Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Carly Goga:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Goga, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. 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. Goga provides comprehensive 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 gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship, discuss healthy habits, and answer questions. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can sometimes be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Goga can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, a Pap test combined with an HPV test is preferred every 5 years. Dr. Goga will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Goga provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and risks, and performs screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is crucial for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and establishing a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Goga will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for your needs.
- 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 be given to young adults as well. This vaccine helps prevent serious health problems later in life.
