Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Childs:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Childs, is 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. Childs provides 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 and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Childs performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, often resulting in quicker recovery times.
- 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. Childs will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Childs will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Childs will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Childs provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not typically used for medical diagnosis. These images are an optional service.
