As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Chu offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Amenorrhea: Amenorrhea means the absence of menstrual periods, and an OB/GYN can help determine the cause and recommend treatment.
- Twin Pregnancy: Having twins means expecting two babies instead of one, and your OB/GYN will provide extra monitoring and support throughout your pregnancy and delivery to manage the increased risks.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles weaken, allowing the uterus, bladder, or rectum to push into the vagina; your OB/GYN can offer various treatments.
- 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.
- 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.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Vaginitis and vaginosis are infections or imbalances of the vagina that cause irritation, discharge, and sometimes odor, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these conditions.
- 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.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): STDs are infections passed between people during sexual activity; your OB/GYN can screen for them, provide treatment if needed, and discuss ways to prevent them.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) means having periods that are heavier, lighter, more frequent, or longer than usual, and an OB/GYN can help diagnose and treat the cause.
- Gonorrhea Infections: An OB/GYN can test for and effectively treat gonorrhea, a bacterial infection affecting the reproductive system.
- Genital Warts: OB/GYNs provide diagnosis and treatment for genital warts, which are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that may show up as raised bumps in the genital area.
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.

- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: These screenings aim to find cancer before you have symptoms, improving your chances of successful treatment and a better outcome.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Chu:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Chu, is a specialist 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. Chu 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 initial visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Chu can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Chu provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT risks and benefits, and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. For women ages 30-65, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Chu will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- 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, which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens (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 something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants evaluation. Dr. Chu can diagnose the cause, which might be treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, 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 such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Chu will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
