We encourage open communication, and no question is off-limits. Your health is our priority, and we are here to support you.

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

The goal of a breast self-exam is to become familiar with how your breasts normally feel. Doing a self-exam monthly can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that self-exams are a valuable tool, but they are not a substitute for regular clinical exams and mammograms with Dr. Keeler.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth, and may impact fertility. Dr. Keeler can help with symptom management and long-term health planning for PCOS.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

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

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve naturally. However, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact us. Dr. Keeler uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized plan for monitoring or management.

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