If you haven't come in for your annual well-women visit, now is a better time than ever. Be proactive about your health and get a cancer screening!
Cancer screenings are important for your health because they can detect the presence of precancerous and cancerous changes before you develop symptoms. Getting routine cancer screenings helps your doctor identify these changes at the earliest stage possible. After assessing your overall health and contributing risk factors, such as family history, your doctor at Garden OB/GYN will be able to determine when you need to start cancer screenings.
A few of the gynecologic cancers we screen for are listed below:
- Breat Cancer: Ultrasounds, MRI, mammograms, clinical breast exam, and breast self-exams are all used to screen for breast cancer.
Typical gynecological cancers do not show symptoms at an early stage and by the time symptoms are noticed, chances are the cancer is too advanced to cure. Be proactive about your health and schedule your annual well-women exam and cancer screening today!
