• Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: Even without symptoms, post-menopausal women should schedule regular visits for preventive screenings to catch problems early and maintain their well-being.
• Vaginal Yeast Infection: Early diagnosis of a vaginal yeast infection is crucial for effective treatment and to prevent more serious complications that can affect your overall well-being.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Obstetrics and Gynecology care with Dr. Lynn Beauchamp:

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Lynn Beauchamp?

Your first visit with Dr. Beauchamp is a collaborative partnership-building session. We'll 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 potential cervical changes, and Dr. Beauchamp follows the latest evidence-based recommendations. She will create a personalized screening 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 you have, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and any changes in your breast or pelvic health. No question is off-limits; we are here to support you.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

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

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. Beauchamp utilizes ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized monitoring or management plan.

What are uterine fibroids and should I be concerned?

Uterine fibroids are very common, non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They are often asymptomatic, but can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or pain. Dr. Beauchamp can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

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 typically feel. Perform a self-exam monthly, paying attention to any new lumps or skin changes. This is a helpful tool for breast awareness, but it should be considered a supplement to clinical exams and mammograms performed by Dr. Beauchamp.

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 should start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Beauchamp can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.
