Women’s health is unique in that it provides sex-specific care for people assigned female at birth. Men and women experience many of the same health problems, but each sex’s reproductive organs present distinctive risks.
Partnering with a women’s health specialist, like Dr. Nazarian, reduces the risk of common age-related medical problems so that you can live a long, healthy life.
Dr. Nazarian provides various women’s health services, including:
Annual physical exams provide essential health information, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and kidney function. Even if you feel well, these checkups are necessary. Many chronic health problems develop slowly and don’t initially present noticeable symptoms.
Family planning refers to birth control. If you’re sexually active but don’t want to get pregnant, Dr. Navarian makes personalized recommendations. He might suggest oral contraceptives, an intrauterine device (IUD), or something else.
Prenatal care manages your physical and mental health during pregnancy. Carrying a growing baby has many health implications. Regular checkups ensure that you and your baby are progressing well through the pregnancy.
Women’s reproductive systems are susceptible to different cancers, including breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer. Preventive screenings like breast exams and Pap smears often catch these diseases early when they respond well to treatment.
Dr. Nazarian encourages all women 45 and older to get annual mammograms (breast X-rays). He doesn’t have a mammogram machine at the office but refers patients to nearby radiology facilities.
Many women struggle to lose weight in middle age and beyond. Medical weight loss combines nutrition education, exercise tips, and prescription medication to help you lose weight and maintain your results.
Menopause is the end of your reproductive cycle. It’s a normal part of aging but affects your mood, energy levels, and sleep. Dr. Nazarian regularly works with menopausal and postmenopausal women to treat symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia.
Schedule a women’s health checkup at least once a year, even if you feel healthy. Many health problems, like hormone imbalances and menopause, develop slowly and get worse over time. Routine visits with Dr. Nazarian make catching them early and preventing severe outcomes easier.
