What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Kirsten Seeley?

Your first visit with Dr. Seeley is designed as 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. The goal is early detection of cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Seeley follows the latest evidence-based screening 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 or questions about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in breast or pelvic health. No question is off-limits; we are here to support your overall well-being.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact us. Dr. Seeley uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.

What is endometriosis and how is it diagnosed?

Endometriosis is a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and potentially impacting fertility. Diagnosis typically involves a detailed history and physical exam, and may include minimally invasive surgical procedures. Dr. Seeley is skilled in diagnosing and managing this complex condition.

How do I perform a breast self-exam, and how often should I do it?

Breast self-awareness is key—getting to know what's normal for your breasts. A monthly self-exam can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to regular clinical exams and mammograms performed by Dr. Seeley.

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 undergo genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Seeley can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

What are my options for birth control?

Many safe and effective birth control options exist, including hormonal methods like pills and IUDs, and non-hormonal options. Dr. Seeley will discuss your lifestyle, health history, and preferences to determine the best fit for you.
