A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Bryce Jackson 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:

• Chlamydia Infections: Preventive care includes regular STI testing, which is essential for catching and treating chlamydia before it causes lasting damage to your reproductive system.
• Anogenital Pruritis: Anogenital pruritis, or itching, can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular visits to your OB/GYN for checkups allow for early detection and management.

• Cervical Cancer: Regular Pap smears and HPV tests are crucial for early detection of cervical cancer, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing progression to more serious stages.
• Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Don't wait for symptoms to worsen; proactive management of menopausal changes through regular health visits and open communication with your doctor ensures you receive the best possible care.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means a baby isn't growing as expected in the womb, and early detection through regular prenatal checkups can help prevent serious complications.
• Uterine Fibroids: Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial for early detection of uterine fibroids, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the risk of more invasive treatments later on.
• Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: Early detection and management of pregnancy hemorrhoids can prevent pain, bleeding, and potentially more serious complications, ensuring a smoother pregnancy journey.
• Cervix Carcinoma: Cervical cancer, while serious, is often preventable through regular screenings and practicing safe sex to reduce the risk of HPV infection.
• Placenta Previa: Proper monitoring during pregnancy, including ultrasounds, can reveal placenta previa early, allowing for timely interventions and a healthier pregnancy outcome.
• Twin Pregnancy: Preventive measures, such as healthy lifestyle choices and close medical supervision, significantly reduce the risks associated with twin pregnancies.
• Preeclampsia: By understanding your risk factors and engaging in preventive measures like maintaining a healthy weight and managing chronic conditions, you can lower your chances of developing preeclampsia.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Bryce Jackson offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Tubal Ligation: Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that serves as a permanent and proactive method of birth control.
• Hysteroscopy: As a proactive step for women's health, a hysteroscopy provides a detailed view of your uterine lining, facilitating early diagnosis of conditions that may affect fertility or overall wellness.
• Salpingectomy: Protecting your future health, a salpingectomy involves the removal of your fallopian tubes, helping prevent ovarian cancer and improving your overall well-being.
• Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Planning your delivery method, whether vaginal delivery or a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), empowers you to make informed choices for a safe and healthy birth experience.
• Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation is a procedure designed to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, thereby preventing complications like anemia and improving your daily life.
• Colporrhaphy: To proactively address pelvic floor issues, colporrhaphy strengthens the vaginal walls, reducing the risk of uncomfortable symptoms like organ prolapse and incontinence.

• Laparoscopic Oophorectomy: To proactively manage certain health risks, a laparoscopic oophorectomy involves a small incision to remove ovaries, potentially preventing future ovarian cancer or managing existing conditions.
• C-Section: While aiming for a vaginal delivery, knowing about C-sections as a safe alternative ensures you're equipped to navigate unexpected challenges during labor.
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: This minimally invasive surgery, a laparoscopic hysterectomy, removes the uterus through small incisions, which can be a proactive solution for managing certain types of uterine cancer or precancerous conditions.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Take a proactive step in ensuring a healthy pregnancy with an obstetric ultrasound; it allows early detection of potential problems, enabling timely interventions.

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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns you have 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 of any topic, no matter how personal. Your health is important to us, and we are here to address all your questions and concerns.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact Dr. Bryce Jackson's office. He will utilize tools like ultrasound to evaluate the cyst and determine the best course of action for monitoring or management.

I'm concerned about STIs. What screenings are available?

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Jackson can recommend appropriate tests based on your individual situation.

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. Jackson 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 start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Jackson 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?

The goal of a breast self-exam is to become familiar with what is normal for your breasts. Perform a self-exam monthly to detect any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is a valuable tool for breast self-awareness, but it is not a substitute for clinical exams by Dr. Jackson and mammograms.
