What is advanced screening?

Advanced screening gives your gynecologist a more detailed view of your reproductive health when additional information is needed. Although routine exams are essential for maintaining your health, there are times when your symptoms, medical history, or personal risk factors may call for a closer evaluation.

At Lamorinda Women’s Health, Dr. Hajyan takes a thorough approach to understand your concerns. Through advanced screening and diagnostic tools, she can learn more about what contributes to your symptoms and use those findings to help create a care plan that fits your needs.

What gynecologic concerns can advanced screening help identify?

Advanced screening can help evaluate a range of gynecologic concerns and provide valuable information when symptoms or changes occur. Depending on your situation, advanced screening may help identify or monitor:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding or changes in your menstrual cycle
• Uterine fibroids or other changes affecting the uterus
• Ovarian cysts or other ovarian concerns
• Pelvic pain or unexplained discomfort
• Changes that may require additional testing or follow-up care

Dr. Hajyan can determine the most appropriate recommendations for your health by gaining a better understanding of your concerns.

What can I expect during an advanced screening appointment?

Your appointment begins with a conversation with Dr. Hajyan about your symptoms, health history, and any concerns you want to discuss. She takes the time to listen, answer questions, and explain your options.

The type of screening you receive depends on your symptoms, health history, and individual concerns. Your appointment may include diagnostic testing, imaging, or other evaluations to provide a clearer understanding of your gynecologic health.

Dr. Hajyan walks you through each step, answers your questions, and explains why a specific screening option may be recommended for you.

How can advanced screening help guide my next steps in care?

Advanced screening results can provide important details that help guide your care and treatment. A clearer understanding of your health enables Dr. Hajyan to determine whether you may benefit from monitoring, additional testing, medication, or other treatment options.

At Lamorinda Women’s Health, the goal is to help you feel informed and supported when making decisions about your care. If you have concerns about your gynecologic health or want to learn more about advanced screening, contact the office today by phone or online to schedule an appointment.
