Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Keathley:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Keathley, is a specialist 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. Keathley provides care for women throughout their lives, from adolescence to menopause.
- 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 first visit is often just a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific problem.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Keathley provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provides screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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.
- 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. Keathley can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
- 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 first visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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 every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Keathley will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
