    A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Aimee Raup provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

    • Varicose Veins Genital: Preventing the progression of genital varicose veins involves proactive healthcare, including discussing risk factors and management strategies with your doctor during your annual wellness visit.
    • Pap Smear Abnormalities: Detecting abnormalities in a Pap smear allows for early intervention, potentially preventing the development of more serious health problems and complications.
    • Uterine Carcinoma: Preventive measures like maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise may lower your risk of developing uterine cancer, contributing to your overall well-being.
    • Multiple Gestation: Carrying more than one baby (multiple gestation) increases the risk of complications, so early prenatal care is crucial for a healthy pregnancy.
    • HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Many HPV infections clear on their own, but some types can lead to cancer if left untreated; getting screened regularly helps catch and treat these infections early.
    • Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Preventing complications from vaginitis or vaginosis starts with understanding your risk factors and practicing good hygiene; early diagnosis through regular screenings helps manage symptoms effectively.
    • Dysmenorrhea: Dysmenorrhea, or painful periods, can be effectively managed through preventive strategies like over-the-counter pain relievers and regular exercise, reducing long-term discomfort and improving your health.
    • Fallopian Tube Disorders: Understanding your risk factors for fallopian tube disorders, such as previous infections or pelvic inflammatory disease, is a key step in preventing future problems.
    • Amenorrhea: Amenorrhea isn't always normal. Regular visits to your doctor enable early diagnosis of any underlying conditions causing absent periods, enabling treatment and minimizing health risks.
    • Gestational Diabetes: Because gestational diabetes can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, proactive management during pregnancy is crucial for your future health.
    • Ovarian Cancer: Managing ovarian cancer effectively through prompt diagnosis and treatment helps to prevent the spread of the disease and minimizes potential complications.
    • Atrophic Vaginitis: Atrophic vaginitis, characterized by vaginal thinning and inflammation, can be effectively managed with preventive measures and appropriate treatment, so regular wellness exams are key.

    This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

    Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Aimee Raup offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

    • Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: For women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, vaginal prolapse surgery is a surgical option to correct the condition and improve physical well-being.
    • Gonorrhea Screening: Regular gonorrhea screenings are an important part of preventive care for women, helping to identify and treat this infection before it impacts fertility or overall health.
    • Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing: A human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test is a proactive step to detect the presence of HPV, a virus linked to cervical cancer and other health concerns.
    • Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Planning your delivery method, whether vaginal delivery or a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), empowers you to make informed choices for a safe and healthy birth experience.
    • Colpopexy: If you're experiencing symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as pelvic pressure or urinary problems, colpopexy can be a proactive surgical solution to address these issues.
    • Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Regular STI screenings help detect infections early, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing long-term health problems.
    • Salpingectomy: Protecting your future health, a salpingectomy involves the removal of your fallopian tubes, helping prevent ovarian cancer and improving your overall well-being.
    • Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: Taking proactive steps for a healthy pregnancy, a non-stress test allows doctors to check your baby's wellbeing and react to any potential issues.
    • First Trimester Screening: Ensure your baby's well-being with first trimester screening—a combination of tests that check for potential genetic issues and chromosomal abnormalities during the critical early stages of pregnancy.
    • Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Proactively address the physical and emotional changes of menopause through a personalized evaluation and treatment plan.
    • Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Early detection saves lives: Gynecologic cancer screenings are vital preventative measures to identify and treat cancers of the cervix, uterus, and ovaries early on.
    • HIV Screening: Early detection saves lives: routine HIV testing empowers you to manage your health proactively and access effective treatment options if needed.

    Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Obstetrics and Gynecology care with Dr. Aimee Raup:

    What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Aimee Raup?
    Your first visit with Dr. Raup is designed as a collaborative partnership-building session. We will review your detailed health history, discuss your health goals and concerns, and create a personalized plan for future screenings. This is a safe and confidential space to ask any questions you may have.
    How often do I need a Pap smear and HPV test?
    Guidelines for Pap smears and HPV tests vary by age and risk factors, but the goal is early detection of cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Aimee Raup follows the latest evidence-based screening recommendations and will create a personalized schedule for you.
    What kind of topics should I bring up during my annual wellness exam?
    During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss topics like your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in your breast or pelvic health. No question is off-limits; we encourage open communication and proactive discussion about your overall well-being.
    At what age should I start getting mammograms, and how often?
    Recommendations for mammograms generally start at age 40, but can vary based on family history and personal risk factors. Dr. Raup will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.
    When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?
    Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact us. Dr. Raup uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.
    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. Aimee Raup can help with symptom management and long-term health planning.
    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—knowing what's normal for your body. Perform it monthly to recognize any changes like new lumps or skin changes. It's a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Aimee Raup and mammograms.
    What are the common symptoms of menopause I should be aware of?
    Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These are normal but treatable, and Dr. Raup can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.
