- Low Back Pain During Pregnancy: Low back pain during pregnancy is a common discomfort that an OB/GYN can help manage with advice on posture, exercise, and pain relief.

- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: A prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing them to bulge into the vagina; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia affects pregnant women by raising blood pressure and impacting organ function; your OB/GYN is crucial for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
- Uterine Fibroids: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat uterine fibroids, offering various options like medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on the severity and symptoms.
- Pregnancy-Related Disorders: From gestational diabetes to preeclampsia, pregnancy-related disorders can impact the health of the mother and child; your OB/GYN will monitor and manage these complications.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders encompass a variety of cervix-related problems not triggered by infection; your OB/GYN provides comprehensive care including diagnosis and treatment options.
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. Wang:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Wang, 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. Dr. Wang 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 about healthy habits and building a relationship with your provider, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Wang provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Wang will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. Wang will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 first visit is essential for confirming the pregnancy, establishing a due date, and developing a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Wang can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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.
