As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Bookout offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders encompass a range of issues affecting menstruation, from absent periods to very painful ones, all treatable by an OB/GYN.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a viral infection affecting the genitals, causing painful sores and blisters; your OB/GYN can provide testing, treatment options, and counseling to help manage this STI.
- Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer is a disease where cancerous cells form in the ovaries, and OB/GYNs play a key role in its diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- 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.
- Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: The extra pressure and hormonal changes of pregnancy can cause hemorrhoids (swollen veins in your rectum or anus), which your OB/GYN can diagnose and help you treat.
- Yeast Infections: If you experience vaginal itching, burning, or abnormal discharge, it could be a yeast infection; your OB/GYN can confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate antifungal treatment.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia affects pregnant women by raising blood pressure and impacting organ function; your OB/GYN is crucial for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
- Twin Pregnancy: An OB/GYN is crucial for managing a twin pregnancy, as it presents unique challenges, such as increased risk of premature birth or complications, that need close medical attention.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: A Pap smear abnormality indicates that cells from your cervix show some irregularities, and your OB/GYN will help determine if further tests are needed.
- Female Infertility: Female infertility is the inability to get pregnant after one year of trying, and OB/GYNs provide comprehensive evaluations and treatments to help couples conceive.
- Uterine Prolapse: A prolapsed uterus occurs when the uterus shifts from its normal position and descends into the vagina, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Symptomatic menopause means experiencing bothersome physical or emotional symptoms as your periods stop, and an OB/GYN can help manage these symptoms with treatments like hormone therapy or lifestyle changes.
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. Bookout offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: To detect ovarian cancer early, screening involves tests like ultrasounds or blood tests to look for potential problems.
- Colposcopy: During a colposcopy, your doctor uses a magnifying device to examine the cervix and vagina for any abnormalities that might need further investigation.
- Tubal Ligation: If you're certain you don't want more children, a tubal ligation is a permanent surgical option to stop your ability to conceive.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: If you experience a bulging feeling in your vagina or have trouble emptying your bladder or bowel, vaginal prolapse surgery may be an option to correct the anatomical problem and improve your quality of life.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Doctors assess whether a vaginal delivery or VBAC is appropriate based on the individual's medical history and current pregnancy.
- Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: This involves removing or destroying abnormal areas in the vagina, often to confirm a diagnosis or treat a problem.
- Hysteroscopy: Hysteroscopy is a procedure where a thin, lighted scope is inserted into the uterus to examine the lining and check for problems like fibroids or polyps.
- Amniocentesis: During amniocentesis, a needle is gently inserted into the pregnant belly to collect fluid that surrounds the baby, helping diagnose potential health problems.
- STD Screening: During an STD screening, your doctor will collect samples to test for various sexually transmitted infections.
- 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.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.
- Open Hysterectomy: This major surgery involves removing the uterus through an open incision in your lower abdomen, typically used to treat serious uterine problems or cancer.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Bookout:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Bookout, 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. Bookout 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 to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- 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. Bookout will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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 indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Bookout can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Bookout 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 faster recovery times.
- 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.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. While many breast lumps are benign, any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation by a healthcare professional. Dr. Bookout will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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.
