What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Charles Bloom?

Your first visit with Dr. Bloom will be 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. Dr. Bloom follows the latest evidence-based recommendations and will create a personalized screening schedule for you. This schedule will ensure early detection of any potential cervical changes.

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

During your annual wellness visit, be open and proactive about discussing your menstrual cycle, sexual health concerns, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in your breast or pelvic health. Remember, no question is off-limits. We want to ensure you receive the best possible care.

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. Bloom can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

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

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

Are painful periods normal?

While some mild cramping during your period is normal, severe, debilitating pain is not. This could be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Bloom to discuss your concerns and find a solution.

Does Dr. Charles Bloom manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Bloom's practice manages high-risk pregnancies, including those complicated by advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, or pre-existing health conditions. We work closely with Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists to provide comprehensive care and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

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

The goal of a breast self-exam is breast self-awareness—knowing what's normal for your body. Perform it monthly to recognize any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Bloom and mammograms.
