WHY SEE A GYNECOLOGIST?
Seeing a gynecologist helps us understand our bodies and how we can keep them healthy. Your gynecologist will also help you understand the difference between normal and abnormal changes that happen as we age. Most importantly, maintaining regular appointments will ensure you and your doctor analyze and treat problems as they arise, along with providing guidance on how to prevent problems before they start. Your gynecologist teaches you how to protect yourself during sexual intercourse and can answer any “uncomfortable questions” professionally.
Dr. Jeffrey Lodge is an expert in gynecology and in making patients feel comfortable and safe during their appointments, and he prides himself on the relationships he builds with his patients. Lodge is a board-certified OBGYN and Tennessee women’s health specialist.
