- Uterine Cancer: An OB/GYN plays a crucial role in the prevention, detection, and treatment of uterine cancer, offering regular check-ups and managing various treatment approaches.
- Vulvar Leukoplakia: Vulvar leukoplakia is a condition causing white patches on the vulva, and an OB/GYN can diagnose it and recommend treatment options.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Symptomatic menopause means experiencing bothersome physical or emotional symptoms as your periods stop, and an OB/GYN can help manage these symptoms with treatments like hormone therapy or lifestyle changes.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: During pregnancy, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurs when a baby doesn't grow as it should. Your OB/GYN will closely monitor you and your baby's health to ensure the safest outcome.
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: Vaginal yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.
- Adenomyosis: Experiencing intensely painful and heavy periods? Adenomyosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows into the uterine muscle, may be the cause, and your OB/GYN can help you find relief.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: If you suspect a fallopian tube issue causing pain, infertility, or other symptoms, an OB/GYN can evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders encompass a variety of cervix-related problems not triggered by infection; your OB/GYN provides comprehensive care including diagnosis and treatment options.
- 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.
- Gonorrhea Infections: An OB/GYN can test for and effectively treat gonorrhea, a bacterial infection affecting the reproductive system.
- Mastodynia: Don't suffer in silence with breast pain. Your OB/GYN can provide a thorough examination, discuss potential causes of your mastodynia, and develop a personalized plan to manage your discomfort.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Pregnancy can increase the risk of blood clots; OB/GYNs monitor for and treat these coagulation defects to ensure a safe 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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Aserlind offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: Nuchal translucency screening uses ultrasound to evaluate the thickness of the fluid-filled area on the back of the baby's neck, providing an early assessment of potential genetic conditions.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Knowing your genetic risk for breast cancer through screening can inform decisions about preventative steps like increased mammograms or even preventative surgeries.
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a procedure where a small device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Women at high risk for ovarian cancer may undergo screening tests to increase their chances of early detection.
- Fetal Ultrasound: To assess your baby's health and your pregnancy's progress, your doctor will likely use a fetal ultrasound, a painless and safe imaging technique.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: A VBAC is considered a safe option for some women who have had a previous cesarean, but involves careful monitoring and assessment.
- Mammography: A mammogram is an X-ray of your breasts used to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before you can feel any lumps.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove a woman's uterus through small incisions, often used to treat conditions like fibroids or endometriosis.
- Endometrial Ablation: If you experience heavy bleeding during your periods, endometrial ablation is a potential treatment that reduces or stops the bleeding by targeting the uterine lining.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Aserlind:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Aserlind, is a specialist 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. Aserlind 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 or problem.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Aserlind performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a faster recovery.
- 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 development, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images, but is not a substitute for standard ultrasound for medical evaluations, and is used primarily for keepsake purposes.
- 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. Aserlind 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. Aserlind 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 the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. Dr. Aserlind can diagnose the cause, which may include treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and offer solutions.
