Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Obstetrics and Gynecology care with Dr. Celina Poy-Wing:

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Celina Poy-Wing?

Your first visit with Dr. Poy-Wing is a collaborative partnership-building session. We will review your detailed health history, discuss your health goals and concerns, and create a personalized plan for future screenings. This is a safe and confidential space to ask any questions you may have.

How often do I need a Pap smear and HPV test?

Guidelines for Pap smears and HPV tests vary based on age and risk factors, but the goal is early detection of cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Poy-Wing 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, or any changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; 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, recognizing what's normal for you. Doing them monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. They're a helpful tool, but aren't a replacement for regular clinical exams by Dr. Poy-Wing and mammograms.

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. Celina Poy-Wing so you don't have to suffer in silence.

What are the common symptoms of menopause I should be aware of?

Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These are normal, but treatable, and Dr. Poy-Wing can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, often characterized by irregular periods and early symptoms. Menopause is the point when periods cease for 12 consecutive months. Dr. Poy-Wing provides support and guidance through both stages.

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

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for various infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Poy-Wing can recommend the appropriate tests based on your individual situation.
