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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns about 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, no matter how personal. Your health is our priority, and we're here to address any questions or concerns you may have.

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 schedule a consultation with Dr. Tricia Percy so you don't have to suffer in silence.

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

The goal of a breast self-exam is breast self-awareness—understanding what's normal for your body. Perform it monthly to notice any changes like new lumps or skin changes. It's important to remember that this is a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Tricia Percy and mammograms.

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. Tricia Percy 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, if you experience severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure, please contact us. Dr. Percy uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized monitoring or management plan.

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. Percy can recommend the appropriate tests based on your individual situation.
