Making regular doctor appointments is important. You should see a primary care doctor annually but seeing a doctor specifically dealing in women’s care is just as important. Women have particular health needs that require doctors who specialize in them. If you are looking for Buffalo GYN doctors that you can trust with your health, please call our office to set up an appointment.
Gynecological Care
Patients should start seeing a gynecologist in their mid-late teenage years. They likely will not require a pelvic exam until they are sexually active unless there is a pressing need to, such as abnormal bleeding, discharge, or pain. The first appointment with a gynecologist for a young girl is mostly to establish a relationship with their provider, so she feels comfortable with this care.
Our Buffalo GYN providers create a welcome and confidential environment for patients to be able to share necessary private information with our providers so that they can receive proper and sufficient care.
Once a woman becomes sexually active, she should anticipate visiting her gynecologist annually. Some women will need to be seen more often for abnormalities or conditions that require specialized care.
We can see women who are struggling to become pregnant. We can help patients who are dealing with cancer of the reproductive system. We can diagnose issues with reproductive organs, such as PCOS, fibroids, PMDD, and more.
Procedures and Testing
We offer a wide range of procedures and testing for women from their teenage years and past menopause.
Women can come in for routine testing as well as specially ordered testing. We can do fertility testing, pregnancy testing, and chromosomal testing for developing fetuses.
Once a woman turns 21, we start Pap smear testing for abnormalities in the cervix. Pap smears done regularly can detect early signs of cancer.
We also perform STI testing to check for all commonly spread STIs. This should be done whenever you become sexually active with a new partner or if you have had unprotected sex.
Furthermore, we can do cancer screenings not just for cervical cancer but also for breast cancer. Adult women will be recommended to receive annual breast exams to check for abnormalities. Once women reach the age of 40, they should start to get annual mammograms.
