Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Matthews:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Matthews, 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. Matthews 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 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.
- 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 around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Matthews will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Matthews provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide 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 (boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
- 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. Matthews will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Matthews 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 can result in a quicker recovery.
