As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Creedon offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Abnormal uterine bleeding can signal various health issues. Your OB/GYN can perform tests to identify the problem, such as hormonal changes or structural abnormalities, and provide effective management.
- Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: The extra pressure and hormonal changes of pregnancy can cause hemorrhoids (swollen veins in your rectum or anus), which your OB/GYN can diagnose and help you treat.
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: An imbalance of yeast in the vagina results in a yeast infection, characterized by uncomfortable symptoms; your OB/GYN is the right specialist to help manage this condition.
- Gestational Diabetes Postpartum: After giving birth, some women experience gestational diabetes, a type of high blood sugar that began during pregnancy; an OB/GYN helps these women manage their blood sugar levels and reduce health risks.
- Ovarian Cancer: If you have concerns about ovarian cancer, your OB/GYN can provide screenings, diagnosis, treatment options, and ongoing health management for this condition affecting the ovaries.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Your OB/GYN is your partner in managing pregestational diabetes, providing care to minimize complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
- Breech Position: Your OB/GYN will assess if your baby is in a breech position, where it's positioned feet or buttocks-first, and recommend the best delivery plan.
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders encompass a range of issues affecting menstruation, from absent periods to very painful ones, all treatable by an OB/GYN.
- Preeclampsia: If you develop dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy, it could be preeclampsia, requiring close observation and treatment from your OB/GYN.
- Acute Vaginitis: If you experience sudden vaginal irritation, burning, or unusual discharge, it could be acute vaginitisyour OB/GYN can help identify the cause and provide effective treatment.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: If your Pap smear comes back abnormal, it doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but your OB/GYN will order more tests to find out what's causing the abnormality.
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. Creedon offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Doctors assess whether a vaginal delivery or VBAC is appropriate based on the individual's medical history and current pregnancy.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery that removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to the end of menstruation and a reduction in certain cancer risks.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: Expect to lie on your back while a technician applies a gel and moves a device over your belly to produce images of your baby during a pregnancy ultrasound.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): VBAC involves trying to deliver a baby vaginally after a prior cesarean section, under close medical supervision.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: Nuchal translucency screening is an ultrasound test performed early in pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby.
- STD Screening: STD screening tests check for sexually transmitted infections to help identify and treat infections early.
- Ovarian Cystectomy: Sometimes, a cyst on the ovary needs to be surgically removed; this procedure is called an ovarian cystectomy.

- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a quick procedure to insert a small device into your uterus for effective, long-term birth control that can be easily reversed.
- C-Section: A C-section is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Creedon:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Creedon, 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. Creedon 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 first visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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 (boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
- 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. Creedon can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include 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. Creedon will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Creedon 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 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Creedon provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provides screenings for bone density and heart health.
