As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Ogdee offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: OB/GYNs provide care for various health issues women experience before, during, and after menopause, including managing symptoms and hormone changes.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that can lead to genital warts or cancer; your OB/GYN can help prevent and manage HPV-related issues.
- Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer is a disease where cancerous cells form in the ovaries, and OB/GYNs play a key role in its diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer is a disease where abnormal cells in the cervix grow uncontrollably, and OB/GYNs provide screenings, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): OB/GYNs treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), providing diagnosis, medication, and advice to prevent future infections.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms near a woman's fallopian tube and ovary, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or surgery.
- Ovarian Cysts: OB/GYNs are the specialists who diagnose and manage ovarian cysts, which are fluid-filled pockets on the ovaries that may cause pain or other symptoms.
- 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.
- 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.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Atrophic vaginitis is a condition causing vaginal and vulvar dryness and irritation due to reduced estrogen; an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms and treatment options.
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. Ogdee:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- OB/GYNs, like Dr. Ogdee, are 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. Ogdee 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's a specific concern.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with daily life is not normal. Dr. Ogdee can diagnose the cause, such as endometriosis or fibroids, and offer solutions.
- 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 such as tubal ligation. Dr. Ogdee will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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 around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and creating a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is the preferred approach. Dr. Ogdee will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images, primarily for keepsake purposes, but is not a substitute for standard diagnostic imaging.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Ogdee provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
