• Sexual Disorders: Preventive sexual health care, including addressing any disorders, can significantly reduce the risk of complications affecting your fertility and future pregnancies.

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

• STD Screening: Investing in your health means getting regular STD screenings. These tests can identify infections you might not even know you have, enabling early intervention and better outcomes.
• Laparoscopic Oophorectomy: A laparoscopic oophorectomy is a surgical option that involves removing the ovaries through small incisions, often undertaken to address concerns about ovarian health and reduce cancer risk.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ovarian Cancer Screening: Take a proactive step towards your health by scheduling ovarian cancer screening; early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
• HIV Screening: Early detection saves lives: routine HIV testing empowers you to manage your health proactively and access effective treatment options if needed.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This helps detect and remove abnormal cervical cells identified during a Pap smear or HPV test, significantly reducing your cancer risk.
• First Trimester Screening: Take a proactive step towards a healthy pregnancy by scheduling first trimester screening; it helps detect potential chromosomal abnormalities in your developing baby early on.
• Mammography: Early detection is key to beating breast cancer, and a mammogram is your powerful tool for finding it early, before it becomes a serious threat.
• Fluid Contrast Ultrasound: Taking charge of your health means utilizing tools like a fluid contrast ultrasound, which enhances the visualization of your reproductive organs and helps identify any concerning changes before they become major problems.
• 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.
• Vaginosis Screening: Take charge of your wellbeing with vaginosis screening: a simple test that detects bacterial vaginosis, preventing potential complications and discomfort.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Mario Gomez?

Your first visit with Dr. Gomez 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, but the goal is early detection of any cervical changes that could lead to cancer. Dr. Gomez 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 topics such as your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or any changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion about your overall well-being. No question is off-limits. We are here to support you.

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

Breast self-exams are a way to become familiar with your breasts and what's normal for you. Performing them monthly helps you notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. They are a helpful tool, but are not a substitute for regular clinical exams and mammograms with Dr. Gomez.

Does Dr. Mario Gomez manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Gomez's practice manages high-risk pregnancies, including those complicated by advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, or pre-existing health conditions. We work closely with Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists to provide the best possible coordinated care for these pregnancies. This ensures the safest and most effective outcome for both mother and baby.

What is endometriosis and how is it diagnosed?

Endometriosis is a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially causing pelvic pain and fertility problems. Diagnosis often involves a thorough history and physical exam, and may be confirmed with minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Gomez is skilled in diagnosing and managing this complex condition.

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, like for BRCA genes. Dr. Gomez can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause, often with irregular periods and early symptoms. Menopause is when periods stop for 12 consecutive months. Dr. Gomez provides guidance through both stages.
