Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Grisham:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Grisham, 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. Grisham 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial 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.
- 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. Grisham will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, like a mammogram or ultrasound, if needed.
- 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 indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Grisham can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Grisham can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Grisham 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 often result in faster recovery times.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Grisham provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 ages 30-65, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Grisham will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
