A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. B Grabois 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:

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Understanding your risk factors for UTIs, like improper wiping techniques or holding your urine, empowers you to take proactive steps to avoid future infections.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Preventive care, including routine pelvic exams, is essential for detecting non-inflammatory cervical conditions early, which often leads to better treatment outcomes and avoids serious consequences.
• Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Regular checkups during a healthy pregnancy help identify potential problems early, allowing for timely intervention and a safer delivery.
• Gynecologic Disorders: Regular OB/GYN checkups are crucial for early detection of gynecologic disorders, allowing for timely treatment and preventing serious complications.
• Chronic Vaginitis: Chronic vaginitis, if left unmanaged, can lead to further health problems. Regular checkups with your OB/GYN allow for early identification and treatment, ensuring better long-term outcomes.
• Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is a dangerous pregnancy complication, best prevented through regular checkups and careful monitoring of blood pressure to catch it early and avoid serious problems for you and your baby.
• Menstrual Disorders: Irregular or painful periods can signal underlying health issues, so early detection through regular checkups with your OB/GYN helps prevent complications and ensures timely treatment.
• Mastodynia: Preventive measures for mastodynia include understanding potential risk factors, practicing self-care, and seeking medical attention for persistent or severe breast pain, which can prevent more serious conditions from developing.
• Cervical Incompetence: Managing cervical incompetence proactively helps prevent serious complications for both mother and baby, such as premature birth and low birth weight, highlighting the importance of regular OB/GYN visits.
• Uterine Cancer: Preventative care, including discussions with your OB/GYN about your individual risk factors, helps ensure timely detection and effective management of uterine cancer, preserving your health and well-being.
• Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, and early diagnosis through regular checkups can help prevent painful symptoms and potential fertility issues.
• Atrophic Vaginitis: Atrophic vaginitis, a thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls, is often a consequence of declining estrogen levels, and early detection through regular checkups can prevent discomfort and potential complications.

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

Bring up any concerns about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, birth control, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breasts or pelvic area. We encourage open communication, and no question is too small or insignificant. Your annual wellness exam is a great time to discuss your overall health and well-being.

Dr. Grabois 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. Grabois will discuss your lifestyle, health history, and preferences to find the perfect fit for you.

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