Ladies. How many of you rely on your OB GYN as your primary care physician?

Contributor: Bignuf Bignuf
Do you think they are really qualified to treat your mole, your sore throat, your migraine headache and knee pain? Do you feel you are getting the best general care that way? I know more GYN's who are refusing to treat anything other then "female issues".

What is your thought on all this?

I did for awhile. I saw a nurse practitioner who primarily treated OB issues, but also helped me with other things. Now I realize that wasn't a good idea. I relied on her to treat my migraines, and nothing really helped. I recently found out my migraines are caused from hydrocephalus ("water on the brain"). I don't blame her for not catching it. There's no way she could have known. But I'm a little peeved that I wasn't sent for MRIs when medication wasn't working. She really didn't think it was necessary when I'd ask for one, and being a broke student, I guess I took it as a good thing and left it alone. I really should have looked for a Neurologist, so I guess it's also my fault.

I still see her and I'm very happy with her help for my OB needs. But I don't rely on her as a primary care provider anymore. I realize that not everyone is gonna have a major health issue like I do or an experience like I did though.

No, but I don't really have other health problems to ask about.

No, If I have back problems I go to my primary care. If I have problems down there I go to my OB
