10 Telehealth Tips for an Ob-Gyn Visit (The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists)

Telehealth, also called telemedicine, allows you to get health care without seeing your ob-gyn in person. You use technology, such as a phone, tablet, or computer, to talk with your ob-gyn. If you use a video call for the visit, you and your ob-gyn will be able to see each other on screen.

You may be able to use telehealth to get help with birth control, menopause symptoms, mental health care, and more. You also may be able to use telehealth for some pregnancy and postpartum care visits, especially while the coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading.
