We partnered with a non-profit refugee resource center here in Dallas that helps connect refugees with the appropriate resources to facilitate a smoother and more stable transition to life here in America.
We put together backpacks with school supplies, art supplies and snacks for children and put together ladies' pampering kits for the women (spa supplies and chocolate truffles). We hosted the event at the practice and had some refugees and their families visit us.

Many medical treatments serve just one function, but a laparoscopy serves many purposes. In fact, your gynecologist can perform a laparoscopy to diagnose and then treat many different conditions! For example, your gynecologist at Women's Health Specialists of Dallas can use this method to remove cysts, remove endometrial lesions, and even determine the cause of infertility. Laparoscopy isn't like other types of surgery; it's minimally invasive, which means your recovery will be easier and quicker than traditional open surgery.

If you have an abnormal pap reading, your results will list what type of abnormality was found. ASCUS is one of the most common reasons for an abnormal result. ASCUS stands for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have cervical cancer. ASCUS results can be triggered by many things including yeast infections.
What to do next: Always follow up with your gynecologist after an abnormal result. They may have you come in for a repeat test, or a colposcopy to examine your cervix further.

Birth control pills are an easy form of birth control, but they do not have one downside: you must remember to take it every day at the same time. This can be difficult for women who travel a lot or women who have rotating work schedules. If this describes you, you don't have to miss out on birth control. The IUD can give you protection without the need for a daily pill.
IUDs are available at Women's Health Specialists of Dallas. To find out if an IUD is right for you, book a consultation.

If you have a family history of cancer, or if you had cancer at a young age, genetic testing may be able to provide you with valuable information that can help you and your healthcare provider manage your risk. Genetic testing won't tell you for sure if you will develop cancer, but it can pinpoint any genetic risk factors that you have. If you are genetically predisposed, you can take preventive measures and receive extra monitoring to catch any potential cancer early.
Not sure if you're ready for genetic testing and want to discuss your options? Don't hesitate to give us a call.
