Breast Care – Includes breast examination by a board-certified gynecologist or nurse practitioner. Breast cancer can occur at any age and the risk of developing breast cancer increases with age.  The good news is, breast cancer may be detected by mammography before any clinical signs or symptoms are apparent and the earlier detected, the better the chance for successful treatment – very important reasons to have an annual breast exam and screening mammogram.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis  – bone loss threatens millions of women and can remain undetected until a bone is broken.  Being past menopause is a major risk factor as well as smoking, too little calcium or vitamin D, thin or petite build, family history of osteoporosis or broken bones. National Osteoporosis foundation guidelines recommend bone-density testing for all women age 65 and over, and all women under age 65 who have one risk factor besides menopause.

ThinPrep Pap Test and HPV Screening – the latest in pap smear medical technology in fifty years, a screening test that has proven very successful in detecting signs of cervical cancer.  This method allows the preservation of almost all sample cells collected, enabling the lab to process a better slide.  Studies involving thousands of women have proven the ThinPrepPap test increased the detection of pre-cancerous cells.

Some of these treatment options are education, bladder retraining, pelvic muscle re-education, biofeedback, stimulation therapy, diet modification, and when indicated, medication.  The average number of visits for incontinence treatment is four to six, although the number of visits needed to accomplish your goals is based on your individual symptoms and progress.

Screening for and treatment of STD – sexually transmitted diseases. Many people with an STD might not even know they have and often there are no symptoms but can be affecting your health and cause severe damage to your body.  STD’s are infections that are spread by sexual contact and are the most common contagious disease in the US with about 12 million new cases each year.
