As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Udoh offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: If your baby is smaller than expected during pregnancy, it could be IUGR, a condition your OB/GYN will carefully track and manage to give your baby the best chance.
- Eclampsia: If a pregnant woman develops eclampsia, an OB/GYN will offer essential medical management to control high blood pressure, prevent seizures, and ensure the well-being of both mother and baby.
- 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.
- Bacterial Vaginosis: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria, leading to symptoms like unusual discharge and odor; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Your OB/GYN can help you manage a UTI, which is an infection of your bladder or kidneys, through testing and treatment options.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Your OB/GYN can help manage noninflammatory cervical conditions, such as cervical ectropion or polyps, which are abnormalities that may not cause symptoms but can be identified during routine checkups.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Your OB/GYN plays a key role in managing STDs, offering testing, diagnosis, treatment plans, and advice on safer sex practices to reduce your risk.
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- Mastodynia: Breast pain (mastodynia) can be uncomfortable, but your OB/GYN can help determine if it's related to your menstrual cycle, a benign condition, or something requiring further evaluation and treatment.
- Placenta Previa: If the placenta covers your cervix during pregnancy (placenta previa), an OB/GYN provides specialized care, including monitoring for bleeding and planning delivery.
- Menstrual Disorders: Irregular, painful, or excessively heavy periods are examples of menstrual disorders, and an OB/GYN provides care to manage these conditions.
- Yeast Infections: Yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN provides accurate diagnosis and effective 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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Udoh offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: Fetal cardiac monitoring tracks your baby's heartbeat during pregnancy to check for any irregularities.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography (or SIS) is a type of ultrasound that uses a saline solution to check the shape of your uterus and if your fallopian tubes are open.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: During IUD placement, a doctor inserts a tiny, T-shaped device into your uterus to provide highly effective birth control.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an obstetric ultrasound allows doctors to see the baby, assess its development, and identify potential issues.
- Oophorectomy: An oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an ultrasound scan provides detailed pictures of your baby, placenta, and uterus to monitor the pregnancy's progress.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: This surgery involves removing a woman's ovaries and fallopian tubes, often to treat or prevent certain medical conditions.
- Tubal Ligation: It's a type of birth control where a doctor closes or cuts the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, making pregnancy impossible.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): VBAC allows women who've had a C-section to try delivering their next baby vaginally.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is the natural process of giving birth, where the baby passes through the vagina.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Udoh:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Udoh, is a physician 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. Udoh 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship with your doctor. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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 visit 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 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 also be given to young adults.
- 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 warrants evaluation. These symptoms could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Udoh 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. Udoh will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Udoh 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 quicker recovery times.
- 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 ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images, but is not used for medical diagnosis and is an optional service for keepsake purposes.
