• Adenomyosis: Managing adenomyosis through early diagnosis and treatment options, such as hormone therapy or surgery, can help prevent long-term issues like infertility and chronic pelvic pain, underscoring the value of proactive women's health.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Managing abnormal uterine bleeding early can help minimize disruptions to your daily life and prevent potentially serious health consequences down the line. Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Careful monitoring during pregnancy can help identify intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) early, allowing for timely interventions that improve the baby's chances of a healthy outcome.

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 you have, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health, birth control, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic that's important to you. No question is off-limits.

What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?

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

What are the common symptoms of menopause I should be aware of?

Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These are normal but treatable, and Dr. Mayida can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.

Are painful periods normal?

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

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

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

Breast self-awareness, not detection, is the goal. Monthly self-exams can help you recognize changes like new lumps or skin changes. This is a valuable tool, but it's important to remember that it's in addition to regular clinical exams and mammograms by Dr. Mayida.
