Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Nash:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Nash, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. Gynecologists specialize in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Nash 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 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. Nash will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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, 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. Nash can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Nash performs a variety 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 quicker recovery times.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Nash provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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, primarily for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnosis.
