As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Langsjoen offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ectopic Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat an ectopic pregnancy, a dangerous condition where the fertilized egg grows in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: Asymptomatic post-menopause describes a woman's transition after menopause without any troubling physical symptoms. OB/GYNs still recommend regular check-ups to maintain health.
- Cervical Incompetence: Cervical incompetence is a condition where the cervix opens too early during pregnancy, potentially causing miscarriage or premature birth, and OB/GYNs provide specialized care and treatment options to help maintain a healthy pregnancy.
- 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.
- Symptomatic Menopause: When menopause causes noticeable symptoms like hot flashes or mood swings, it's called symptomatic menopause, and an OB/GYN can offer various treatment options to relieve discomfort.
- Multiple Gestation: An OB/GYN is your go-to doctor for managing a multiple pregnancy, offering extra monitoring and planning for the complexities of carrying more than one baby.
- Female Infertility due to Tubal Disorder: Female infertility due to tubal disorders means a woman is unable to get pregnant because of problems with her fallopian tubes, and an OB/GYN can help diagnose and treat these issues.
- Maternal Anemia: Anemia in pregnancy can lead to complications for both mother and baby; your OB/GYN will screen for it and recommend treatments like iron supplements to prevent problems.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: An abnormal Pap smear result means changes were found in the cells of your cervix that need further evaluation by an OB/GYN.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms near a woman's fallopian tube and ovary, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or surgery.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to vaginal and pelvic prolapse, causing organs to protrude into the vagina; an OB/GYN offers various treatment options.
- Cervical Cancer: Abnormal cervical cells can lead to cervical cancer, a serious condition that OB/GYNs manage through regular checkups, advanced screenings, and treatment plans.
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. Langsjoen offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: This ultrasound test helps your doctor assess the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes by gently inflating them with fluid and using sound waves to create an image.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Gynecologic cancer screening involves tests to detect cancers of the female reproductive system early, when treatment is most effective.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This test uses a device to listen to and record your baby's heart rate, helping your doctor monitor their health.
- 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.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: STI screening involves simple tests like urine or swab samples to identify the presence of various STIs, providing valuable information for managing your sexual health.
- Tubal Ligation: This surgery involves severing or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent fertilization and future pregnancies.
- In Vitro Fertilization: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a treatment for infertility where eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab dish, and then the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus.
- First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening is a group of tests offered during your first three months of pregnancy to check for potential health problems in your baby.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Ovarian cancer screening uses tests to check for early signs of ovarian cancer, even before symptoms appear.
- Mammography: If you're at risk for breast cancer or need a breast health check, a mammogram is a low-dose X-ray procedure that helps your doctor see inside your breast tissue for any problems.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is a common and often preferred method of childbirth, aiming for a safe and natural birth experience.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): To diagnose or treat cervical abnormalities, a portion of the cervix may be surgically removed during this procedure.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Langsjoen:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Langsjoen, 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. Langsjoen 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, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Langsjoen provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and performing 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 the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being during pregnancy. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. These images are not a substitute for the standard 2D ultrasound.
- 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 your 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 be given to young adults as well.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Langsjoen can diagnose the cause and offer appropriate 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. Langsjoen will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
