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

During your annual wellness exam, we encourage open communication about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in your breast or pelvic health. No question is too personal or insignificant; your well-being is our priority.

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. Bhupendrakuma Patel so you don't have to suffer in silence.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

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

I'm thinking about getting pregnant. What should I do to prepare?

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step. A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Patel can help discuss lifestyle factors, starting folic acid, reviewing current medications, and considering genetic carrier screening. Dr. Patel is happy to partner with you in optimizing your health for a future pregnancy.

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 and/or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Patel can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

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

Breast self-exams are a way to become familiar with your breasts and what feels normal. Doing them monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. However, they are a supplement to regular clinical exams and mammograms, which are essential for early detection.
