Not all women with fibroids have symptoms, but if you do, our providers here at Platinum Women’s Health can help. Book online or call one of our offices if you have symptoms that suggest uterine fibroids.
When to See the Doctor
It is essential to seek medical attention promptly when encountering any unusual symptoms or experiencing changes in your physical or mental well-being. Routine check-ups are important, but immediate consultation with a provider is warranted if there are concerns such as persistent pain, irregular menstrual patterns, unusual lumps or changes in breast tissue, unexplained weight loss, or any other significant deviations from normal health.
Annual Exams
Pap smear
Pap smears are administered to screen for suspicious cells that suggest cervical cancer. If you have a “positive” Pap smear, meaning the presence of abnormal cells was detected, you don’t necessarily have cancer. It simply means you may need to undergo more tests for further evaluation.
To conduct a Pap test, one of the doctors swabs your cervix to collect a small sample of cells, and the cells are sent to a laboratory for evaluation. The Pap test may cause some pressure, but generally takes only seconds and isn’t painful.
Have your first Pap smear by age 21, and then get on a regular schedule as suggested by our providers.
Mammogram
Mammograms play a huge role in women’s health by helping with early detection of breast cancer. Regular mammographic screenings are instrumental in identifying abnormalities and potential tumors in the breast tissue, often before they show noticeable symptoms. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and improves overall outcomes for breast cancer patients. Mammograms have become a cornerstone in preventive healthcare, allowing us to detect and address potential issues at their earliest stages. This not only saves lives but also reduces the need for more aggressive and invasive treatments.

STD Screenings

Core Blood Banking
When your baby is born, the umbilical cord holds blood that is rich in stem cells. Our providers offer cord blood banking services to safely store your cord blood in case you, your baby, or another member of your family develops a condition that would benefit from stem cell therapy. If you want to learn more about this safe process, call us or schedule a consultation online today.
