Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Solomon:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Solomon, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. Gynecologists specialize in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Solomon 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 to build a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is normal, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Solomon can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. This vaccine helps prevent these potentially serious health issues.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool for assessing fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis.
- 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. Solomon will perform a clinical breast exam and may order imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, as needed.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Solomon provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Solomon can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
