College Gynecology Prep

Transitioning into the college years is an exciting time for young women. Our team of caring providers at Moreland OB-GYN can assist college-bound individuals by providing education on reproductive health, emergency and preventative care, emotional well-being, substance use and abuse, and violence in relationships. 

Before heading to college, meet with your doctor to discuss:

• Contraceptive Counseling: Your gynecologist can suggest the best forms of contraception based on your lifestyle and reproductive goals while at college.
• STI Education and Testing: Your doctor can inform you about common STIs, their symptoms and treatments, and how to protect yourself. If necessary, your doctor can administer STI testing or treatment. 
• Menstrual Health: The healthcare provider can address concerns about your period, such as heavy bleeding, extreme cramps, or irregular periods. Your doctor can diagnose these problems and offer treatment options.
• Reproductive Health Screenings: Regular check-ups with a gynecologist can include screenings for reproductive health issues, such as cervical cancer screenings (Pap smears), breast health exams, and pelvic examinations. Early detection and prevention are essential to long-term reproductive health.

Regularly scheduling visits with your gynecologist, especially during college breaks and visits home, is crucial for maintaining optimal health. College life brings new experiences and challenges, and maintaining a consistent connection with your gynecologist ensures ongoing support and guidance through these transitional phases. 

Routine check-ups not only address immediate concerns but also establish a foundation for long-term wellness. Contact Moreland OB-GYN today at 262-544-4411 or request an appointment on our website!
