Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Nguyen:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Nguyen, 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. Nguyen 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first 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.
- 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 impacts your daily life is not normal and warrants a consultation. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Nguyen can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Nguyen provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy 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 ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Nguyen will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Nguyen performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a quicker recovery.
- 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. Nguyen can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. Nguyen will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
