A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Tierra Curry provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Hypertension: High blood pressure, or hypertension, can harm your heart and kidneys, so regular checkups help us catch it early and prevent serious problems.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition where the baby is smaller than expected for their gestational age, and proactive management helps reduce potential long-term health issues for the child.
• Menstrual Disorders: Irregular or painful periods can signal underlying health issues, so early detection through regular checkups with your OB/GYN helps prevent complications and ensures timely treatment.
• Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is a dangerous pregnancy complication, best prevented through regular checkups and careful monitoring of blood pressure to catch it early and avoid serious problems for you and your baby.
• Advanced Maternal Age: Because pregnancy after 35 carries increased health risks for both mother and baby, preventative strategies, such as healthy lifestyle choices, can help mitigate these risks.
• Fallopian Tube Disorders: Regular OB/GYN visits can help detect fallopian tube problems early, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the risk of serious complications like infertility or life-threatening ectopic pregnancies.
• Chronic Vaginitis: Chronic vaginitis, or persistent vaginal inflammation, can be prevented through proactive steps like maintaining good hygiene and recognizing early symptoms to avoid long-term complications.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

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

• C-Section: While aiming for a vaginal delivery, knowing about C-sections as a safe alternative ensures you're equipped to navigate unexpected challenges during labor.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Protecting your baby's well-being starts with an obstetric ultrasound; this simple scan helps detect birth defects, multiple pregnancies, or placental issues early on.
• Ultrasound, Pelvic: A pelvic ultrasound is a simple, effective way to monitor the health of your reproductive organs and detect any abnormalities early, helping prevent future health problems.
• 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.
• Pelvic Sling: As a proactive measure against stress urinary incontinence, a pelvic sling procedure helps restore proper support and reduce leakage.
• Obstetric Procedures: Obstetric procedures provide vital monitoring and interventions during pregnancy to detect and address potential issues early, optimizing both mother and baby's health.
• Endocervical Curettage: As part of your preventive health plan, an endocervical curettage may be recommended to help your doctor accurately diagnose and treat any abnormalities found on your cervix.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Tierra Curry?

Your first visit with Dr. Curry is a collaborative partnership-building session. We'll review your detailed health history, discuss your health goals and concerns, and create a 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. Tierra Curry follows the latest evidence-based recommendations. She 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, please feel free to discuss any concerns you have regarding your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive engagement in your health care. No question is off-limits, and we're here to address any topics you'd like to discuss.

I'm thinking about getting pregnant. What should I do to prepare?

Considering pregnancy is an excellent proactive step! A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Curry can help optimize your health by discussing lifestyle factors, starting folic acid, reviewing any medications, and potentially considering genetic carrier screening. Dr. Curry is happy to partner with you in achieving your goals for a healthy pregnancy.

Does Dr. Tierra Curry manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Curry and our practice manage 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 when necessary to provide the highest quality coordinated care for these pregnancies.

I'm experiencing leakage of urine when I cough or exercise. Is this normal?

Many women experience urine leakage when coughing or exercising, especially after childbirth. This is a common issue called stress incontinence, and it's not something you have to live with. Dr. Curry can offer many effective solutions, from pelvic floor therapy to simple procedures.

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 own breasts. Doing a self-exam monthly can help you notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is important, but it's crucial to remember that self-exams are a supplement to regular clinical exams by Dr. Tierra Curry and mammograms.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own. However, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact us. Dr. Curry uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and determine the best course of action.
