If you experience vaginal itching, burning, or abnormal discharge, it could be a yeast infection; your OB/GYN can confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate antifungal treatment.
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders encompass a range of issues affecting menstruation, from absent periods to very painful ones, all treatable by an OB/GYN.
- Amenorrhea: If you've missed your period and are concerned, an OB/GYN can investigate potential reasons for amenorrhea and provide appropriate care.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV is a common virus that can infect the genitals and cause health problems, including cervical cancer, and your OB/GYN can provide screening and treatment.
- High Risk Pregnancy: If you have health conditions like diabetes or hypertension, or experience pregnancy complications, your OB/GYN will manage your high-risk pregnancy to ensure the best outcomes.
- Mastodynia: Mastodynia, or breast pain, is a common condition that an OB/GYN can help diagnose and treat, often recommending strategies for pain management and lifestyle adjustments.
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down into the vagina, sometimes causing discomfort or pressure.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a condition where a baby's growth is slowed during pregnancy, often requiring close monitoring and sometimes early delivery.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders are problems with the cervix that aren't caused by infection, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues, often with minimally invasive procedures.
- Female Infertility: Struggling to conceive? An OB/GYN can conduct thorough tests to identify the reasons for infertility and recommend therapies, from lifestyle changes to advanced fertility treatments.
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. Sherman offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: This blood test checks for Rh factor incompatibility between you and your baby, which could lead to complications if left untreated during pregnancy.
- Pregnancy Test: Whether you suspect you're pregnant or need confirmation, a pregnancy test can give you peace of mind.
- Oophorectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the ovaries, which are part of a woman's reproductive system, often to treat certain conditions.
- 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.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: This involves a comprehensive review of your health and symptoms to determine the best approach to managing the changes associated with menopause.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Ovarian cancer screenings aim to find ovarian cancer in its early stages when treatment is most effective.
- 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.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: This test analyzes your DNA to see if you have gene mutations linked to a higher chance of getting breast cancer.
- STD Screening: If you're sexually active, STD screenings can help detect infections before they cause serious health problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Sherman:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Sherman, 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. Sherman 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 initial visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed at this visit unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- 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 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.
- 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. Sherman can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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 warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Sherman will perform a clinical breast exam and may order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, as needed.
- 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. Sherman will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Sherman provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Discussions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and screenings for bone density and heart health are also part of this care.
- 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.
