What kind of topics should I bring up during my annual wellness exam?

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss anything related to your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or any changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; no question is off-limits.

What are uterine fibroids and should I be concerned?

Uterine fibroids are very common, non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They are often asymptomatic, but can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or pain. Dr. Close can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

How do I perform a breast self-exam, and how often should I do it?

The goal of a breast self-exam is breast self-awareness—understanding what's normal for your body. Perform a self-exam monthly to notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is a helpful tool, but it's important to remember it's a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Close and mammograms.

What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth, and may impact fertility. Dr. Close can help with symptom management and long-term health planning.

I'm concerned about STIs. What screenings are available?

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Close can recommend appropriate tests based on your individual situation.

I have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. What does that mean for me?

A family history of breast or ovarian cancer is important. It may mean you need to start screenings earlier and/or consider genetic testing, like for BRCA genes. Dr. Close can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.
