Gynecology

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is an area of medicine that specializes in the unique health needs of women. The women’s health experts at Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC take a holistic and preventive approach to care and spend the time needed with each patient. 

They talk to them about their health and discuss the steps they can take to maintain or improve their overall wellness and well-being and reduce the risk of chronic disease. 

When do I need gynecology care?

The team at Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC offers gynecology services to women of all ages, including women between the ages of 20-65 and over. 

Your annual exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your overall gynecological and general health and includes health screenings that may find issues before they become more serious health complications. 

The specifics of your annual gynecology exam may depend on your age, gynecological and medical history, and personal health concerns. In general, your yearly gynecology exam includes:

• Assessment of body composition
• Check of blood pressure and heart rate
• Physical exam
