As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Umeh offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Breast Lump: OB/GYNs are trained to detect and manage breast lumps; they can explain the next steps, offer reassurance, and coordinate your care with other specialists if necessary.
- Menstrual Disorders: If your menstrual cycle is causing you problems whether it's too heavy, too light, too painful, or just unpredictable an OB/GYN can help you find relief and effective management strategies.
- Multiple Gestation: Having twins, triplets, or more fetuses is called a multiple gestation pregnancy, and your OB/GYN will monitor you and your babies closely for a healthy outcome.
- Tubal Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN is the best doctor to see if you suspect a tubal pregnancy, as this is a dangerous condition that needs careful medical management and might require surgery.
- Gestational Diabetes: If you're pregnant and have gestational diabetes, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar levels and ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Uterine Carcinoma: Uterine carcinoma is cancer that starts in the uterus, and an OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: If your Pap smear comes back abnormal, it doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but your OB/GYN will order more tests to find out what's causing the abnormality.
- 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.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Hyperemesis gravidarum is a pregnancy complication characterized by extreme nausea and vomiting that can lead to weight loss and dehydration; an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage this condition.
- Uterine Prolapse: A prolapsed uterus occurs when the uterus shifts from its normal position and descends into the vagina, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- Uterine Fibroids: Heavy periods, pelvic pain, or frequent urination might be signs of uterine fibroids, which your OB/GYN can evaluate and create a personalized treatment plan for.
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. Umeh:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Umeh, 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. Umeh provides care for women throughout their lives, encompassing both specialties.
- 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 about healthy habits and building a relationship with a provider. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- 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. Umeh will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Umeh provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Umeh will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- 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. Umeh can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Umeh 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 quicker 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 growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnoses. They are an optional service.
