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

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Jeffery Jensen?

Your first visit with Dr. Jensen is a collaborative partnership-building session. We'll 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, but the goal is early detection of potential cervical changes. Dr. Jensen follows the latest evidence-based recommendations and 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 concerns regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic you'd like to address. No question is off-limits; your health and well-being are our top priorities.

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

Are painful periods normal?

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

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, often marked by irregular periods and initial symptoms. Menopause is the point when periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months. Dr. Jensen provides guidance through both stages.

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. Jensen 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—learning what's normal for your body. Perform a self-exam monthly to notice 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. Jensen and mammograms.
