Do I Need an Ob Gyn?

Gynecology is best suited if:
You have any menstrual, pregnancy, fertility or contraception questions or issues. You have any sexual health concerns. Examples include libido, pain or abuse. You are seeking a preventive health exam and age-appropriate screenings.

Do I need an OB or Gyn?

Although ACOG says women do not need a Pap smear until they are 21, they should see a gynecologist early to discuss periods, sexual health, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to this recommendation, if you have any concerns, such as painful periods or symptoms of a UTI, you should see your OB-GYN.

What do I do if I don't have an OB-GYN?

Make an appointment with a doctor, midwife, or nurse for your care during pregnancy. Some people just go to their regular family doctor or obstetrician. Others choose to see a midwife or nurse practitioner who specializes in prenatal care. You can also get prenatal care at some Planned Parenthood health centers.
