Carlos Salomon is an obstetrician-gynecologist based in Herston, QLD 4006. He works in women’s health, with a focus on pregnancy care and conditions that can affect both the mother and the baby.
In pregnancy, Carlos looks after people when things are more complex than usual. That can include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and high blood pressure. He also helps manage issues linked to the placenta, like placental insufficiency and intrauterine growth restriction, where babies may not grow the way they should. At times, care may also involve concerns around cerebral hypoxia and other situations that need careful monitoring.
There’s also a strong gynaecology side to his work. He treats a range of conditions including ovarian cancer and breast cancer. When needed, he can arrange and perform tissue biopsy, so results can guide the next step in treatment and follow-up. He also helps with longer-term health concerns like metabolic syndrome, obesity, and hypertension, which can show up in pregnancy and beyond.
Carlos is familiar with less common conditions too. In some cases, patients may present with apparent mineralocorticoid excess or high molecular weight kininogen deficiency. He understands that these situations can feel confusing and stressful, especially when they’re discovered during pregnancy or while looking into other symptoms.
He also manages health matters that can connect to the body in different ways. Periodontitis, for example, can affect overall health, and it’s one of those areas that sometimes gets overlooked until it’s addressed. Metabolic and cardiovascular risks, including hypertension and obesity, can also be part of the overall picture and are handled with a practical, careful approach.
Because women’s health covers so many different needs, appointments can look different from person to person. Carlos aims to keep care grounded and clear, with a plan that makes sense for what’s going on now, and what might come next. His role brings together obstetrics and gynaecology so patients can be supported through important changes, treatments, and follow-up.
