As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Lemley offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: OB/GYNs treat tubo-ovarian abscesses, which are infections in the fallopian tubes and ovaries causing pain and fever, often requiring antibiotics or surgical drainage.
- Miscarriages: OB/GYNs are healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage miscarriages, providing comprehensive care and support to patients throughout the process.
- Postpartum Cardiomyopathy: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is a serious heart condition that can develop after giving birth; your OB/GYN plays a key role in its detection and treatment plan.
- Ovarian Cysts: OB/GYNs are the specialists who diagnose and manage ovarian cysts, which are fluid-filled pockets on the ovaries that may cause pain or other symptoms.
- Preeclampsia: If you develop dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy, it could be preeclampsia, requiring close observation and treatment from your OB/GYN.
- Tubal Pregnancy: During a tubal pregnancy, the embryo grows outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube, and your OB/GYN can provide treatment options to prevent complications.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN can identify and manage blood-related problems that may arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, helping you have a safer delivery.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): An OB/GYN can screen for HPV, a virus linked to several types of cancer, through Pap smears and other tests, and they can discuss prevention methods like vaccination.
- Breech Position: Your OB/GYN will assess if your baby is in a breech position, where it's positioned feet or buttocks-first, and recommend the best delivery plan.
- 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.
- Breast Lump: OB/GYNs are trained to detect and manage breast lumps; they can explain the next steps, offer reassurance, and coordinate your care with other specialists if necessary.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: If you're experiencing vaginal dryness, burning, or itching, especially after menopause, it might be atrophic vaginitis, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat with various methods.
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. Lemley offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: The pregnancy non-stress test is a painless way to assess your baby's health and detect potential problems.
- Infertility Evaluation: If you're struggling to conceive, an infertility evaluation helps identify potential problems in either partner that may be preventing pregnancy.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): If abnormal cells are found on your cervix, this procedure might remove them to prevent cancer.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This test uses a device to listen to and record your baby's heart rate, helping your doctor monitor their health.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: Rh incompatibility screening tests your blood to see if you might have problems during pregnancy related to your blood type and your baby's blood type.
- Pap Smear: A Pap smear is a preventative screening test that helps detect cervical cancer early, when it's most treatable.
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: An IUD is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive placed in the uterus by a doctor to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: To monitor your pregnancy, your doctor may recommend an ultrasound scan to check your baby's heartbeat, position, and overall well-being.
- Amniocentesis: During amniocentesis, a needle is gently inserted into the pregnant belly to collect fluid that surrounds the baby, helping diagnose potential health problems.
- Endometrial Ablation: For women with debilitatingly heavy periods, endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that reduces menstrual flow by targeting the source of the bleeding in the uterus.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Regular STI testing can prevent serious health problems by detecting infections before symptoms appear, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing the risk of complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Lemley:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Lemley, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. Gynecologists specialize in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Most OB/GYNs are trained to 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 health concern.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Lemley 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Lemley provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and offering screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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.
- 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. Lemley can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 isn't used for medical diagnosis. These are optional services.
