#preventivemedicine I love talking about these conditions all day long. But even more so I love preventive care, which can help minimize the need for worsening of symptoms or avoid the need for treatment. I hope my page can motivate you to seek preventive care or answers early on for symptoms you may be experiencing. A new year is coming and if you are due for that #pap or #mammogram or #colonoscopy, take care of yourself! 🙌🏼 As gynecologists we may be the only #physician many patients see. Please see your healthcare provider annually or throughout the year if you have any concerning symptoms. Here are some screening tests and the age at which they start for normal risk people. Cervical cancer screening 21 Breast cancer screening 40 Colorectal cancer screening 45 Osteoporosis screening 65 STI screening annually under age 25 Dr. Montes 💛 #boardcertifiedgynecologist
