Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Boreham:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Boreham, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Boreham 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 visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and establishing a relationship, and a pelvic exam is typically not needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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. Boreham can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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 of the baby, but are not used for medical diagnoses and are considered an optional service for keepsake purposes.
- 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.
- 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. Boreham 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. Boreham 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.
