Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Obstetrics and Gynecology care with Dr. Glenn Salkind:

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Glenn Salkind?

Your first visit with Dr. Salkind 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. Dr. Salkind follows the latest evidence-based recommendations and will create a personalized screening schedule for you. Early detection is key to managing cervical changes that could lead to cancer.

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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns or questions regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or any changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; no question is off-limits.

Are painful periods normal?

While mild cramping can be 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. Salkind so you don't have to suffer in silence.

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

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 notice any changes like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Salkind and mammograms.

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. Salkind can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.
