OB/GYN Q&A

What is OB/GYN care?

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) is the area of medical practice focused on addressing women’s health needs. The female body goes through numerous changes over time. When you work with an OB/GYN specialist, you can count on maintaining optimal health. 

Gynecology care involves screenings, preventive health care, and treatment of conditions affecting a woman’s reproductive health. All women need gynecology services, beginning during late adolescence and continuing through menopause and beyond. 

Obstetrics centers on assisting a woman as she navigates pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. While all OB/GYN specialists receive advanced training in both gynecology and obstetrics, not all choose to focus on both areas within their practice like Dr. Bickman does.  

Why is it so important to find a great OB/GYN?

Far too many women set their own health needs aside as they focus on obligations of career, family, and community. Working with a wonderful OB/GYN like Dr. Bickman is an essential health need, allowing you to receive the necessary screenings at each stage of life. 

Your OB/GYN can address a wide range of needs and concerns, including:

  • Pelvic pain
  • Birth control
  • Abnormal bleeding
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Endometriosis
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Infertility
  • Pregnancy care
  • Menopause
  • Sexual health
  • Pelvic organ prolapse

When you know where to turn as your women’s health needs arise, you can get the trusted care you deserve.

What should I look for when selecting an OB/GYN?

As you search for your OB/GYN, schedule an initial consultation to discuss your unique set of needs. Ask about the provider’s approach to women’s health in general and any specific areas of concern you may have. Don’t make a decision until you feel comfortable with your practitioner of choice.

Look for an OB/GYN who takes the time to get to know you. When symptoms arise, you should be able to rely on a provider you have confidence in and someone who puts you at ease. Open, honest communication is key to top-quality women’s health care, so look for an OB/GYN with outstanding communication skills.
