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

During your annual wellness exam, please feel free to discuss any concerns, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, or 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.

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

The goal of a breast self-exam is to become familiar with how your breasts normally feel. Do a self-exam monthly to notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical breast exams and mammograms.

At what age should I start getting mammograms, and how often?

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. Lysy 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 a significant concern, and we understand your question. It may mean you need to begin screenings earlier than average or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Lysy can help assess your individual risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

What are the common symptoms of menopause I should be aware of?

Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These are normal but treatable, and Dr. Lysy can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.
