As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Guinn offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pregnancy: During pregnancy, an OB/GYN monitors the mother's and baby's health, managing potential complications and ensuring a healthy birth.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: OB/GYNs specialize in women's reproductive health, so they are the best healthcare providers to help you manage and treat vaginitis or vaginosis, which affect the vagina.
- Fallopian Tube Torsion: Severe abdominal pain may be a sign of fallopian tube torsion, a condition where the fallopian tube twists; OB/GYNs are specialized to diagnose and manage this problem, often with immediate surgery.
- 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.
- Low Back Pain During Pregnancy: Many pregnant women experience low back pain; your OB/GYN can provide treatment options and strategies to alleviate this pain.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding and pain, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms with medication or surgery.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders are problems with the cervix that aren't caused by infection, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues, often with minimally invasive procedures.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- Vulvar Leukoplakia: Vulvar leukoplakia is a condition causing white patches on the vulva, and an OB/GYN can diagnose it and recommend treatment options.
- Amenorrhea: Amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation, is a condition an OB/GYN can help you understand and address, providing tailored management or treatment options.
- Yeast Infections: Characterized by vaginal itching, burning, and unusual discharge, yeast infections are easily treated by your OB/GYN with antifungal creams or pills.
- 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.
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. Guinn offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation aims to lessen or eliminate excessive menstrual bleeding by removing or destroying the inner layer of the uterus.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: This test uses sound waves to create images of your baby's heart, allowing doctors to detect any potential problems early on.
- Oophorectomy: An oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Vaginal prolapse surgery repairs weakened vaginal muscles and tissues that have fallen or protruded from their normal position, relieving discomfort and improving bladder and bowel function.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Get personalized care to address hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and other challenges that come with menopause; treatment options will be discussed and tailored to your needs.
- Pap Smear: A Pap smear is a preventative screening test that helps detect cervical cancer early, when it's most treatable.
- Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is a prenatal test where a small amount of amniotic fluid is removed from around the baby to check for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: During this early pregnancy scan, doctors measure the thickness of the fluid-filled space at the back of your baby's neck to estimate the risk of certain birth defects.
- Fetal Ultrasound: During pregnancy, a fetal ultrasound provides a visual check-up of your baby, showing its size, position, and any potential issues.
- First Trimester Screening: It's a set of tests done between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy that helps identify potential issues like birth defects, giving you options for further testing and planning.
- Hysterectomy: Hysterectomy is a treatment option for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding that don't respond to other therapies.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: If you're sexually active, STI screening is a crucial part of preventive care, helping to detect and treat infections to safeguard your reproductive health and prevent transmission to partners.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Guinn:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Guinn, 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. Guinn 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 initial visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship with your provider. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Guinn 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 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. Guinn 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. Guinn can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. Guinn will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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. Guinn will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Guinn provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss hormone replacement therapy options and provide screenings for bone density and heart health, crucial for a healthy transition.
