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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health.

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 and what's normal for you. Doing a self-exam monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is an additional tool, not a substitute for regular clinical exams and mammograms.

Are painful periods normal?

While some mild cramping during periods 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. Sanchez so you don't have to suffer in silence.

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

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