Gynecology Q & A

Why do I need to see a gynecologist?

Your gynecologist acts as your partner in health, offering a broad array of women’s health and sexual health services. The services range from cancer screenings to treatment for vaginal and uterine conditions.

At Greensboro OB-GYN Associates, your gynecologist protects your reproductive health and overall wellness with annual checkups. A gynecologist can diagnose and treat conditions that a primary care doctor might not have the expertise to care for, which is why it’s important to schedule a yearly visit.

What services does a gynecologist offer?

Your gynecologist at Greensboro OB-GYN Associates offers services for each stage of your life, whether you’re trying to prevent a pregnancy with birth control or seeking treatment for an abnormal Pap smear.

The gynecological services for women include:

Onsite 2D and 3D screening mammograms
Colposcopy and LEEP procedures
HPV vaccinations (GARDASIL®)
Endometrial ablation to treat heavy periods
Preconception counseling
Treatment of PMS and menstrual disorders
Menopausal care
Infertility assessments
Treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
In-office testing for sexually transmitted diseases

Your gynecologist can also help you select the right contraceptive method, including long-acting reversible birth control options, such as an IUD or the Nexplanon® implant. To keep you healthy now, and in the future, your gynecologist at Greensboro OB-GYN Associates also performs annual well-woman exams.

What happens during a well-woman exam?

Much of the focus of a well-woman exam is on preventive care. Your Greensboro OB-GYN Associates gynecologist starts by taking a complete history. You’ll be asked questions about your overall health, such as:

Your eating and exercise habits
Whether you drink, use drugs, or smoke
Your sexual health and sexual partners
Whether you’re taking any medications, vitamins, minerals, or herbs
Your mental health history, including anxiety, stress, or depression

Next, you’ll have a physical exam. Your gynecologist may ask you to undress from the waist down or to remove all of your clothes. You’ll be offered a gown to wear. Then, your gynecologist typically performs a:

Pap smear: A screening test to look for early signs of cervical cancer
Breast exam: To look for unusual changes in your breasts and under your arms
Pelvic exam: To feel for physical changes in the vagina and pelvic region

If you need a mammogram, Greensboro OB-GYN Associates provides both 2D and 3D mammogram services on-site in a comfortable setting. Call today or book a consultation online.
