When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Recommendations for mammograms generally start at age 40, but can vary based on family history and personal risk factors. Dr. Dacha will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

Are painful periods normal?

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