Seeing an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) is your opportunity to get any questions or concerns you have about your reproductive health answered and addressed.

If you have any health concerns, or just want more information, it's a good idea to go to your appointment with a list of questions you may want to ask. Specific questions may vary depending on your age, sexual activity, and health history. Some common questions are:

• Do I need any vaccinations?
  
• Am I at high risk for any developing cancers or infections?
  
• How do I reduce the risk of breast cancer or cervical cancer?
  
• How often should I get cancer screenings and breast exams?
  
• How heavy should my menstrual flow be?
  
• What should I expect while going through menopause?
  
• What type of contraception is best for me?
  
• How often should I get tested for an STI?

Video appointments offer you a convenient, affordable way to get care without leaving the house. Video OB/GYN consults can help address several questions and concerns about women’s health, and the health of the female reproductive system, including:

• Questions or concerns about the female reproductive system, including breasts, uterus, vulva, ovaries, and urological symptoms.
  
• Issues or concerns regarding fertility, pregnancy, menstrual health, and contraception.
  
• Issues regarding urinary incontinence.
  
• Questions about sexual health, libido, and sexually transmitted diseases.
  
• Concerns about urinary tract infections (UTIs), and yeast infections.
  

Note that in some cases, your doctor may recommend in-person follow-up care, if appropriate.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women first see an OB/GYN between the ages of 13-15. Many issues and concerns before the age of 13 can be handled by a primary care physician.

A patient's first OB/GYN visit will often cover development. There may be personal questions about puberty, menstrual periods, and sexual activity. Most girls will not need a pap smear or pelvic exam on their first visit unless they are experiencing abnormal pain or bleeding. Often, the OB/GYN conducts a general health exam and an external genital exam.

A general health exam includes:

• Measurement of height
  
• Measurement of weight
  
• Blood pressure check
  

An external genital exam includes:

• An examination of the vulva
  

The external genital exam can help girls learn about pregnancy prevention, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and understand more generally the anatomy of the female reproductive system.
