As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Jiang offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): If you experience symptoms like frequent, painful urination, your OB/GYN can determine if you have a UTI and offer effective treatment.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that develop in the uterus and can cause a range of symptoms; your OB/GYN is best equipped to diagnose and treat them.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is when a baby in the uterus is not growing at the expected rate; your OB/GYN can help identify potential problems and develop a care plan.
- Uterine Prolapse: If your uterus is falling or has fallen into your vagina (uterine prolapse), an OB/GYN can help you find treatment options.
- Adenomyosis: Experiencing intensely painful and heavy periods? Adenomyosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows into the uterine muscle, may be the cause, and your OB/GYN can help you find relief.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Vaginal infections like vaginitis and vaginosis can be effectively diagnosed and treated by an OB/GYN through examinations and sometimes lab tests.
- 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.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders encompass a variety of cervix-related problems not triggered by infection; your OB/GYN provides comprehensive care including diagnosis and treatment options.
- Placenta Previa: When the placenta is positioned too low in the uterus, blocking the cervix, it's called placenta previa; your OB/GYN will monitor you closely and recommend the best course of action.
- Acute Cervicitis: Experiencing pain, discharge, or bleeding from your vagina? Acute cervicitis, an infection of the cervix, could be the cause, and your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see for diagnosis and treatment.
- Breast Lump: Breast lumps can be caused by various factors, and your OB/GYN is qualified to assess the lump, discuss your concerns, and determine if further tests or specialist referrals 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Jiang:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Jiang, is a specialist 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. Jiang 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 or problem.
- 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 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, 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.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being during pregnancy. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images, but is not typically used for medical diagnoses and is an optional service for creating keepsakes.
- 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 heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Jiang can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Jiang can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. Jiang will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
