At any stage of life—not just pregnancy—it's important to have an OB/GYN you trust.
Women's healthcare means more than a yearly checkup.
It includes critical screenings and exams, and expertise for sometimes sensitive issues. An OB/GYN is specially trained in women's reproductive health. They can be a valuable addition to your healthcare team, regardless if you are thinking about planning for a family or not.
OB/GYNs provide:
-
Information and advice about birth control options
-
A wide range of routine and in-office procedures, including:
-
Pap smears to test for cervical cancer
-
STI tests
-
Fertility treatments
-
Pelvic ultrasounds to check the pelvic organs and monitor pregnancy
-
Infertility treatments
-
Management of urinary issues, such as urinary tract infections
-
Breast exams, including mammograms and other breast cancer screenings
-
- Preconception health counseling for women considering pregnancy. (40% of women who have a preconception visit find out about a health issue that may affect their fertility or the health of future pregnancy.)
- Specialized expertise in women's health conditions that a primary care physician may not be trained to treat, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and chronic urinary tract infections
