Viva Women's Health

No. Viva Women's Health is part of our primary-care clinic in Doral. A provider evaluates and manages many common concerns, such as menopause symptoms, irregular periods, and birth-control questions. When you need imaging, a procedure, a specialist's exam, or pregnancy care, your provider coordinates a referral and helps you follow up on the results so nothing falls through the cracks.

Your provider asks about your cycles, hot flashes, sleep, and other changes, and reviews your health and family history. Blood tests are not always needed to recognize menopause, but they may help rule out other causes, such as thyroid problems. You then talk through hormonal and nonhormonal options, their benefits and risks, and a follow-up plan that fits your goals. Any bleeding after menopause, even once, should be checked promptly.

No. Irregular periods have many possible causes, including thyroid changes, weight changes, stress, some medicines, and perimenopause. PCOS is identified by looking at cycle patterns, signs of higher androgen levels, and sometimes ultrasound findings, after other causes are ruled out. Your provider explains which tests make sense for you and what follow-up is recommended.

Yes. Your provider reviews your health history, current medicines, and preferences, and explains how different birth-control methods work, how well they prevent pregnancy, and their possible side effects. Some methods, such as an IUD or an implant, need a placement procedure. That placement is coordinated with an outside clinic.

Yes. A preconception visit reviews your chronic conditions, current medicines, vaccines, and daily habits, and covers folic acid before pregnancy. If you have been trying to conceive for 12 months, or for 6 months if you are 35 or older, your provider can begin an initial evaluation and coordinate a timely fertility referral.

Mammograms and breast ultrasounds are done at outside imaging centers. Your provider reviews breast symptoms and family history, orders screening or diagnostic imaging when appropriate, and goes over the results with you. A new lump, skin change, or nipple discharge should be checked promptly, even if a recent mammogram was normal.

Some follow-up visits, such as reviewing results or discussing treatment options, may be done by telehealth. A first visit for new symptoms, a physical exam, or anything that needs testing is usually in person at our Doral clinic. Our team confirms the right visit type when you request an appointment, and visits are available in English and Spanish.
