A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Lindsey Solomon provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) starts with good hygiene practices and staying hydrated to flush out bacteria, reducing your risk of painful infections and potential kidney complications.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Preventing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) through safe sex practices and prompt treatment of infections significantly reduces your risk of developing a tubo-ovarian abscess, a painful and potentially dangerous complication.
• Miscarriages: A healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and stress management, plays a vital role in reducing the risk of miscarriage and promoting a successful pregnancy.
• Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless, but understanding your risk factors and having regular pelvic exams can help prevent serious issues from developing.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, or hypertension, can harm your heart and kidneys, so regular checkups help us catch it early and prevent serious problems.
• Perimenopause: Perimenopause is a natural stage, but understanding its impact on your bone health, cardiovascular health, and mental well-being enables you to take preventive steps to protect your future health.
• Uterine Prolapse: Early detection of uterine prolapse through regular OB/GYN checkups is crucial to prevent discomfort and more serious complications later on.
• Ovarian Cancer: While there's no surefire way to prevent ovarian cancer, early detection through regular pelvic exams and appropriate screening tests can dramatically improve survival rates.
• Uterine Carcinoma: Regular pelvic exams and Pap tests are crucial for early detection of uterine cancer, enabling prompt treatment that prevents disease progression and improves your chances of a full recovery.
• Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Managing your blood sugar levels before conception significantly lowers your risk of pregnancy-related complications associated with pre-gestational diabetes.
• Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is a condition where the pelvic organs, such as the uterus or bladder, drop down into the vagina, and early detection through regular check-ups can help prevent further complications and discomfort.
• Tubal Pregnancy: Understanding your risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, such as previous tubal surgery or pelvic infections, empowers you to take proactive steps to protect your reproductive health.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Lindsey Solomon offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Hysteroscopy: To help maintain your reproductive well-being, a hysteroscopy allows for the detection of uterine abnormalities, often allowing for early intervention and preventing more invasive procedures later on.
• Laparoscopic Oophorectomy: As a proactive step in women's health, this minimally invasive surgery removes ovaries, which can help prevent ovarian cancer or address existing conditions such as cysts or endometriosis.
• Colpopexy: As a proactive step in managing pelvic organ prolapse, colpopexy strengthens the supporting tissues to alleviate discomfort and improve bladder or bowel function.
• Oophorectomy: Facing a high risk of ovarian cancer or managing specific health problems, an oophorectomy is a proactive surgical option to remove one or both ovaries and potentially prevent future issues.
• Birth Control: Empower yourself with informed choices about your body by discussing birth control options with your healthcare provider to find the best fit for your individual circumstances.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): Taking a proactive step in your health, this treatment eliminates precancerous cells found on your cervix, helping to prevent cancer.
• Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Vaginal prolapse surgery is a proactive step to restore pelvic organ support and improve bladder and bowel control, enhancing your overall quality of life.
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Taking a proactive step towards better health, a laparoscopic hysterectomy involves a small incision to remove the uterus, helping alleviate symptoms like heavy bleeding or chronic pain.
• Incontinence Sling Procedure: Taking a proactive step towards better bladder health, an incontinence sling procedure can effectively treat stress urinary incontinence, preventing leaks and accidents.
• Hysterectomy: In cases of severe uterine prolapse or other pelvic organ prolapse conditions, a hysterectomy can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore pelvic support and alleviate symptoms.
• Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: An IUD placement is a proactive step to prevent pregnancy for several years, offering a long-term, highly effective birth control solution.

Are painful periods normal?

While mild cramping can be normal, severe, debilitating pain is not. It could be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Lindsey Solomon so you don't have to suffer in silence.

At what age should I start getting mammograms, and how often?

Mammogram recommendations generally begin at age 40, but can vary based on family history and personal risk factors. Dr. Solomon will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

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

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. Lindsey Solomon provides guidance through both stages.

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.
