How often do I need a Pap smear and HPV test?

What kind of topics should I bring up during my annual wellness exam?

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic that is important to you. No question is off-limits.

Does Dr. Paul Sporn manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Sporn'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 comprehensive care and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

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. Sporn will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

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. Sporn can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure warrant concern. Dr. Sporn uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized monitoring or management plan.

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 contact Dr. Sporn's office to schedule a consultation so you don't have to suffer in silence.
