As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Awai offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a serious infection affecting the female reproductive organs; your OB/GYN is the specialist to manage this condition, using antibiotics and potentially surgery.
- 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.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that develop in the uterus and can cause a range of symptoms; your OB/GYN is best equipped to diagnose and treat them.
- Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, and your OB/GYN is crucial for prevention, early detection, and management of this cancer.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Blood disorders during pregnancy, like anemia, can impact both mom and baby, and your OB/GYN will monitor and treat these conditions to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
- 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.
- Uterine Carcinoma: If you're diagnosed with uterine cancer (uterine carcinoma), your OB/GYN will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and provide ongoing support.
- Breast Lump: Breast lumps can be caused by various factors, and your OB/GYN is qualified to assess the lump, discuss your concerns, and determine if further tests or specialist referrals are needed.
- Breech Position: When a baby lies bottom or feet first in the womb (breech), your OB/GYN will help determine the safest way to deliver your baby.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- 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.
- Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but an OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if there's a cause for concern.
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. Awai offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: A hysterosalpingogram is a quick procedure using ultrasound and a sterile fluid to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes for any blockages or abnormalities that could affect fertility.
- First Trimester Screening: During your first trimester, this screening uses blood tests and an ultrasound to estimate the chances of chromosomal abnormalities in your developing baby.
- Pregnancy Test: Pregnancy tests are available at home or through your doctor to help you determine if you're expecting.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: This service assesses your menopausal symptoms and develops a personalized plan to alleviate discomfort and improve your well-being during menopause.
- Vaginosis Screening: A vaginosis screening involves a simple exam to detect and diagnose bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection.
- Tubal Ligation: If you're certain you don't want more children, a tubal ligation is a permanent surgical option to stop your ability to conceive.
- STD Screening: STD screening tests check for sexually transmitted infections to help identify and treat infections early.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an obstetric ultrasound allows doctors to see the baby, assess its development, and identify potential issues.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: A nuchal translucency scan is a quick ultrasound that checks for extra fluid behind your baby's neck, giving you an idea of the possibility of genetic problems.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Genetic screening for breast cancer helps identify your risk of developing the disease based on your genes.
- Colposcopy: During a colposcopy, your doctor uses a magnifying device to examine the cervix and vagina for any abnormalities that might need further investigation.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Women might undergo a salpingo-oophorectomy to address ovarian cysts, tumors, or as a preventative measure against ovarian cancer.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Awai:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Awai, 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. Awai 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 typically not needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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 your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. While most breast lumps are benign, any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Awai 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.
- 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. Awai will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 during pregnancy. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnosis.
- 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. Awai can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
