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

We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic, no matter how personal. Your health is important, and we are here to support you.

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

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step.

She can partner with you in optimizing your health for a future pregnancy.

What are the common symptoms of menopause I should be aware of?

Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. These are normal but treatable, and Dr. Gorman can help you navigate this transition and maintain your quality of life.

Does Dr. Victoria Gorman manage high-risk pregnancies?

Dr. Gorman'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 ensure the best possible coordinated care for these pregnancies.

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 your own breasts, recognizing what is normal for you. Perform a breast self-exam monthly to detect any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is a helpful tool, but it should be considered a supplement to regular clinical exams by Dr. Gorman and mammograms.

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 very common issue called stress incontinence, and it's not something you have to live with. Dr. Gorman can offer many effective solutions, from pelvic floor therapy to simple procedures.
