What can I expect during my initial gynecology appointment?
During your first visit to Fort Worth Obstetrics & Gynecology, the team spends time understanding your personal and family medical history and your symptoms. They can also discuss your general physical and mental health.
The team performs a pelvic exam to assess the health of your reproductive organs and vagina. Depending on your age, you might need a Pap smear. This test involves collecting cells from your cervix to identify changes that may increase your risk for cancer.
You can bring up any questions about your physical health, sexual health, and mental health with the team, and they can provide you with resources for birth control and STD prevention.
If you’re experiencing symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or fertility issues, the team may recommend additional diagnostic testing like ultrasounds or blood work. They tailor a treatment plan to your needs and continue to monitor your reproductive health through annual wellness visits.
