• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal cervical tissue to prevent the development of cervical cancer.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Marlynn Nunez?

Your first visit with Dr. Nunez is a collaborative partnership-building session. We will 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 cervical changes, and Dr. Marlynn Nunez follows the latest 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, please feel free to discuss any concerns related to your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. No question is too small or insignificant; we encourage open communication and proactive discussion about your overall well-being.

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

Recommendations for mammograms generally start at age 40, but can vary based on family history and personal risk factors. Dr. Nunez will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

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

Breast self-awareness is key—getting to know what's normal for your breasts. A monthly self-exam can help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. This is a valuable tool, but it's important to remember it's a supplement to clinical exams and mammograms performed by Dr. Nunez.

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, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Nunez can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance 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. Nunez can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

Does Dr. Marlynn Nunez manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Nunez's practice manages high-risk pregnancies, including those resulting from advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, or pre-existing health conditions. We work closely with Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialists to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for these pregnancies, providing the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
