    Frequently Asked Questions

    What common puberty-related issues do you treat?

    Dr. Ojha treats a range of issues that include irregular or painful periods, delayed or early puberty, and common skin changes like acne. We also provide support for emotional and psychological changes that can accompany puberty, offering a safe space for discussions about self-esteem and peer pressure.

    How can I help my daughter prepare for puberty?

    Preparing your daughter for puberty involves having an open, honest conversation about the changes that she will experience in her body and emotions. Dr. Ojha can provide resources and guidance to help you communicate effectively with your daughter and ensure she feels supported and informed.

    At what age should adolescents start visiting a gynecologist?

    Dr. Ojha recommends that adolescents start visiting a gynecologist between the ages of 13 and 15. Early visits are typically more about education and establishing a comfortable relationship with the healthcare provider rather than conducting invasive exams.

    What should we expect during our first visit?

    The first visit is usually an opportunity for the adolescent to meet Dr. Ojha and discuss any concerns they might have about puberty or their health in general. Physical examinations are conducted concerning the patient's comfort and privacy, and parents can be involved in the consultation to the extent that their child is comfortable.

    How does the HPV vaccine work, and why is it recommended?

    The HPV vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus, which can lead to cervical cancer, other cancers, and genital warts later in life. The vaccine is most effective when given before individuals become sexually active, which is why it is recommended for adolescents. The vaccine is administered in a series of shots over several months.
