Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Garcia:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Garcia, is 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. Garcia 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 to establish a relationship, discuss healthy habits, and address any questions or concerns. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific problem.
- 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 appointment is typically scheduled around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, establishing your due date, and creating a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is normal, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not. These can be symptoms of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Garcia can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Garcia performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in shorter recovery times.
- 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. Garcia 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, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Garcia will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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. Garcia can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
