We also have a team ready to help with diabetic teaching for residents in the Amherst, NY; Buffalo, NY; and Tonawanda, NY areas.

On top of diabetic teaching, we also provide medical weight loss management to help you reach the weight you desire. We offer screenings for gestational diabetes to ensure you and your baby are not at risk and to help control your diabetes throughout pregnancy. In addition to screening for diabetes, we also perform pap smear exams to help identify any indications of cervical cancer. For more information or to schedule an appointment with us, call today.
Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy
Your vaginal discharge will not change much during pregnancy, so any abnormalities should be talked about with your doctor. The typical clear or white discharge with no strong odor is nothing to be concerned about, and you will have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy. However, if your vaginal discharge is yellow or green you may have an infection, so you should speak to your doctor as soon as you can. Another sign of infection to look out for is abnormal consistencies of your vaginal discharge. A thick and clumpy discharge instead of a more watery and opaque discharge could indicate a yeast infection. When it comes to vaginal discharge, the only other color that can be normal during pregnancy is a slightly pink discharge. Pink discharge is typically seen after having sex or doing a specific type of exercise. You only need to call your provider if it stays pink or if you have heavier bleeding like a period.
