• Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: Managing risk factors like immobility and genetic predisposition can greatly reduce your chances of developing dangerous blood clots during pregnancy.
• Female Infertility due to Tubal Disorder: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN can help identify tubal issues early, potentially preventing infertility and allowing for timely intervention.
• Female Infertility due to Ovulatory Disorder: Managing ovulation disorders proactively can prevent years of emotional distress and costly treatments associated with infertility.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Cielo Gnecco?

Your first visit with Dr. Gnecco 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. The goal is early detection of cervical changes, and Dr. Gnecco follows the latest evidence-based recommendations. She 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 topic related to your reproductive health, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health concerns, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion about your well-being. No question is off-limits.

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. Gnecco will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule, ensuring early detection of breast cancer.

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

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 us. Dr. Gnecco uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.

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

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 like new lumps or skin changes. It's a valuable supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Gnecco and mammograms.
