Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Giannotti:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Giannotti, 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. Giannotti provides comprehensive 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 and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- 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.
- 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 your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can sometimes be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Giannotti can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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, determining your due date, and developing a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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 warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Giannotti will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Giannotti will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Giannotti 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 quicker recovery times.
