As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Rahman offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Gestational Diabetes: If you're pregnant and have gestational diabetes, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar levels and ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Adenomyosis: If uterine tissue grows into the muscle of your uterus, causing painful and heavy periods, you may have adenomyosis, a condition treatable by your OB/GYN.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you experience unusually heavy bleeding, an OB/GYN can investigate the causelike hormonal imbalances or uterine fibroidsand recommend appropriate treatment.
- Tubal Pregnancy: If a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the womb, it's called a tubal pregnancy, a serious condition requiring your OB/GYN's expertise for diagnosis and treatment.
- Yeast Infections: Characterized by vaginal itching, burning, and unusual discharge, yeast infections are easily treated by your OB/GYN with antifungal creams or pills.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but an OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if there's a cause for concern.
- Cervical Cancer: OB/GYNs are key in detecting and treating cervical cancer through regular Pap smears and other tests, offering various treatment options if cancer is found.
- Breech Position: When a baby lies bottom or feet first in the womb (breech), your OB/GYN will help determine the safest way to deliver your baby.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a sudden inflammation of the vagina, often causing discomfort like itching and discharge, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat the infection.
- Miscarriages: OB/GYNs are healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage miscarriages, providing comprehensive care and support to patients throughout the process.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: A Pap smear abnormality indicates that cells from your cervix show some irregularities, and your OB/GYN will help determine if further tests are needed.
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.

- Endometrial Ablation: If you experience heavy bleeding during your periods, endometrial ablation is a potential treatment that reduces or stops the bleeding by targeting the uterine lining.
- 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.
- Vaginosis Screening: This screening helps identify an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina, allowing for early treatment to prevent complications.

- Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: This involves removing or destroying abnormal areas in the vagina, often to confirm a diagnosis or treat a problem.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Rahman:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- Dr. Rahman is an OB/GYN, meaning she specializes in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). She is trained to 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 first 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Rahman provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and perform screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 preferred. Dr. Rahman will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual 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 for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. These images are not used to replace the standard 2D ultrasound.
- 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 a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Rahman will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Rahman will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
