We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic you'd like to address. No question is off-limits.

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 an important factor to consider. It may mean you need to start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Janvier-Withrow can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step! A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Janvier-Withrow can help you discuss lifestyle choices, start folic acid, review current medications, and consider genetic carrier screening.

Dr. Kimberly Janvier-Withrow is skilled in diagnosing and managing this complex condition.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, persistent severe pain, bloating, or pressure warrant concern. Dr. Janvier-Withrow uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.

Breast self-exams help you become familiar with your breasts, recognizing what's normal for you. Doing them monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. They are a valuable tool, but are not a substitute for regular clinical exams by Dr. Janvier-Withrow and mammograms.
