Question 1

i'm looking for a gynecologist?

Accepted Answer

Should check online: Years ago, listings used to be available only in printed form. By the turn of the century, lists had become available online everywhere. Now, some lists are only online, and no longer printed. County medical societies (or other local medical societies), hospitals, and insurance companies usually list doctors by name, specialty, and location. The better websites have "find a doctor" pages.

Question 2

i am looking for a gynecologist in pietermaritzburg?

Accepted Answer

Should check online: Years ago, listings used to be available only in printed form. By the turn of the century, lists had become available online everywhere. Now, some lists are only online, and no longer printed. County medical societies (or other local medical societies), hospitals, and insurance companies usually list doctors by name, specialty, and location. Look under Gynecology or Obstetrics-Gynecology.

Question 3

are obstetricians also gynecologists?

Accepted Answer

Some are some aren't: Typically training in either of these fields after medical school includes both obstetrics and gynecology. Most doctors then go on to practice both, at least for some time. However after training some individuals specialize and therefore do just one or the other. In addition specialization may lead to a further defined and limited practice also known as sub-specialization.

Question 4

can a gynecologist tell if you had sex?

Accepted Answer

Signs of sexual life: If your hymen is gone or torn then the gynecologist may assume.  But, this can also happen with inserting tampons for your menstrual period.

Your gynecologist will only care that you are sexually active to the point of teaching you how to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Doctors are like priests. We have a solemn commitment to confidentiality and not being judgmental.

Question 5

could every gynecologist help with labor?

Accepted Answer

No: Every Board Certified Gynecologist in the USA was initially trained as an Ob/Gyn (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) and knows how to deliver a baby.  Recent experience is best but those skills are not quickly forgotten.  Some Ob/Gyns choose to focus on Gynecology and don't carry malpractice insurance to deliver babies.   Without insurance, they can't help with labor except in dire emergencies.

Question 6

can a gynecologist tell me when i ovulate?

Accepted Answer

14 days before bleed: Ovulation is usually 14 days before the onset of the next anticipated period. If your cycle is 28 days it is day 14. If the cycle is 30 days it is day16 and so forth.

Question 7

why does the speculum at the gynecologist hurt?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal speculum: Whether your gyn is a female or a male, the doctor may not be putting enough lubricant on the speculum, and/or is "being rushed" instead of being careful when inserting the speculum.  You have an absolute right to state your discomfort, and ask for a more gentle approach.  If you get a bad reaction, change your doctor.

Question 8

when should i go for my first gynecologist visit?

Accepted Answer

Soon: Begin a conversation soon with a knowledgeable clinician who cares for teen girls (Adolescent Medicine doctor, Pediatrician, Family Medicine doctor, Gyn Nurse Practitioner or Gynecologist.)in order to express concerns and questions and receive reliable medical information, learn what to expect, what is normal sexual emotional  reproductive health,safe sexuality,healthy habits, pregnancy-STI  risks

Question 9

what to expect for first visit to the gynecologist?

Accepted Answer

Sure: A first visit is focused on different issues depending on your age group. A complete history is taken. A complete exam is done. Pelvic exam includes visualizing the exterior of your private area. Then a small speculum is inserted to do your PAP smear and HPV test. This is followed by inserting 2 fingers in your vagina to feel your uterus and tubes and ovaries. This is followed by a rectal exam.

Question 10

should a 17 year old virgin go to the gynecologist?

Accepted Answer

Not Necessarily: Unless there are specific issues that need to be addressed by a gynecologist, it is reasonable to seek routine care through your pediatrician or family doctor. That doctor can refer you for appropriate care if necessary.  Some pediatric practices specialize in young women in this age group and may be able to address all of her health needs in one setting.
