A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Courtney Mascoe 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:

• Cervix Carcinoma: Managing cervical cancer risk involves consistent preventative healthcare, including routine checkups and vaccination against HPV, the primary cause.

• Maternal Anemia: Regular blood tests and dietary adjustments can help prevent maternal anemia, a condition that can significantly impact your pregnancy's health and your baby's development.
• Pelvic Abscess: Preventing pelvic abscesses involves proactive care for any gynecological issues; early intervention minimizes the risk of severe complications requiring surgery.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Preventing complications associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) starts with consistent prenatal care, enabling early diagnosis and allowing healthcare providers to create a tailored management plan.

• Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Preventing complications from vaginitis or vaginosis starts with understanding your risk factors and practicing good hygiene; early diagnosis through regular screenings helps manage symptoms effectively.
• Ovarian Cysts: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of ovarian cysts, preventing potential complications like pain or infertility.
• 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.
• Cervical Polyps: While usually harmless, cervical polyps can sometimes cause abnormal bleeding or discharge, making regular OB/GYN visits crucial for early identification and management to prevent more serious issues.
• Menstrual Disorders: Regular visits with your OB/GYN are key to identifying and managing menstrual disorders, reducing your risk of developing more complex health concerns down the line.
• Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Preventing complications during pregnancy and postpartum is vital, and managing any blood clotting problems is a key part of this.

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

During your annual wellness exam, be open and proactive about discussing your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in breast or pelvic health. No question is off-limits; we encourage you to bring up anything that's on your mind.

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. Mascoe uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.

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. Mascoe will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth, and may impact fertility. Dr. Mascoe can help with symptom management and long-term health planning.

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. Mascoe 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 supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Mascoe and mammograms.
