As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Diagne offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Maternal Anemia: Maternal anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells during pregnancy, potentially causing fatigue and complications. OB/GYNs regularly check for this and provide treatment plans, often involving iron supplements and dietary changes.
- Gestational Diabetes: Your OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related complication of high blood sugar, to help ensure a healthy outcome for you and your baby.
- Breast Cancer: Although specialized oncologists treat breast cancer, your OB/GYN plays a vital role in early detection through regular breast exams and mammogram recommendations.
- Female Infertility due to Ovulatory Disorder: Ovulatory disorders disrupt egg release, making conception difficult; your OB/GYN can assess your cycle, suggest lifestyle changes, or prescribe medication to improve your chances of getting pregnant.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: OB/GYNs treat tubo-ovarian abscesses, which are infections in the fallopian tubes and ovaries causing pain and fever, often requiring antibiotics or surgical drainage.
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy involves nine months of growth and development inside the womb, with OB/GYNs providing expert medical guidance and support.
- 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.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Your OB/GYN is a great resource for understanding and managing the physical and emotional changes associated with menopause and the years that follow.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) causing sores or blisters on the genitals, and OB/GYNs provide diagnosis, treatment, and management of this condition.
- Infertility: Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after one year of trying, and OB/GYNs provide testing and treatment options to help couples conceive.
- Symptomatic Menopause: When menopause causes noticeable symptoms like hot flashes or mood swings, it's called symptomatic menopause, and an OB/GYN can offer various treatment options to relieve discomfort.
- Cervical Cancer: Abnormal cervical cells can lead to cervical cancer, a serious condition that OB/GYNs manage through regular checkups, advanced screenings, and treatment plans.
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. Diagne offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing: A simple sample is taken to detect HPV DNA; results help guide medical decisions, such as whether further testing is needed.
- Endocervical Curettage: An endocervical curettage (ECC) is a procedure where a doctor gently scrapes cells from the cervix's inner lining to test for abnormalities or infections.
- Minimally Invasive Cystocele and Rectocele Repair: Minimally invasive techniques are used to repair weakened pelvic floor muscles causing the bladder (cystocele) or rectum (rectocele) to bulge into the vagina, restoring support and function.
- Pelvic Floor Repair: Pelvic floor repair surgery strengthens weakened pelvic muscles that can cause urinary or bowel problems.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: This procedure involves a doctor inserting a small device into your uterus for long-term birth control, offering a safe and convenient option.
- Myomectomy: Myomectomy is a surgery to take out fibroids (benign tumors) in the uterus, often relieving symptoms and preserving fertility.
- Birth Control: Birth control can help regulate periods and reduce menstrual symptoms.
- 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.
- Incontinence Sling Procedure: An incontinence sling procedure is surgery to repair weakened pelvic floor muscles that cause urinary incontinence (leakage).
- 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.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery that removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to the end of menstruation and a reduction in certain cancer risks.
- Hysteroscopy: Hysteroscopy is a procedure where a thin, lighted scope is inserted into the uterus to examine the lining and check for problems like fibroids or polyps.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Diagne:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Diagne, is a physician 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. Diagne provides comprehensive 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.
- 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. Diagne will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Diagne provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT risks and benefits, and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants evaluation. Dr. Diagne can diagnose the cause, which could be treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and offer solutions tailored to your needs.
- 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. Diagne will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if needed.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Diagne performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a faster recovery.
