Care You Can’t Do Without

Your Geisinger gynecologist should be one of the most important people in your life. Gynecology, or GYN as it is sometimes called, is health care for all of a woman’s female health needs, from menstruation to menopause.

Many gynecologists also practice obstetrics, which involves caring for your reproductive/childbirth needs. Some specialize only in gynecology. All are highly experienced, fellowship-trained physicians who understand the health needs women experience through life, including menopause.

A Word About STDs

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are on the rise among people of all ages. For younger women, these diseases can create fertility (problems having a baby) or lifelong conditions like herpes.

You may not know you have one of these contagious diseases without a routine gynecologic exam. You owe it to yourself and your partner or future partners to find out. It’s all part of good GYN health. And your Geisinger gynecologist is someone you can trust to care for your needs.
