What to Expect at Your Routine Gynecologist Visit

At Cobb Women’s Health, we prioritize a comprehensive and personalized approach during routine gynecological visits to ensure the well-being and comfort of our patients.

A routine gynecologist visit typically involves a discussion about your overall health and any concerns or symptoms you might be experiencing. The doctor will ask questions about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, and medical history, including any family history of gynecological issues. This is a good opportunity to address questions about birth control options, or any other health concerns you may have.

The physical exam portion often includes a pelvic exam, where the doctor checks for abnormalities in the reproductive organs, such as the cervix, uterus, and ovaries. A Pap smear may be performed to screen for cervical cancer, and a breast exam might be done to check for lumps or changes. Depending on age and risk factors, other tests, such as a mammogram or blood tests, may be recommended. The visit is generally focused on preventive care, ensuring that everything is in good health and addressing any issues that may arise.

Regular gynecological visits are an essential part of our commitment to your reproductive health and early detection of potential issues, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care tailored to your needs.

At Cobb Women’s Health, we prioritize comprehensive care for our patients, which includes thorough assessments during routine gynecological visits. Our approach often encompasses breast exams as part of our commitment to early detection and prevention of breast-related conditions, such as breast cancer.

Your gynecologist may perform a breast exam during a routine visit, especially if you are due for one. Breast exams are a standard part of gynecological check-ups and help to detect any potential abnormalities, such as lumps or changes in the breast tissue. Your gynecologist will check for signs of breast cancer or other conditions and may also guide you on how to perform self-breast exams at home.

If you have any concerns about your breast health or notice changes in your breasts, it is important to discuss them with your gynecologist during the visit. Based on your age, family history, and risk factors, your gynecologist may recommend additional screenings, such as mammograms, to ensure your breast health is closely monitored.

Your health and peace of mind are our top priorities, and Dr. Nandita Mainthia, MD, FACOG, and Dr. Hitendra Hansalia, MD, FACOG, are dedicated to guiding screenings and preventive measures tailored to your health profile.

At Cobb Women’s Health, our team of dedicated gynecologists specializes in women’s reproductive health, offering expert care for concerns such as irregular periods and other menstrual issues. We understand that irregular periods can manifest in various ways, including changes in cycle length, missed periods, or unusually heavy or light bleeding. These variations can be caused by factors like stress, significant weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.

A gynecologist can help with irregular periods or other menstrual issues. They are trained to evaluate your menstrual cycle and identify any underlying conditions that may be causing irregularities, such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or fibroids. Your gynecologist will work with you to understand your symptoms, provide a thorough examination, and recommend tests or treatments to address the issue.

Depending on the cause of your irregular periods, your gynecologist may suggest various treatment options, including lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, or medications to regulate your cycle. They will ensure that you have a personalized plan to manage and improve your menstrual health, making your experience more comfortable and predictable.

At Cobb Women’s Health, we believe in empowering our patients through education and guidance to manage their menstrual health effectively. We offer advice on tracking menstrual cycles, recognizing patterns, and understanding when changes might necessitate further medical evaluation. Our gynecologists are committed to diagnosing, treating, and managing menstrual irregularities, ensuring that you receive personalized care tailored to your individual needs.

Your gynecologist will likely discuss birth control options during your visit. Birth control is a key part of reproductive health, and your gynecologist will take the time to talk about your current method, assess its effectiveness, and address any concerns or side effects you may be experiencing. They will also discuss any lifestyle factors, health history, or future family planning goals that could influence the choice of birth control.

Your gynecologist will provide you with a range of options to ensure you find the best solution for your needs. Whether you’re interested in hormonal methods, non-hormonal alternatives, or long-term options, your doctor will explain how each method works, its effectiveness, and any potential side effects. The goal is to give you all the information needed to make an informed choice about your reproductive health.
