Women’s Health & OBGYN
A gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in women’s reproductive health. Obstetricians care for women during their pregnancy and just after the baby is born. They also deliver babies. An ob-gyn is trained to do all of these things. (Source: WebMD)
Finging a OB-GYN you trust
You wouldn’t want to trust just anyone with the most sensitive parts of your body. That’s why you need to think carefully about your choice of an ob-gyn.
Don’t just randomly pull a doctor’s name off your health insurance list. Get a referral from a friend, family member, or your primary care provider. Usually, your primary care provider can manage most screening procedures and will have a good referral resource if a specialist is needed.
As you’re making a decision, consider whether you would prefer a male or female gynecologist. Some women are more comfortable going to a woman because they will have to undress completely during the exam.
Meet with the ob-gyn before making a decision. Ask about his or her medical experience, certification, and attitude about important reproductive issues, like birth control. (Source: WebMD)
