Gynecology Services in Miami, FL
Comprehensive gynecologic care is the foundation of every woman's health. Dr. Sidiq Aldabbagh provides expert, compassionate gynecology services for women of all ages at two Miami locations — from adolescent gynecology through menopause and beyond.
Annual Well-Woman Exam
Your annual visit is the cornerstone of preventive women's health. Dr. Aldabbagh conducts a thorough review of your health history, physical examination, pelvic exam, breast exam, and orders appropriate laboratory tests. This is also the ideal time to discuss any concerns about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, or gynecologic symptoms.
Pap Smear & Cervical Cancer Screening
Cervical cancer screening guidelines recommend Pap smears beginning at age 21, continuing every 3 years through age 65 (or every 5 years with HPV co-testing after age 30). Dr. Aldabbagh follows current ACOG guidelines and will explain your results clearly. Abnormal results are managed with colposcopy when indicated.
STI Screening & Sexual Health
Routine STI screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B/C is offered as part of annual care or any time you have concerns. Dr. Aldabbagh provides non-judgmental, confidential sexual health counseling and treatment.
Colposcopy & Cervical Procedures
When Pap smear or HPV test results are abnormal, colposcopy allows close examination of the cervix to identify areas of concern. LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) and cervical biopsies are performed in-office when needed to treat or diagnose abnormal cervical cells.
Gynecologic Ultrasound
Transvaginal and abdominal pelvic ultrasound allows visualization of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvis to evaluate fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic pain, or abnormal uterine bleeding. Results are reviewed with you at the same visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
ACOG recommends a first gynecologic visit between ages 13 and 15, primarily for education and counseling. Pelvic exams and Pap smears typically begin at age 21, or earlier if there are specific concerns.
Current guidelines recommend: ages 21–29 — Pap smear every 3 years. Ages 30–65 — Pap smear plus HPV test every 5 years (or Pap alone every 3 years). Dr. Aldabbagh will advise based on your individual history.
A pelvic exam involves visual inspection of the external genitalia, speculum examination of the vagina and cervix (during which a Pap smear is collected), and a bimanual examination to assess the uterus and ovaries. The exam takes a few minutes and is typically not painful.
