Your first visit with Dr. Oliva will be 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, but the goal is early detection of any cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Oliva 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, 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 your 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. Oliva uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized monitoring or management plan.

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 a serious concern, and we understand your question. It may mean you need to start breast and/or ovarian cancer screenings earlier than average, or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Oliva can help assess your individual risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

I'm concerned about STIs. What screenings are available?

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for various infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Oliva can recommend the appropriate tests based on your individual situation.

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, such as new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that a self-exam is a supplement to regular clinical breast exams and mammograms performed by Dr. Oliva.

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. Mariana Oliva so you don't have to suffer in silence.
