What is a menopause follow up?
Menopause is a critical change in a woman’s life: short-term (quality of life) and long-term (bone health, cardiac and mental health) are issues to review and address, take preventive health measures steps.

Do I need to remove ovarian cysts?
There are multiple factors in determining as to how to address an ovarian cyst: size, texture, any symptoms, age, if indicated, certain blood tests, any other findings on exam or studies.... Much thought goes into making a recommendation. READ MORE
What is LSIL?
There are grades to the appearance of cells taken at PAP smear. LSIL: suggestive of a low-grade lesion, alone or coexisting with a worse lesion. All depends on one's medical history, presence or absence of Hi Risk HPV, any previous treatments; sometimes one will wait 3-6 months for the next PAP smear and determine what to recommend. READ MORE
How do a partial and full hysterectomy differ?
The term partial and full is understood differently by the public. Partial: a section is removed, full: entire uterus removed. For uterine cancer if surgery is to be pursued (in a 35 yo, sometimes hormonal therapy is used for preservation of fertility, and defer surgery to a future date) it means full hysterectomy. The remaining question is, at the age of 35, does one also remove the ovaries? Furthermore, does one need to perform additional surgical steps to rule out spread of disease? READ MORE
Can I have a CT scan if I am pregnant?
No READ MORE
Should women get regular ultrasounds?
Highly controversial! We want to avoid false positives studies that may lead to unnecessary procedures. While pelvic exams are valuable and should be done, one can easily miss a pathology! Should it be a routine part of an annual exam? There are differing opinions. My position: One should have a low threshold to ordering an ultrasound of the pelvis as part of an exam, especially in postmenopausal women, overweight individuals, by also taking into consideration their personal and family histories.

I have small blood vessels on my cervix. What can cause it?
Would need to know if there are associated pelvic symptoms, i.e., abnormal bleeding, spotting with intercourse. A thorough physical exam and PAP smear is a starting point. Unusual for US to pick up such a change. READ MORE
I don't have regular periods. What should I do?
Has this happened before? Are you on contraception meds? If not sexually active, thus not pregnant, it is likely to be ovulation issue, not so uncommon. Next cycle could be heavier than usual, and while it is unlikely to be anything serious, a check-up would be in order. READ MORE
How long after UTI and gonorrhea will urinary bleeding stop?
It should have stopped by now. Get checked! READ MORE
I have a boil right at the entrance of my vagina. Please suggest a topical treatment for the same?
It would be important to be examined by your gynecologist. READ MORE
Does an OB-GYN also carry out tests to detect cancer in women?
OB/GYN specialists are able to screen for cervical and breast cancers. The sub-specialist, gynecologic oncologists, provide the women's cancer treatments, and some also treat breast cancers. READ MORE
Can a radiologist detect the presence of cancer?
While the mammogram is of much value and reassuring, it is important to also have a physical breast examination. READ MORE
I have a pus filled boil near my vagina. What could it be?
It could be an infection or a growth. Examination is a must. READ MORE
Is breast cancer genetic?
About one in ten breast cancers can be transmitted genetically (from family), so most breast cancers aren't passed on to offsprings. Depending on the age of diagnosis of breast cancer, there may be a need for genetic testing, looking for abnormal genes (mutation of the BRCA gene). If such mutation is found, the lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, along with some other cancers, becomes very significant. READ MORE
What Breast Cancer treatment is recommended?
There are many factors taken into consideration in charting a course, a master plan. Your oncologist would be able to review and make the best recommendation. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy/intravenous and long-term oral medications need to be discussed. The other important issues are: the ovarian function and testing for the BRCA gene mutation, along with other preventive health measures. READ MORE
