What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Robert Mutch?

Your first visit with Dr. Mutch 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 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 cervical changes. Dr. Mutch follows the latest evidence-based recommendations and will create a personalized schedule for you.

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

Bring up any concerns about your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breasts or pelvic area. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; no question is off-limits. Your annual wellness exam is a valuable time to address any health concerns.

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. Perform a self-exam monthly to notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is a helpful tool, but it's important to remember it's part of a larger picture, and should not replace clinical exams by Dr. Mutch and mammograms.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, characterized by irregular periods and early symptoms. Menopause is the point when periods stop for 12 consecutive months. Dr. Mutch provides support and guidance through both stages.

What is endometriosis and how is it diagnosed?

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

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

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

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