Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should women see an OB-GYN?
- Women should have an annual well-woman exam starting in their late teens or when they become sexually active. Pap smears are recommended every 3 years for women 21–65, or every 5 years when combined with HPV testing. Pregnant women have visits approximately monthly in the first and second trimesters, increasing in frequency as delivery approaches.
- What does an OB-GYN treat beyond pregnancy?
- OB-GYNs provide comprehensive women's health care including contraception counseling, STI screening and treatment, menstrual disorders, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause management, pelvic floor disorders, and gynecologic cancers.
- What is the difference between an OB-GYN and a midwife?
- OB-GYNs are physicians with full surgical training who can handle high-risk pregnancies and perform cesarean sections. Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice nurses who provide care for low-risk pregnancies and deliveries, often with a focus on natural birth. Both can deliver babies; OB-GYNs are required for surgical delivery.
- When should I see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist?
- Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists, also called perinatologists, manage high-risk pregnancies including those involving twins or multiples, advanced maternal age, pre-existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension, fetal anomalies, or prior pregnancy complications.
