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; no question is off-limits. Your health and well-being are our top priorities.

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

Are painful periods normal?

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

I'm concerned about STIs. What screenings are available?

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. List can recommend the appropriate tests based on your individual situation.

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 a self-exam monthly to recognize 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. List and mammograms.
