- Physical Examination: – A thorough physical examination will be conducted, which may include pelvic and breast exams, blood pressure measurements, and other assessments to evaluate your overall health.
- Pregnancy Confirmation and Assessment (if applicable): – If you suspect you may be pregnant, the OB/GYN may perform a pregnancy test and conduct an initial assessment to confirm the pregnancy and estimate the due date.
- Discussion of Family Planning and Contraception:The OB/GYN will discuss family planning options and contraception methods based on your preferences and medical history.
- Gynecological Health Assessment: – This may include discussions about menstrual health, hormonal imbalances, pelvic pain, and screenings for conditions like cervical cancer, breast cancer, and sexually transmitted infections.
- Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy (if applicable): – For women approaching or going through menopause, the OB/GYN can offer information on managing symptoms and the potential benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy.
