As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Teng offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: Abnormal cells detected during a Pap smear require follow-up with an OB/GYN to diagnose the cause and develop a treatment plan, if necessary.
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down into the vagina, sometimes causing discomfort or pressure.
- Vaginal Prolapse: If the tissues supporting your vagina weaken, organs may bulge into the vaginal canal, a condition called vaginal prolapse, treatable by your OB/GYN.
- Miscarriages: OB/GYNs are healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage miscarriages, providing comprehensive care and support to patients throughout the process.
- High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are extra health concerns for the mother or baby during pregnancy, and an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage potential complications.
- Gynecologic Cancer: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat cancers of the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, and vulva, providing comprehensive care throughout the process.
- Maternal Anemia: If you're pregnant and have low levels of hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells), you may have maternal anemia, something your OB/GYN will help you treat to improve your and your baby's health.
- Breast Lump: Whether a breast lump is benign or malignant, your OB/GYN plays a key role in its evaluation, diagnosis, and management, providing you with guidance and support throughout the process.
- 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.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Abnormal uterine bleeding can signal various health issues. Your OB/GYN can perform tests to identify the problem, such as hormonal changes or structural abnormalities, and provide effective management.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: An OB/GYN provides regular prenatal care during a healthy pregnancy, ensuring both mother and baby remain well.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: If your baby is smaller than expected during pregnancy, it could be IUGR, a condition your OB/GYN will carefully track and manage to give your baby the best chance.
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. Teng offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a quick check-up that can help determine if you have an infection needing treatment and to prevent future issues.
- Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is a test that allows doctors to detect certain birth defects by examining the fluid surrounding the developing fetus.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): To diagnose or treat cervical abnormalities, a portion of the cervix may be surgically removed during this procedure.
- Colposcopy: A colposcopy helps your doctor detect and diagnose precancerous changes in the cervix, allowing for early treatment if needed.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: If you're having trouble getting pregnant, this ultrasound-guided procedure can help your doctor determine if there are any blockages in your fallopian tubes or abnormalities in your uterus.
- STD Screening: STD screening involves simple tests that can provide peace of mind and allow for early treatment if needed.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: This test analyzes your DNA to see if you have gene mutations linked to a higher chance of getting breast cancer.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a procedure where a small device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Regular gynecologic cancer screenings can help prevent deaths from these cancers by catching them in their early stages.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Regular STI testing can prevent serious health problems by detecting infections before symptoms appear, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing the risk of complications.
- Fetal Ultrasound: A fetal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in the womb, helping your doctor monitor its growth and development.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an obstetric ultrasound allows doctors to see the baby, assess its development, and identify potential issues.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Teng:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Teng, is a physician trained in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They provide 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 to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- 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. Teng 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. Teng will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. Teng will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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.
- 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 for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This first visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Teng can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
