If you have a primary care doctor, you may wonder why you should visit a gynecologist. There are so many benefits to regular gynecological care. Here are some reasons from the experts why you should see an OB-GYN at least once per year:

• Early Detection: Regular visits to the gynecologist will allow your doctor to detect any issues or problems early so that they can be treated before they become serious.
• Birth Control Information: If you are sexually active, your gynecologist can advise you on the most effective birth control methods for you, as well as administer them. With so many available options, it can be helpful to have the wisdom and advice of a medical professional to help you select the right one.
• STD Protection & Testing: Sexually transmitted diseases can be extremely dangerous, but they are also extremely common. Your gynecologist can diagnose, treat, and help you protect against STDs.
• Prenatal Care: If you are expecting, your gynecologist can provide prenatal care, prenatal ultrasound imagining, and advice on nutrition and preparing for your baby.
• Fertility Advising: If you are trying to get pregnant, your gynecologist can advise you on the best practices for conceiving. They can also provide fertility testing and treatments if you are having difficulty becoming pregnant.
