As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Romberg offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs cause painful urination and other symptoms, and an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medication.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia affects pregnant women by raising blood pressure and impacting organ function; your OB/GYN is crucial for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
- Breech Position: During pregnancy, if your baby is in a breech presentation (feet or bottom down), your OB/GYN will guide you on management options to ensure a healthy delivery.
- High Risk Pregnancy: If you have health conditions like diabetes or hypertension, or experience pregnancy complications, your OB/GYN will manage your high-risk pregnancy to ensure the best outcomes.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is when the vagina's supporting tissues weaken, causing the vaginal walls or other pelvic organs to bulge or drop into the vagina.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Lower estrogen levels can cause atrophic vaginitis, leading to discomfort and changes in the vagina; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
- Tubal Pregnancy: An OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and treating ectopic pregnancies (tubal pregnancies), which are dangerous and require prompt medical intervention.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): If you're concerned about an STD, your OB/GYN can perform tests to determine if you have an infection and provide effective treatment options to manage it.
- Gestational Diabetes: Your OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related complication of high blood sugar, to help ensure a healthy outcome for you and your baby.
- 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.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: OB/GYNs manage routine prenatal care for uncomplicated pregnancies, providing education and support to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Cervical Leukoplakia: If you have cervical leukoplakia, an OB/GYN will perform exams and possibly a biopsy to determine if the condition requires treatment to reduce the risk of cancer.
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. Romberg offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: This ultrasound test helps your doctor assess the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes by gently inflating them with fluid and using sound waves to create an image.
- Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a special magnifying instrument to examine your cervix for abnormal cells.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): A LEEP or similar procedure is used to take away abnormal cells from the cervix that might be precancerous.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This non-invasive procedure uses sensors to monitor your baby's heart rate, providing important information about their health throughout pregnancy and labor.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: If you have heavy bleeding, uterine fibroids, or other uterine problems, a laparoscopic hysterectomy might be recommended as a way to remove the uterus with smaller incisions.
- Myomectomy: Experiencing heavy bleeding or pain from uterine fibroids? A myomectomy surgically removes these growths to lessen your symptoms.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery that removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to the end of menstruation and a reduction in certain cancer risks.
- Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is major surgery used to treat uterine diseases and conditions; it permanently ends the ability to have children.
- Open Hysterectomy: For severe uterine issues or cancer, an open hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through a visible incision in the abdomen. Expect a longer recovery time than minimally invasive procedures.
- Endocervical Curettage: To diagnose certain conditions affecting the cervix, a small sample of tissue is collected using a procedure called endocervical curettage.
- Pap Smear: This quick procedure involves collecting a sample of cells from your cervix to screen for cervical cancer and precancerous changes.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: This procedure involves a doctor inserting a small device into your uterus for long-term birth control, offering a safe and convenient option.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Romberg:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Romberg, is a physician 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. Romberg provides comprehensive 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. Romberg will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. Romberg can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Romberg will advise on a personalized schedule based on your 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 (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.
- 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. Romberg will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
