• C-Section: A C-section can be a planned or emergency procedure, and discussing your options with your doctor helps prepare you for different birth scenarios.

• Obstetric Ultrasound: Protecting your baby's well-being starts with an obstetric ultrasound; this simple scan helps detect birth defects, multiple pregnancies, or placental issues early on.

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

During your annual wellness visit, feel free to discuss any concerns regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion about your overall well-being. No question is off-limits; please bring up anything that's on your mind.

Are painful periods normal?

While mild cramping can be normal, severe, debilitating pain is not. It could be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Duvall so you don't have to suffer in silence.

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. Duvall can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.

What is endometriosis and how is it diagnosed?

Endometriosis is a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and potentially impacting fertility. Diagnosis typically involves a detailed history and physical exam, and may be confirmed through minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Duvall is skilled in diagnosing and managing this complex condition.

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. Duvall can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

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 an important factor to consider. It may mean you need to start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Duvall can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.
