• Dysmenorrhea: Addressing dysmenorrhea early can prevent it from impacting your daily life, relationships, and overall health; proactive healthcare and lifestyle adjustments are key to managing this common condition.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often causing severe complications if not detected and treated early, highlighting the importance of regular prenatal care.

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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns you have, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic you'd like to address. No question is off-limits.

Are painful periods normal?

While some mild cramping is normal, severe or debilitating pain during your period is not. This could be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Colbert to discuss your concerns and find relief.

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

Breast self-awareness is key—getting to know what's normal for your breasts. A monthly self-exam can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to regular clinical exams by Dr. Colbert and mammograms.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, often characterized by irregular periods and initial symptoms. Menopause is the point when periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months. Dr. Colbert provides guidance and support through both stages.

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 Dr. Colbert's office. She will use tools like ultrasound to evaluate the cyst and determine the best course of action.

What are my options for birth control?

Dr. Colbert offers many safe and effective birth control options, including hormonal methods like pills and IUDs, and non-hormonal options. The best choice is a personal one, and Dr. Colbert will discuss your lifestyle, health history, and preferences to find the perfect fit for you.
