• Uterine Cancer: Preventative care, including discussions with your OB/GYN about your individual risk factors, helps ensure timely detection and effective management of uterine cancer, preserving your health and well-being.
• Gestational Diabetes Postpartum: Addressing gestational diabetes postpartum through lifestyle changes and medication can significantly decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

• Female Infertility: Addressing infertility early through lifestyle changes, medical care, and reproductive support can reduce both the emotional and financial strain associated with prolonged treatment.
• Hemorrhage from Placenta Previa: Understanding your risk factors for placenta previa, such as previous cesarean sections, can help your doctor create a plan to minimize the chance of dangerous bleeding during pregnancy.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Many non-inflammatory cervical issues are manageable, and early diagnosis through routine Pap smears and pelvic exams significantly reduces the chances of long-term problems.
• 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.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Protecting your long-term health includes understanding your menstrual cycle. Unusual bleeding patterns should be discussed with your doctor to identify and manage any potential problems.

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

• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Take control of your breast health: genetic testing can reveal if you have gene mutations that increase your chances of getting breast cancer, enabling early intervention.
• Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: As part of your pregnancy journey, a non-stress test provides valuable insights into your baby's health and helps your doctor plan for a safe and healthy delivery.
• Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Planning your delivery method, whether vaginal delivery or a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), empowers you to make informed choices for a safe and healthy birth experience.
• Salpingectomy: Taking charge of your reproductive health, a salpingectomy is a surgical option to remove your fallopian tubes, lowering your chances of developing ectopic pregnancies and some ovarian cancers.
• Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a proactive step to check for an imbalance of vaginal bacteria that can lead to discomfort and infection, helping you maintain your vaginal health.
• Hepatitis B Virus Screening: Ensure your liver health by getting screened for Hepatitis B. Early detection through this test enables effective management and prevents future complications.
• Chlamydia Infection Screening: Take charge of your sexual health with a chlamydia screening—an important step in preventing complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility.

• HIV Screening: Protect yourself and your loved ones: an HIV screening is a vital step in preventing the transmission of this virus and ensuring your long-term well-being.
• Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound is a safe and painless way to monitor your baby's growth and development, helping to identify potential issues early on.
• Salpingo Oopherectomy: If you are at high risk for ovarian or fallopian tube cancer, a salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that can be considered as a proactive step to significantly reduce your cancer risk.

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

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Wendy Quirino?

Your first visit with Dr. Quirino 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. It's 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. Quirino follows the latest evidence-based recommendations. She will create a personalized screening schedule for you.

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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any concerns, including your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraceptive needs, future pregnancy plans, and changes in breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion of any topic; no question is off-limits.

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

Mammogram recommendations generally start at age 40, but can vary based on family history and personal risk factors. Dr. Quirino will assess your individual risk to recommend the most appropriate screening schedule to ensure early detection of breast cancer.

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

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step. A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Quirino can help optimize your lifestyle, discuss starting folic acid, review any medications, and consider genetic carrier screening. Dr. Quirino is happy to partner with you in optimizing your health for a future pregnancy.

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. Wendy Quirino so you don't have to suffer in silence.

When should I be concerned about an ovarian cyst?

Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. However, severe, persistent pain, bloating, or pressure warrant concern. Dr. Quirino uses ultrasound to evaluate cysts and create a personalized plan for monitoring or management.

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—knowing what's normal for your body. Perform it monthly to recognize any changes like new lumps or skin changes. It's a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Quirino and mammograms.
