As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Haun offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition in which the embryo develops outside the uterus; your OB/GYN will provide diagnosis and treatment.
- 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.
- Cervical Incompetence: Cervical incompetence is a condition where the cervix opens too early during pregnancy, potentially causing miscarriage or premature birth, and OB/GYNs provide specialized care and treatment options to help maintain a healthy pregnancy.
- Uterine Cancer: Uterine cancer is a disease where cancerous cells grow in the uterus, and an OB/GYN provides diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Menopausal and postmenopausal disorders are health problems that can occur during and after menopause, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.
- 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.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: OB/GYNs are trained to identify and manage blood clotting issues in pregnant and postpartum women, minimizing risks and ensuring healthy outcomes.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you experience unusually heavy bleeding, an OB/GYN can investigate the causelike hormonal imbalances or uterine fibroidsand recommend appropriate treatment.
- Placenta Previa: Placenta previa means the placenta is covering or is very near the cervix during pregnancy, which can lead to bleeding and may need OB/GYN management.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Weakening of the muscles and tissues supporting the vagina can cause a prolapse, where organs descend into the vagina; OB/GYNs specialize in managing this condition.
- 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.
- Twin Pregnancy: A twin pregnancy is when a woman carries two babies at the same time, requiring specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both mother and babies.
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. Haun:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Haun, 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. Haun 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. A pelvic exam is typically not needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is normal, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Haun can diagnose the cause and discuss treatment options.
- 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Haun performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in faster recovery times.
- 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. Haun will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Haun will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
