As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Duran offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: OB/GYNs treat tubo-ovarian abscesses, which are infections in the fallopian tubes and ovaries causing pain and fever, often requiring antibiotics or surgical drainage.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Lower estrogen levels can cause atrophic vaginitis, leading to discomfort and changes in the vagina; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: An abnormal Pap smear result signals the need for additional testing and monitoring by your OB/GYN to rule out precancerous or cancerous changes in your cervix.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): OB/GYNs provide comprehensive care for STDs, including testing, diagnosis, treatment, and counseling on prevention strategies to protect your sexual health.
- Pelvic Abscess: A pelvic abscess is a collection of pus in the pelvic area, often caused by infection, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or surgery.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Vaginal infections like vaginitis and vaginosis can be effectively diagnosed and treated by an OB/GYN through examinations and sometimes lab tests.
- Cervicitis: Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, often caused by infection, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or other appropriate methods.
- Breast Lump: Whether a breast lump is benign or malignant, your OB/GYN plays a key role in its evaluation, diagnosis, and management, providing you with guidance and support throughout the process.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Hyperemesis gravidarum is a pregnancy complication characterized by extreme nausea and vomiting that can lead to weight loss and dehydration; an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage this condition.
- Cervical Cancer: Abnormal cervical cells can lead to cervical cancer, a serious condition that OB/GYNs manage through regular checkups, advanced screenings, and treatment plans.
- Maternal Anemia: During pregnancy, anemia means a lack of iron or other nutrients resulting in low red blood cell count, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and manage with dietary changes, supplements, or medication.
- Adenomyosis: With adenomyosis, uterine tissue invades the uterine muscle, leading to painful periods and heavy bleeding; your OB/GYN can offer various treatment options to alleviate these symptoms.
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. Duran:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Duran, 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. Duran is trained in both and 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 unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Dr. Duran offers various birth control options, including hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Duran will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Duran can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Duran provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. This includes discussion of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) risks and benefits, and 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. Duran will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Duran 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 result in a faster recovery.
