Your first OB/GYN visit: when and what to expect

Some first time visits to the OB/GYN are merely consultative and don’t even require a pelvic exam. As Ohio State OB/GYN Katherine Strafford, MD, explains, it depends entirely on the patient’s concerns or medical needs. Don’t hesitate to make that first time visit—an OB/GYN can help with heavy or irregular menstrual cycles, contraceptive needs, screening or other medical concerns.
