Considering The Work A Waco OB GYN Does

<

By Eliza Mendoza


When thinking about visiting a Waco OB GYN women need to understand the services that will be available to them. Many times women think that an OB GYN only offers services to women who are pregnant. This is simply not the case as this type of doctor treats many different types of women's health issues.

OB is short for obstetrician. This is the side of the specialty that deals with the pregnancy, delivery and post-pregnancy period of a woman's life. While long ago, delivering babies was primarily a job for women, today there are many men obstetricians. A woman will visit her doctor many times during her pregnancy.

The gynecologist is the specialty also known as GYN. They have the knowledge and training needed to treat the health of the female reproductive organs. Yearly, a woman should visit her GYN to have a pap smear done. The results of the pap smear will help the doctor to determine the state of her female health.

When a woman finds out she is pregnant, hopefully she already has an OB GYN. Since having to make a decision about a doctor can be stressful, having a doctor already chosen will help with her stress level. However, she is likely to have a friend who can offer up suggestions should she need to find a doctor during this time. If having a home birth is important to her, she should ensure that the doctor she chooses agrees.

Connecting with your doctor is important and this is also true with obstetricians. Today, many OB doctors work in practices with several other doctors in their specialty. While this allows the patient to always have a doctor available to them, the patient may discover that their doctor is not available for her delivery. For example, if there are five doctors in a practice, the woman has a 1 in 5 chance that her chosen obstetrician will be with her during delivery.

Going to the gynecologist can be uncomfortable for the woman if for no other reason than it is such an intimate experience and can be quite embarrassing. It is important to remember than both male and female doctors are looking at you from purely a medical standpoint and they will try to make you as comfortable as possible during the examination. It is likely that a male doctor will have a female nurse in the examination room.

The patient will be more comfortable about her upcoming visit if she knows what to expect beforehand. She should expect to answer questions that she might find embarrassing, such as about her sexuality and monthly cycles. The questions are not meant to embarrass her, but the discover any health risks that she might have.

Some women find that they are more comfortable being treated by a woman for women's health issues. It is important to realize that both men and women go through rigorous training in order to become a Waco OB GYN and to learn any sub-specialties in the field. Whether a woman chooses a male or female doctor is simply a matter of her choice.
