Understanding your menstrual cycle is key to reproductive health. Our providers help identify what a typical cycle looks like and address concerns such as irregularities, heavy bleeding, or severe pain that may need further investigation or treatment.

When it comes to contraception, we offer counseling on various methods, including hormonal options like the pill, patch, or injection, as well as non-hormonal methods such as the copper IUD or barrier methods. Our team helps you choose the best option for your lifestyle and health needs.

For those planning to start a family, we offer preconception care to ensure optimal health before conception. Our prenatal care services monitor both mother and baby, providing regular visits and education on recognizing potential complications such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes.

We also emphasize the importance of STI prevention with regular screenings and education on safe sex practices to protect fertility and reproductive health.

For women, these check-ups are tailored to address specific needs based on age, health history, and individual risk factors. We recommend annual visits for a comprehensive examination, including vaccination updates and screenings for conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and diabetes.

During your annual check-up, our healthcare providers perform a thorough examination, including a clinical breast exam, Pap test for cervical cancer (starting at age 21), pelvic exam, blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, and a complete physical exam. We also offer mammograms starting at age 40, based on risk factors and family history, and provide Pap smears every three years or every five years with HPV testing for women aged 30 and above.

We recognize the need for personalized care, especially for women with risk factors or health conditions such as a family history of breast cancer, previous abnormal Pap tests, chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease, or menopausal health concerns. For younger women, we focus on reproductive health, menstrual issues, and contraception, while older women may need more frequent screenings for conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease.
