What is involved in gynecology?

Gynecology deals with the health and well-being of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. At Georgia OB/GYN, the medical professionals diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions, provide preventive care, and offer reproductive health guidance.

What are the common reasons to visit a gynecologist?

Women should see a gynecologist regularly for routine well-woman exams that include Pap smears and a pelvic exam. You might also seek gynecology services for questions about menstruation and pelvic pain and when you have concerns about birth control, menopause, or your overall sexual health.

The team at Georgia OB/GYN also diagnoses and helps you manage symptoms associated with menopause and various gynecological conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

What types of symptoms suggest I should schedule a gynecology appointment?

Schedule an appointment if you experience:

• Irregular or heavy periods
• Persistent pelvic pain
• Unusual discharge
• Feelings of fullness or heaviness in the pelvic region
• Pain or burning while urinating

If you notice itching, dryness, or visible warts on your genitals, you should also schedule an immediate gynecology appointment.

What are women’s wellness exams?

Most women benefit from scheduling an annual wellness exam as part of their regular gynecological care. During a women’s wellness exam, you undergo a comprehensive physical examination, as well as breast and pelvic exams. You’ll also discuss your overall sexual and reproductive health. 

What is a Pap smear?

A Pap smear is a screening test to detect cervical cancer or precancerous changes in the cervix. How often you need a Pap smear depends on your age and health history. Most women should start having them at age 21 and continue as recommended by the team at Georgia OB/GYN.

If your Pap smear results come back as “abnormal,” it is not a diagnosis of cancer. It simply means that you may need additional testing to determine the reason for the irregularities detected in your cervical cells. In many cases, the issue resolves on its own with no treatment needed.
