GSM (OR VULVAR-VAGINAL ATROPHY) TREATMENT:

The term Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause – or GSM – encompasses a group of symptoms that may occur in the vulvovaginal and bladder-urethral areas from loss of estrogen that occurs with menopause. Our office offers a comprehensive assessment and a personalized and individualized discussion of the currently available and approved options to treat this condition. It is not one size fits all, and our office provides a complete discussion of the available therapies to treat this condition, including OTC lubricants, local vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA, oral medications (such as Ospemifene,) pelvic health physical therapy, and laser-based therapies, including the MonaLisa Touch™ laser. Learn more about GSM and its treatments here.

BREAST CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT:

Women are aware that screening for breast cancer with an annual mammogram is important, and most women check the box off their annual mammogram and forget about their risk of breast cancer for a year. But an annual screening for breast cancer versus understanding personal risk of developing breast cancer are two vastly different things. Our practice now offers individualized breast cancer risk assessment screening to determine your risk for breast cancer – an important metric in your overall health. 

CANCER SURVIVORSHIP:

Cancer survivorship consults include an evaluation for survivors, including late-term effects of cancer therapies (chemotherapy, radiation and drug therapy.) Focus includes identifying opportunities for improved wellness, appropriate screenings and late consequences of cancer treatment therapies. Consult includes visit with in-house dietician (nutritionist). Additional 30-minute follow-up appointments if needed. Any lab work ordered will be submitted to insurance for possible coverage.
