Should I See an OB/GYN?
The best way a woman can protect her health is through preventative care, which includes getting a yearly checkup. During an appointment with an OB/GYN, patients may undergo evaluations to obtain body fluid samples for lab tests that check for specific diseases. The tests you require will be determined by your OB/GYN depending on your age, overall health, and sexual history. Women are always encouraged to see an OB/GYN for pregnancy, prenatal care, menopause, or any reproductive or sexual health needs that concern them.
OB/GYNs commonly treat the following female health concerns:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Bacterial and viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs, also called STDs) and more
- Endometriosis
- Hormonal disorders
- Infertility
- Pelvic pain
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Urinary incontinence
