Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Davolio:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Davolio, 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. Davolio 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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.
- 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. Davolio can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. Davolio will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Davolio can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Davolio will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Davolio 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 often result in quicker recovery times.
