As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Le offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common infection that can sometimes cause cancer; your OB/GYN offers testing and treatments to help you stay healthy.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means a baby isn't growing as expected in the womb, and an OB/GYN monitors the baby's growth and helps ensure a healthy delivery.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Menopausal and postmenopausal disorders are health problems that can occur during and after menopause, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.
- 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.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Some women have conditions that affect their blood's ability to clot; OB/GYNs provide specialized care to prevent or address problems during and after pregnancy.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into its muscular layer, leading to painful periods and heavy menstrual bleeding; an OB/GYN provides diagnosis and management.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: OB/GYNs specialize in managing ectopic pregnancies, a serious condition where the embryo develops outside the womb, potentially causing complications.
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms and treatment options.
- Multiple Gestation: If you're pregnant with multiples, your OB/GYN will help you navigate the unique challenges, offering frequent check-ups and personalized care to ensure a safe delivery.
- Female Infertility: Female infertility affects many couples, and an OB/GYN can help determine the underlying problem and provide personalized treatment plans to increase the chances of pregnancy.
- Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer is a disease where cancerous cells form in the ovaries, and OB/GYNs play a key role in its diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Gynecologic Cancer: From early detection through treatment and survivorship, your OB/GYN plays a vital role in managing gynecologic cancers.
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. Le offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Pregnancy Test: Whether you suspect you're pregnant or need confirmation, a pregnancy test can give you peace of mind.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: The pregnancy non-stress test is a painless way to assess your baby's health and detect potential problems.
- Fetal Ultrasound: Fetal ultrasound scans are used to detect potential problems with your pregnancy early on, enabling timely intervention and better outcomes.
- Mammography: Mammography is a screening test that uses low-dose X-rays to check for breast abnormalities, helping find breast cancer early when it's most treatable.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is a common and often preferred method of childbirth, aiming for a safe and natural birth experience.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: This procedure involves a doctor inserting a small device into your uterus for long-term birth control, offering a safe and convenient option.
- Vaginosis Screening: During a vaginosis screening, your doctor will take a sample from your vagina to look for abnormal bacteria and provide appropriate care.
- 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.
- First Trimester Screening: This early pregnancy screening helps assess the risk of your baby having certain genetic conditions like Down syndrome or Trisomy 18.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: For women with pelvic organ prolapse, surgery provides a solution to repair the weakened tissues and restore the organs to their correct position within the pelvis, thereby relieving the associated symptoms.
- Endometrial Ablation: If you experience heavy bleeding during your periods, endometrial ablation is a potential treatment that reduces or stops the bleeding by targeting the uterine lining.
- 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Le:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Le, 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. Le 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 often focuses on establishing a relationship and discussing healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically necessary unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Le performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in faster recovery times.
- 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. Le can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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, a Pap test combined with an HPV test is preferred every 5 years. Dr. Le will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Le 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.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images, but are not used for medical diagnosis and are an optional service for keepsake purposes.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can sometimes be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Le can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
