- Uterine Fibroids: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat uterine fibroids, offering various options like medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on the severity and symptoms.

- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: Asymptomatic post-menopausal status means a woman has gone through menopause without experiencing any noticeable symptoms.
- Breast Abscess: A painful, pus-filled lump in your breast might be a breast abscess, a condition your OB/GYN can effectively diagnose and treat with medication or a minor procedure.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Menopause and postmenopause bring about various physical and emotional changes; your OB/GYN helps you navigate these, offering support and treatment options.
- 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.

- Ovarian Cysts: OB/GYNs are the specialists who diagnose and manage ovarian cysts, which are fluid-filled pockets on the ovaries that may cause pain or other symptoms.
- Cervicitis: Cervicitis is a condition causing inflammation of the cervix, and your OB/GYN is the specialist to see for diagnosis and treatment, which might include medication or addressing underlying causes.
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders are problems with a woman's menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or painful periods, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Vaginal and pelvic prolapse is when pelvic organs, like the bladder or uterus, drop down and push against or into the vagina.
- Mastodynia: OB/GYNs are skilled in managing mastodynia, helping women understand the potential causes of their breast pain and providing relief through medication, self-care techniques, or further investigation.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Brooks:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Brooks, 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. Brooks 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 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 or problem.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Brooks provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing 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. Brooks will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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 every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Brooks will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Brooks can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Brooks will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you select the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Brooks performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in faster recovery times. Please contact our office to discuss your specific needs.
