Obstetricians and Gynecologists - Blairsville, GA

What is General Obstetrics & Gynecology?

General obstetrician/gynecologists, or general OB/GYNs, are providers of routine care for women's reproductive health. They offer regular checkups and preventative care to detect illnesses early and keep women healthy. A general OB/GYN cares for a variety of health issues, including:

Healthy pregnancies
Contraception
Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Sexually transmitted diseases
Menopause
PAP smears
Annual breast exams

After the age of 18, it is important to see a general OB/GYN regularly for preventative care as well as any needed pregnancy care. When necessary, general OB/GYNs may refer their patients to related specialists such as a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist or Reproductive Endocrinologist. However, women without complicated health issues may continue to see their general OB/GYN for care throughout their reproductive life.
