As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Deleon 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.
- Cervicitis: Experiencing unusual vaginal discharge or bleeding? Cervicitis, an infection or irritation of the cervix, could be the cause, and your OB/GYN can provide the necessary testing and treatment.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that develop in the uterus and can cause a range of symptoms; your OB/GYN is best equipped to diagnose and treat them.
- Genital Herpes: If you have genital herpes, an OB/GYN can help you understand your diagnosis, manage symptoms with antiviral medications, and minimize the risk of spreading the infection to others.
- Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar affecting pregnant women, potentially impacting both mom and baby's health; your OB/GYN will create a plan to manage this condition throughout your pregnancy.
- Mastodynia: Experiencing breast pain? Your OB/GYN can evaluate the cause of your mastodynia, which can range from hormonal changes to underlying medical issues, and provide appropriate treatment options.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a sudden inflammation of the vagina, often causing discomfort like itching and discharge, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat the infection.
- Cervical Incompetence: A weak cervix that can't stay closed during pregnancy is called cervical incompetence; OB/GYNs help manage this by providing preventative measures like cerclage or monitoring to improve pregnancy outcomes.
- Postpartum Cardiomyopathy: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscle that can occur after childbirth, and OB/GYNs work with cardiologists to monitor and manage this condition.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): OB/GYNs treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), providing diagnosis, medication, and advice to prevent future infections.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Your OB/GYN is a great resource for understanding and managing the physical and emotional changes associated with menopause and the years that follow.
- Gynecologic Cancer: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN, including Pap smears and pelvic exams, are crucial for early detection of 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. Deleon offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: It's a routine prenatal test that uses fetal monitoring to check on your baby's health and identify potential issues.
- Oophorectomy: Oophorectomy is done to remove an ovary or both ovaries, and may be necessary for various health reasons such as ovarian cancer or cysts.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: A non-invasive procedure that assesses your baby's heartbeat and rhythm to ensure its healthy development.
- Colposcopy: If your Pap smear shows abnormal results, a colposcopy allows your doctor to get a closer look and take a small sample for testing.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Regular gynecologic cancer screenings can help prevent deaths from these cancers by catching them in their early stages.
- Fetal Ultrasound: A fetal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in the womb, helping your doctor monitor its growth and development.
- Infertility Evaluation: Through blood tests, imaging, and other procedures, an infertility evaluation helps determine whether the cause of infertility is related to the woman, the man, or a combination of factors.
- Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test detects the presence of a pregnancy hormone in your urine or blood.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Ovarian cancer screenings aim to find ovarian cancer in its early stages when treatment is most effective.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in your womb, helping to check its growth and development.
- 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.
- C-Section: When vaginal delivery isn't possible or safe, a C-section is a surgical option to deliver the baby.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Deleon:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Deleon, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Deleon 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.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Deleon will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Deleon performs gynecological surgery, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is experienced in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a faster recovery.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we understand can be concerning. 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 be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Deleon can diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate solutions.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Deleon provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and risks, and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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.
- 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. Deleon will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
