Obstetrics is a science that focuses on the treatment and surgical care of women during pregnancy. This includes prenatal and post-natal care, providing fertility treatments, and delivering babies. On the other hand, gynecology is a specialty that focuses on women's reproductive health and the diseases associated with it. An obstetrician-gynecologist is a doctor of medicine (M.D.) who encompasses both specialties and provides primary and preventive care for women. OB-GYNs offer comprehensive care from the time of pregnancy until after delivery and also make referrals to other healthcare professionals if necessary.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) suggests that young girls should schedule their first visit with a gynecologist or OB-GYN between the ages of 13 and 15. Some reasons why such visits may be necessary could be:
Having a trusted OB-GYN from a young age can help adolescents and teens build a strong relationship with their doctor. Often, preteens and teenagers do not feel comfortable asking adults and caregivers personal questions regarding concerns like periods, sex, and birth control. This hesitance can lead to scouring the internet for answers, gathering misinformation, and undertaking practices that may be potentially harmful. Visits to an OB-GYN can be helpful in this case as they can provide accurate answers and correct any misconceptions parents or children may have. If you need help finding an in-network provider, check Zocdoc's list of providers. You can directly search for Aetna OB-GYNs near you on Zocdoc.

A 2017 Kaiser Women's Health Survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that compared to men, women are more likely to take prescription medication and utilize more health services. Due to the cost, they are more likely to have problems paying off their medical bills or forgoing needed health care. Even though the uninsured rate has declined significantly over the past decade, approximately 9.5 million women remain uninsured, with rates highest in states that have not expanded Medicaid eligibility. In Texas, nearly three in ten women are low-income, an estimated one in five are uninsured, and the state has not expanded Medicaid (as of December 2023) as most other states in the U.S. have.
KFF's 2022 analysis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) shows that nearly 17% of women (aged 18 and above) in Texas did not see a doctor in the past year. Roughly 18% did not have a doctor. In 2021, nearly 35% of all births were cesarean. Almost 70% of women between 18 and 64 years reported having a pap smear in the past three years. The cervical cancer incidence rate in Texas (per 100,000 women) was close to 9.5 in 2019. The incidence rate of women (ages 13 and over) living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Texas was almost 171.8 in 2021.
