As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Constantine offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Prolapse: If your uterus is falling or has fallen into your vagina (uterine prolapse), an OB/GYN can help you find treatment options.
- Breech Position: A breech baby is positioned feet or bottom first for delivery, a situation your OB/GYN will manage to ensure a safe birth.
- 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.
- Mastodynia: Experiencing breast pain? Your OB/GYN can evaluate the cause of your mastodynia, which can range from hormonal changes to underlying medical issues, and provide appropriate treatment options.
- Cervix Carcinoma: Cervical cancer is a disease where abnormal cells in the cervix grow and can spread to other parts of the body, and OB/GYNs provide crucial diagnosis, treatment, and management.
- Maternal Anemia: Anemia in pregnancy can lead to complications for both mother and baby; your OB/GYN will screen for it and recommend treatments like iron supplements to prevent problems.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- Yeast Infections: Characterized by vaginal itching, burning, and unusual discharge, yeast infections are easily treated by your OB/GYN with antifungal creams or pills.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): OB/GYNs provide comprehensive care for STDs, including testing, diagnosis, treatment, and counseling on prevention strategies to protect your sexual health.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: OB/GYNs specialize in managing ectopic pregnancies, a serious condition where the embryo develops outside the womb, potentially causing complications.
- Amenorrhea: If you've missed your period and are concerned, an OB/GYN can investigate potential reasons for amenorrhea and provide appropriate care.
- Breast Cancer: While not directly treating breast cancer, OB/GYNs often detect early signs through regular exams, enabling early diagnosis and potentially improving treatment outcomes.
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: This procedure is a treatment option for women with heavy menstrual bleeding that hasn't responded to other treatments, offering a less invasive alternative to a hysterectomy.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Knowing your genetic risk for breast cancer through screening can inform decisions about preventative steps like increased mammograms or even preventative surgeries.
- Vaginosis Screening: This screening helps identify an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina, allowing for early treatment to prevent complications.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This surgery removes a suspicious area on the cervix, helping diagnose or treat problems such as cervical dysplasia.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Constantine:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Constantine, is 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. Constantine 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 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.
- 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. Constantine can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Constantine will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Constantine will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Constantine 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.
- 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 visit is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can sometimes be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Constantine can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
