Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Kara Conti

Yes, you can still attend an appointment with your obgyn while on your period. Most gynecology visits, including consultations and discussions about symptoms or ongoing conditions, can be completed without issue. Certain gynecology exams may be adjusted or rescheduled if needed, but your provider will guide you. Our clinic prioritizes respectful, patient-centered care, ensuring patients feel comfortable and supported during every visit. If you have questions beforehand, our office is happy to share additional information.
In some cases, an obgyn can serve as a primary point of care, especially for women who rely on their gynecologist for routine preventive visits and ongoing health needs. OB-GYNs are trained in both obstetrics and gynecology, allowing them to address many general and reproductive concerns. However, some patients may still choose a separate primary care provider for non-gynecological medical issues. Our team helps coordinate care to ensure continuity and comprehensive support.
