Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Hsu:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- Dr. Hsu is an OB/GYN, meaning she specializes in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). She is trained to provide 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 first 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 (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 take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. Dr. Hsu can diagnose the cause and recommend treatment options, which may include addressing conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Hsu 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 can result in a faster recovery.
- 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 a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. While most breast lumps are benign, any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Hsu will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Hsu will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for your needs.
