As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Micus offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Twin Pregnancy: Twin pregnancies, while joyous, often require more frequent checkups and specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure the health of both babies and the mother throughout the pregnancy and delivery.
- Breast Lump: Finding a lump in your breast can be concerning, but your OB/GYN can perform exams and order imaging tests to diagnose the lump and provide appropriate care.
- 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.
- 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.
- Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: Blood clots in the legs (venous thrombosis and phlebitis) are a potential complication of pregnancy, and your OB/GYN will work with you to minimize this risk and manage treatment if necessary.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: If you have diabetes before getting pregnant, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar and plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- Pregnancy-Related Disorders: Many health issues arise during pregnancy, affecting both mother and baby; your OB/GYN works to identify and manage these conditions to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery.
- Uterine Diseases: From fibroids to infections, uterine diseases affect the female reproductive system, and OB/GYNs are the specialists to address these conditions.
- Endometriosis: If you experience painful periods, heavy bleeding, or difficulty conceiving, you may have endometriosis; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread through sexual contact, and OB/GYNs diagnose and treat these infections, offering testing and appropriate medications.
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- Gestational Diabetes: If you're pregnant and have gestational diabetes, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar levels and ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Micus:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Micus, 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. Micus 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 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Micus provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Current guidelines recommend Pap smears every 3 years for women ages 21-29, and every 5 years for women ages 30-65 with an HPV test added. However, these are general guidelines, and Dr. Micus will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- 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. Micus can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 and should be evaluated. These symptoms can be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Micus can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. The 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.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. It's an optional service.
