Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Obstetrics and Gynecology care with Dr. Seaborn Hunt:

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Seaborn Hunt?

Your first visit with Dr. Hunt 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. Dr. Seaborn Hunt follows the latest evidence-based recommendations and will create a personalized screening schedule for you. Early detection of potential cervical changes is key, and she's committed to ensuring your health.

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 regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, birth control, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; no question is off-limits. Your health and well-being are our top priorities.

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

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

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Seaborn Hunt 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?

Breast self-awareness, not finding a perfect technique, is key. Monthly self-exams help you notice any changes, like new lumps or skin changes. This is important, but it's a supplement to clinical exams and mammograms, which are still essential for early detection.

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 an important factor to consider. It might mean you need to start screenings earlier or consider genetic testing, such as for BRCA genes. Dr. Seaborn Hunt can help assess your risk and create a proactive, personalized surveillance plan.
