Women’s Health Abroad: Finding a Gynecologist in Rome

There are many things we take for granted in our home countries, especially when it comes to medical care. When we are abroad, however, things can get a bit more complicated. This can be especially true when it comes to something as sensitive as gynecological care. At home, we have our favorite doctors and medical centers where we know we will be taken care of and where we share a universal language, but who can we trust when we’re out of the country? When you’re looking for English-speaking doctors who have your care at heart, FirstMed is the way to go.

Gynecological Conditions

If you have a preexisting gynecological condition or have begun to experience symptoms that are unfamiliar to you, seeing a gynecologist may be the best course of action. To manage or treat your symptoms, you may need to speak with the doctor to get your prescription refilled or translated, updated or modified, or to perform diagnostic exams to understand more about what is causing your symptoms.

Additionally, if you are or plan on becoming pregnant, you will need a trusted ob/gyn on your care team. They will advise you on any tests you may need to have done, medications or supplements to take, or considerations to make and habit changes to implement.
