IF
you’re a woman, seeing an
obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN)
regularly makes good sense—no
matter what your stage of life.
OB-GYNs are doctors who
specialize in the healthcare needs of
women. They focus on reproductive
health, pregnancy and childbirth. But
OB-GYNs may also do breast exams;
diagnose and treat disorders of the
genital, urinary and rectal organs; and
provide general health counseling. In
short, they play an important role in
keeping women of all ages healthy.
The medical staff at Stanly Re-
gional Medical Center recommends
that girls have their first gynecologic
visit between ages 13 and 15. If
