As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Perez offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ectopic Pregnancy: OB/GYNs specialize in managing ectopic pregnancies, a serious condition where the embryo develops outside the womb, potentially causing complications.
- Uterine Cancer: Uterine cancer is a disease where cancerous cells grow in the uterus, and an OB/GYN provides diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar affecting pregnant women, potentially impacting both mom and baby's health; your OB/GYN will create a plan to manage this condition throughout your pregnancy.
- Placenta Previa: Placenta previa is a pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, potentially causing bleeding and requiring specialized OB/GYN care.
- Cervix Carcinoma: Cervical cancer develops in the cervix and requires expert care from an OB/GYN for early detection via screenings and appropriate treatment plans to manage or cure it.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable menstrual bleeding is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a condition best addressed by an OB/GYN who can pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- 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.
- Preeclampsia: OB/GYNs are essential in diagnosing and treating preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, ensuring the health of both the mother and baby.
- 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.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Your OB/GYN is key to managing HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer and other health concerns, by providing regular screenings and guiding you on preventative care.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Weakening of the muscles and tissues supporting the vagina can cause a prolapse, where organs descend into the vagina; OB/GYNs specialize in managing this condition.
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. Perez offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: For women with pelvic organ prolapse, surgery provides a solution to repair the weakened tissues and restore the organs to their correct position within the pelvis, thereby relieving the associated symptoms.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening tests check for common STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea, helping diagnose infections early for effective treatment.
- Mammography: Mammography is a screening test that uses low-dose X-rays to check for breast abnormalities, helping find breast cancer early when it's most treatable.
- Hysterectomy: This surgery removes the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and nearby tissues, to treat various health issues.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: A simple blood test, Rh incompatibility screening, helps determine whether you need treatment during pregnancy to prevent potential problems related to blood type differences between you and your baby.
- Infertility Evaluation: This process involves medical history review, physical exams, and tests to assess the reproductive health of both partners, helping determine the cause of infertility.
- 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.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging during pregnancy helps diagnose potential problems, such as birth defects or complications, allowing for early intervention.
- Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation aims to lessen or eliminate excessive menstrual bleeding by removing or destroying the inner layer of the uterus.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: These screenings aim to find cancer before you have symptoms, improving your chances of successful treatment and a better outcome.
- Hysteroscopy: During a hysteroscopy, your doctor can diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions, such as removing polyps or scar tissue, all within a single procedure.
- Pregnancy Test: Whether you suspect you're pregnant or need confirmation, a pregnancy test can give you peace of mind.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Perez:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Perez, is trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Perez 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 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Perez performs gynecological surgery, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a quicker recovery.
- 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. Perez 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. Perez provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT risks and benefits, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- It's understandable that you're concerned about painful and heavy periods. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that affects your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Perez can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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.
- 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.
