Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Bost:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Bost, is a medical doctor specializing in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They provide 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 visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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.
- 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 could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Bost can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Bost 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. Bost will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Bost performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in quicker recovery times.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Bost provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. This includes discussing the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
