Chico Doctors

Women should give extra care with their body especially the reproductive system. As a woman, you should know the differences between the two Chico doctors that handle health conditions of the female reproductive system.

If you have problems with your vagina or any of the parts of your reproductive system, it is proper that you consult a gynecologist. Your problems regarding your menstruation can also be addressed by this type of doctor. Some of the diagnostic tests that she can perform are mammogram and pap smears.  Your gynecologist can also perform hysterectomy, tubal ligation, laparoscopy and oophorectomy. She can also confirm that you are pregnant but after doing so, you will be transferred to an obstetrician.

Obstetricians specialize in handling women during their pregnancy. They are also the ones who will assist you in giving birth. They can either perform vaginal or cesarean section delivery. After your delivery, you should still visit your obstetrician for post-natal check-up. In order to monitor the status of your pregnancy, your doctor will perform ultrasounds on a regular basis. It is ideally done during your first trimester and around 12 and 20 weeks of your pregnancy.

You should bear in the mind the differences between these two doctors in Chico so that if you have any concerns, you will be able to consult the correct person.
