Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Nutis:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Nutis, 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. Nutis 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 about healthy habits and establishing a relationship with the doctor. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- 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. Nutis will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. It's an optional service.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- It's understandable that you're experiencing painful and heavy periods. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that impacts your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Nutis 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. The first prenatal visit is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This initial visit is crucial for confirming the pregnancy, establishing a due date, and creating a personalized plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Nutis provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT risks and benefits, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Nutis performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in faster recovery times.
