As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Sherman offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Gestational Diabetes: During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes, a temporary condition where their bodies don't use insulin effectively; your OB/GYN can provide care and guidance to manage this.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Extreme nausea and vomiting throughout pregnancy, known as hyperemesis gravidarum, can be treated by your OB/GYN to ensure both your and your baby's health.
- Low Back Pain During Pregnancy: Many pregnant women experience low back pain; your OB/GYN can provide treatment options and strategies to alleviate this pain.
- Uterine Cancer: OB/GYNs are key in detecting and managing uterine cancer, a type of cancer affecting the womb, through screenings, treatments like surgery and chemotherapy, and monitoring.
- Uterine Fibroids: These benign tumors in the uterus, called fibroids, can lead to problems with periods and fertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage them.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): STDs are infections passed between people during sexual activity; your OB/GYN can screen for them, provide treatment if needed, and discuss ways to prevent them.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a condition marked by rapid onset vaginal inflammation; your OB/GYN will determine the underlying cause (like infection) and recommend appropriate care.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Lower estrogen levels can cause atrophic vaginitis, leading to discomfort and changes in the vagina; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
- 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.
- Pregnancy-Related Disorders: From gestational diabetes to preeclampsia, pregnancy-related disorders can impact the health of the mother and child; your OB/GYN will monitor and manage these complications.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Fallopian tube disorders affect the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat issues like blockages or infections that may impact fertility or cause pain.
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. Sherman:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Sherman, combines both specialties. 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. Sherman 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship, discuss healthy habits, and address any questions or concerns. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific problem.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Sherman performs a variety 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 quicker recovery.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- 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. Dr. Sherman can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Sherman will perform a clinical breast exam and may order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, as needed.
- 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 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 (HPV), 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 also be given to young adults.
- 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. Sherman will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
