As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Kolar offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Atrophic Vaginitis: If you're experiencing vaginal dryness, burning, or itching, especially after menopause, it might be atrophic vaginitis, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat with various methods.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: OB/GYNs specialize in women's reproductive health, so they are the best healthcare providers to help you manage and treat vaginitis or vaginosis, which affect the vagina.
- 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.
- Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar affecting pregnant women, potentially impacting both mom and baby's health; your OB/GYN will create a plan to manage this condition throughout your pregnancy.

- Ovarian Cancer: OB/GYNs are crucial in detecting and managing ovarian cancer, a type of cancer that starts in the ovaries, a woman's reproductive organs.
- 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.
- Gynecologic Cancer: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat cancers of the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, and vulva, providing comprehensive care throughout the process.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Symptomatic menopause describes the period when the end of menstruation is accompanied by disruptive physical or emotional symptoms, such as sleep problems or weight gain, all manageable with the help of an OB/GYN.
- High Risk Pregnancy: During a high-risk pregnancy, your OB/GYN offers more frequent checkups, advanced testing, and close monitoring to minimize risks to you and your baby.
- Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, and OB/GYNs play a role in screening, diagnosis, and referring patients to specialists for treatment.
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. Kolar:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Kolar, is 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. Kolar provides comprehensive 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 first 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.
- 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. Kolar 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. Kolar provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT risks and benefits, 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 appointment is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool for assessing fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is normal, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Kolar 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. Kolar will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, like a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
