Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Reddi-Dickason:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Reddi-Dickason, is a specialist trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Reddi-Dickason 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, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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. Reddi-Dickason will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Reddi-Dickason can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 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 detailed, photo-like images, but is not used for medical diagnoses. It is an optional service for creating keepsakes.
- 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 for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Reddi-Dickason performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is proficient in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a quicker recovery.
