Women's Health Specialist

How often should healthy women see a doctor?

Women should schedule a comprehensive physical examination at least once per year, even if they have no concerns about their health. This allows the healthcare team to assess risk, detect problems early, and screen for cancer and other “silent” killers like high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Although pap smears are only recommended every 3 years for most women, an annual pelvic exam is still recommended and important.

What gynecological issues can be diagnosed and treated at Wall Street Physicians?

Screening and diagnosis of a myriad of reproductive health issues can be provided by Dr. Carron at Wall Street Physicians. Women can seek evaluation for:

• Pelvic pain
• Fibroids
• Irregular periods
• Menopause
• Yeast infections
• STDs
• Breast pain
• Breast lumps
• Urinary incontinence
• Pain with intercourse and more

Most conditions can be treated by the experts at Wall Street Physicians, but Dr. Carron maintains a large network of qualified specialists to ensure patients with more complex or serious conditions (like cervical or uterine cancer) can receive advanced care from a trusted doctor when required.

What signs and symptoms might indicate a problem?

Women experiencing unexplained pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding (more than 1 tampon or pad per hour), or signs and symptoms of infection should seek medical treatment. Women who find a lump in their breast or notice breakthrough bleeding (bleeding between periods) should also seek evaluation.

Is an annual exam covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. In addition, many insurance companies also cover lab tests and other diagnostic tests that may identify certain risk factors or health problems early, even before signs and symptoms are present.

Can well woman visits be scheduled via telemedicine?

Because a comprehensive physical exam is an integral component of a well woman visit, these visits should be performed in person. However, problem-focused appointments, such as those for yeast infections, can often be conducted via telemedicine for patient convenience.

Does Dr. Carron assist in hormone regulation before and after menopause?

Yes. Although menopause is unavoidable, the discomfort associated with menopause can easily be prevented, treated, and managed by an experienced women’s health doctor. Dr. Carron at Wall Street Physicians provides hormone regulation and symptom management for menopausal and postmenopausal women.
