Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Wilson:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Wilson, is a physician 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. Wilson 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 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. Wilson will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Wilson performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, often resulting in quicker recovery times.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Wilson will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Wilson provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. This includes discussing the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 for keepsake purposes but aren't used for medical diagnoses. These are optional services.
- 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. Wilson can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
