What is Gynecology, and where can I find a good one in Forest Hills (Austin Street)?
Gynecology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diseases of the female with an extra focus on the reproductive system. Look no further, because Garden OB/GYN offers the best gynecological services and gynecologists in Forest Hills (Austin Street).
A gynecologist, also referred to as a gynaecologist, is a medical doctor who has extensive training in women’s health, especially reproductive health. Building a relationship with a dedicated gynecologist is important for preventive care and early detection of chronic diseases.
Ideally, you should schedule an annual preventive care exam, known as a well-woman exam. If you have chronic conditions, like polyps or endometriosis, your gynecologist may want to see you more regularly.
There may be times outside of your annual well-woman exam when you need to see one of our gynecologists.
You should also schedule an evaluation at Garden OB/GYN in Forest Hills (Austin Street) if you’re beginning to experience menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
There are a few things you can do to prepare for your gynecology exam at Garden OB/GYN, just to ensure you get the most out of your visit and to help your doctor better understand your health.
