- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Experiencing pelvic pain and fever? A tubo-ovarian abscess might be the cause, and your OB/GYN is the right doctor to diagnose and treat it, often using antibiotics and monitoring for complications.

- Menstrual Disorders: Menstrual disorders are problems with a woman's menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or painful periods, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues.
- Acute Vaginitis: If you experience sudden vaginal irritation, burning, or unusual discharge, it could be acute vaginitisyour OB/GYN can help identify the cause and provide effective treatment.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Vaginal dryness and thinning, known as atrophic vaginitis, is a common problem after menopause, and your OB/GYN can provide relief and treatment options to improve comfort.
- Ovarian Cysts: Women experiencing pain, bloating, or irregular periods might have ovarian cysts; your OB/GYN will provide an exam and recommend treatment if necessary.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: If a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube or elsewhere outside the uterus, it's called an ectopic pregnancy, requiring urgent care from your OB/GYN.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: An OB/GYN plays a vital role in helping women with pre-existing diabetes manage their condition for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Ovarian Cancer: OB/GYNs are crucial in detecting and managing ovarian cancer, a type of cancer that starts in the ovaries, a woman's reproductive organs.
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. Allen:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- Dr. Allen is an OB/GYN, combining 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. Allen is trained in both and 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 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.
- 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. Allen 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. Allen 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Allen 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 often result in quicker recovery times.
- 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. Allen can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps, or a referral to a fertility specialist if needed.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we understand can be concerning. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants evaluation. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Allen can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Allen will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
