Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Escarzaga:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Escarzaga, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Escarzaga provides care for women throughout their lives, encompassing both specialties.
- 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.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being during a pregnancy. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnosis. These are optional services.
- 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 visit is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Escarzaga performs gynecological surgery, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in quicker recovery times.
- 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 important preventative measure helps protect against these potentially serious health issues.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Escarzaga 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 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. Escarzaga will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
