Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Lopez-Klein:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Lopez-Klein, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Lopez-Klein 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 initial 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 medical issue.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we understand can be concerning. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with daily activities is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Lopez-Klein can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Lopez-Klein performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is proficient in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which may result in a quicker recovery.
- 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 needs immediate evaluation. Dr. Lopez-Klein will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. This vaccination is important to prevent these diseases.
- 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 typically used for medical diagnosis. These images are not a substitute for standard 2D ultrasounds.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Lopez-Klein provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
