As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Asaria offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Your OB/GYN plays a key role in managing STDs, offering testing, diagnosis, treatment plans, and advice on safer sex practices to reduce your risk.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Vaginal dryness and thinning, known as atrophic vaginitis, is a common problem after menopause, and your OB/GYN can provide relief and treatment options to improve comfort.
- 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.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV is a common virus that can infect the genitals and cause health problems, including cervical cancer, and your OB/GYN can provide screening and treatment.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: An OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and treating noninflammatory cervical issues, which may involve painless conditions or those with symptoms that need medical attention; they offer various management strategies.
- Cervical Incompetence: Cervical incompetence means your cervix thins and opens prematurely during pregnancy, threatening your baby's health. OB/GYNs offer various strategies, like surgical procedures or close monitoring, to help prevent this.
- Uterine Diseases: Problems with the uterus, such as abnormal bleeding or pain, are uterine diseases; your OB/GYN can provide diagnosis and treatment options.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Severe morning sickness, or hyperemesis gravidarum, is a pregnancy complication managed by OB/GYNs, who can provide medication, dietary advice, and other interventions to reduce symptoms and ensure a healthy pregnancy.
- 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.
- Placenta Previa: If the placenta covers your cervix during pregnancy (placenta previa), an OB/GYN provides specialized care, including monitoring for bleeding and planning delivery.
- Uterine Fibroids: Heavy periods, pelvic pain, or frequent urination might be signs of uterine fibroids, which your OB/GYN can evaluate and create a personalized treatment plan for.
- Gonorrhea Infections: An OB/GYN can test for and effectively treat gonorrhea, a bacterial infection affecting the reproductive system.
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. Asaria offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- First Trimester Screening: This early pregnancy screening helps assess the risk of your baby having certain genetic conditions like Down syndrome or Trisomy 18.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: By examining your genes, genetic screening can predict your likelihood of developing breast cancer, empowering you to make informed health choices.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.
- Infertility Evaluation: An infertility evaluation aims to diagnose the underlying cause of infertility so a treatment plan can be developed to improve the chances of getting pregnant.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- Laparoscopic Surgical Procedure: This procedure uses tiny incisions and a thin, lighted tube with a camera to view and repair internal reproductive organs, often causing less pain and scarring than traditional surgery.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Through various tests, your doctor checks for signs of cancer in your cervix, uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs.
- Colposcopy: If your Pap smear shows abnormal results, a colposcopy allows your doctor to get a closer look and take a small sample for testing.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Get personalized care to address hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and other challenges that come with menopause; treatment options will be discussed and tailored to your needs.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is a common and often preferred method of childbirth, aiming for a safe and natural birth experience.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Removal: This procedure is done to stop the effects of the IUD, allowing for potential pregnancy or eliminating birth control.
- Endometrial Ablation: For women with debilitatingly heavy periods, endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that reduces menstrual flow by targeting the source of the bleeding in the uterus.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Asaria:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Asaria, is a physician 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. Asaria is trained in both and 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 about healthy habits and building a relationship with the provider, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there's a specific concern.
- 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. Asaria will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if needed.
- 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. Asaria can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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.
- 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. For women ages 30-65, a Pap test combined with an HPV test is preferred every 5 years. Dr. Asaria will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. Dr. Asaria can diagnose the cause and discuss treatment options, such as for conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.
- 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 (boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
