A Few Important Reasons You Must Consult With a Skilled OB-GYN

by Ankit Sharma Women's Clinic
The truth is many women dread an appointment with an OB-GYN. 

For many of them it is an overwhelming experience, to say the least. 

It is not surprising that many women avoid visiting an OB-GYN altogether. 

This surely is not a desirable scenario. 

Honestly, visiting an OB-GYN is vital for women of all ages. 

Here is a rundown on what OB-GYN means. 

OB-GYN stands for an obstetrician-gynecologist, a medical professional who specializes in female reproductive health.

Obstetrics is the branch of medicine that deals with medical care before, during, and after a woman gives birth. 

Gynecology, on the other hand, focuses on the female body and reproductive health. 

If this is clear to you, it must obvious too that all women must consult an OB-GYN on a regular basis. 

Here are a few compelling reasons why you must confer with the best OB-GYN.

For overall physical health check-up

Medical professionals strongly urge women, starting from teen years up, to see their OB-GYN at least once a year. 

A general check-up typically includes:

  • Checking vital signs
  • Determining BMI
  • Palpating inguinal lymph nodes and the abdomen
  • Pelvic examination

According to a leading gynecologist , if something critical is going on in your body, a check up with an OB-GYN can make for all the difference between disaster and good health.

Pregnancy related visits

Keep in mind that a good obstetrician has skills that go beyond labor and delivery management. He or she has good perspective, judgment, and plenty of independent thinking.

It is for this reason, if you are expecting a baby, or planning to have one, you must put in some effort into finding a skilled OBGYN.

If you do get hold of the best OB-GYN, consider yourself lucky.

You can expect the following:

  • Your and your baby’s health is monitored by conducting ultrasounds, measurements, and tests.
  • The doctor will monitor health conditions that could cause problems during pregnancy such as diabetes, high B.P., and any genetic disorders.
  • The doctor will counsel and provide you with confidence to cope with labor and delivery.

Another important role of an OB-GYN

Several research papers have provided interesting insights into the importance of addressing risk factors of patients for Cardio-Vascular Disease (CVD) during the child bearing period. 

Despite the fact that CVD prevention is outside the scope of OB-GYN specialty, an obstetrician or a gynecologist is well-positioned to recognize patients that are at a high risk for cardio vascular disease.

Finding a skilled OBGYN makes sense

The media is replete with stories that promote “normal birth”.

Such campaigns have been going on for too long. True, “normal birth” is okay if everything goes well for the mother and baby.

But statistics have shown that non-medical births have resulted in tragic and unnecessary deaths of women and babies. 

The only thing that is of importance is what type of delivery is the safest for the baby and the mother. Women must have an informed choice, and must not be put under any undue pressure. 

Herein is the importance of getting the services of the best OB-GYN.
