FAQ

Is a Pap smear the same as cervical cancer screening?

A Pap smear is one type of cervical cancer screening, but not the only one. Depending on your age and history, your provider may also test for HPV at the same time, either alongside the Pap or on its own. Your provider will let you know which approach makes sense for you.

What is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions than traditional open surgery, often through laparoscopic or robotic techniques. That usually means less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker return to your normal routine. Not every condition can be treated this way, but many can.

What is considered abnormal uterine bleeding?

Bleeding that's heavier, longer, or more irregular than your normal cycle, or bleeding between periods or after menopause, is generally considered abnormal. There are a lot of possible causes, so it's worth having it checked out rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.

How is a 3D mammogram different from a regular one?

A 3D mammogram takes multiple images of the breast from different angles and compiles them into a single, more detailed picture, compared to the two images captured in a standard 2D mammogram. That extra detail can make it easier to spot something that might otherwise be missed.

How long does menopause last?

Menopause itself is a single point in time, marked by 12 months without a period, but the transition leading up to it can last several years. Symptoms vary a lot from person to person, and your provider can help you manage whichever ones show up.

When should my daughter have her first gynecology visit?

Many providers recommend a first gynecology visit sometime in the early-to-mid teen years, often before it's medically necessary, just to build familiarity and answer questions. It doesn't have to include an exam. Give our office a call if you're not sure when to schedule it.
