Women’s Health Q & A
Well-woman visits, or annual exams, are seen as a form of preventive medicine that helps you avoid serious health conditions, or to diagnose them early on.
During your appointment, Dr. Desai evaluates your general health, including personal and family medical history. She checks your blood pressure, heart rate, and weight, and watches for health risks like heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. If necessary, she also administers any vaccinations that might protect your health.
Establishing a baseline of your health when you’re feeling your best can help identify changes that might be of concern in the future.
The loss of estrogen that occurs when you reach menopause can cause a variety of unwanted symptoms, including:
- Aches and pains
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal dryness
- Incontinence
Dr. Desai understands the challenges that come with menopause and offers both traditional treatments like hormone replacement therapy and medications, as well as holistic solutions like diet modifications, exercise, and orthomolecular supplements.
Incontinence is a common condition for many women and can vary in severity. Involuntary loss of bladder control can occur when you sneeze or cough, because you can’t reach the bathroom in time, or with leaks at your first urge to urinate.
During your appointment, Dr. Desai evaluates your health and symptoms to identify the cause of your incontinence. From there, she offers traditional treatment options such as medications, bladder training techniques, or surgery, as well as natural solutions like lifestyle changes. These might include pelvic floor exercises, a healthy diet, and orthomolecular supplements.
