What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Camil Marrero?

Your first visit with Dr. Marrero is designed as a collaborative partnership-building session. We'll review your detailed health history, discuss your health goals and concerns, and create a personalized plan for future screenings. It's a safe and confidential space to ask any questions you may have.

Guidelines for Pap smears and HPV tests vary by age and risk factors, but the goal is early detection of cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Marrero follows the latest evidence-based screening recommendations and will create a personalized schedule for you.

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

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

Breast self-exams are a way to become familiar with your breasts and what feels normal. Doing a self-exam monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. This is important, but it's not a substitute for regular clinical exams and mammograms with Dr. Marrero.

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 important. It may mean you need to start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Marrero can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

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. Marrero can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

Does Dr. Camil Marrero manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Marrero's practice manages high-risk pregnancies, including those with advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, or pre-existing health conditions. We work closely with Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists to ensure the highest quality coordinated care for these pregnancies.

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

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