As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Li offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Gestational Diabetes Postpartum: High blood sugar that starts during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) can sometimes last after childbirth, and your OB/GYN is key to helping you control it and avoid complications.
- 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.
- Gonorrhea Infections: Gonorrhea is a treatable bacterial infection of the reproductive tract; your OB/GYN will offer testing and appropriate antibiotics.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Your OB/GYN can help you manage a UTI, which is an infection of your bladder or kidneys, through testing and treatment options.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Maternal Anemia: Maternal anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells during pregnancy, potentially causing fatigue and complications. OB/GYNs regularly check for this and provide treatment plans, often involving iron supplements and dietary changes.
- Preeclampsia: High blood pressure and protein in urine during pregnancy signal preeclampsia, a condition your OB/GYN will carefully manage to prevent complications.
- Uterine Cancer: If you're diagnosed with uterine cancer, your OB/GYN will work with you to create a treatment plan that might include surgery, radiation, or other therapies.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Extreme nausea and vomiting throughout pregnancy, known as hyperemesis gravidarum, can be treated by your OB/GYN to ensure both your and your baby's health.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: A prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing them to bulge into the vagina; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a sudden inflammation of the vagina, often causing discomfort like itching and discharge, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat the infection.
- Cervicitis: Don't ignore unusual cervical symptoms. Cervicitis, inflammation of the cervix, is diagnosed and treated by your OB/GYN to prevent complications and restore your health.
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. Li offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- C-Section: When vaginal delivery isn't possible or safe, a C-section is a surgical option to deliver the baby.
- Hysterectomy: Hysterectomy is a treatment option for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding that don't respond to other therapies.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography is a non-invasive imaging test used to check for problems with your uterus and fallopian tubes that could be causing fertility issues or other reproductive concerns.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- 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.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an ultrasound scan provides detailed pictures of your baby, placenta, and uterus to monitor the pregnancy's progress.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Li:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Li, combines both specialties. 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. Li 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 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 or problem.
- 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 (both boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well. This important vaccination helps prevent these potentially serious health problems.
- 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. Li will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Li 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. Your first prenatal appointment is typically scheduled around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming your pregnancy, establishing 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 the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides a more visual, photo-like image of the baby, but is not typically used for medical diagnosis. It's an optional service for creating keepsakes.
- 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 common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. Dr. Li can diagnose the cause, such as endometriosis or fibroids, and discuss treatment options.
