As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Terry offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable menstrual bleeding is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a condition best addressed by an OB/GYN who can pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Blood disorders during pregnancy, like anemia, can impact both mom and baby, and your OB/GYN will monitor and treat these conditions to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
- Breech Position: During pregnancy, if your baby is in a breech presentation (feet or bottom down), your OB/GYN will guide you on management options to ensure a healthy delivery.
- Gestational Diabetes: Your OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related complication of high blood sugar, to help ensure a healthy outcome for you and your baby.
- High Risk Pregnancy: High-risk pregnancies involve increased chances of problems like preeclampsia or premature birth, requiring an OB/GYN's expert monitoring and treatment.
- Maternal Anemia: Maternal anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells during pregnancy, potentially causing fatigue and complications. OB/GYNs regularly check for this and provide treatment plans, often involving iron supplements and dietary changes.
- Menstrual Disorders: If your menstrual cycle is causing you problems whether it's too heavy, too light, too painful, or just unpredictable an OB/GYN can help you find relief and effective management strategies.
- Pelvic Abscess: If you have a pelvic abscess, a painful collection of infected fluid in your pelvis, your OB/GYN can provide appropriate treatment, including medication and/or surgery.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: An OB/GYN plays a vital role in helping women with pre-existing diabetes manage their condition for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Vaginal infections like vaginitis and vaginosis can be effectively diagnosed and treated by an OB/GYN through examinations and sometimes lab tests.
- Yeast Infections: Characterized by vaginal itching, burning, and unusual discharge, yeast infections are easily treated by your OB/GYN with antifungal creams or pills.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Terry:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Terry, 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. Terry provides care for women throughout their lives, encompassing both aspects of women's health.
- 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 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 your pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods can be concerning. 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 could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Terry 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. Terry will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Terry 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 can result in a faster recovery.
- 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. Terry 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. Terry provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Discussions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and screenings for bone density and heart health are also part of this care.
