Some of the more common concerns Dr Gaffoor attends to at his practice include family planning and contraceptive advice, pregnancy care, pap smears, menopause care, sexually transmitted infections and diseases, health screenings, and urinary tract infections.
Pap Smears
The CDC states that up to 93% of cervical cancers are preventable and that 99% of cervical cancers are associated with HPV. So diagnosing and treating HPV early could eliminate your chances of developing cervical cancer - and even detecting cervical cancer early enough could massively increase your chances of survival.
Pap smears are lifesaving tests conducted to detect cancers and other abnormalities in women. It is widely recommended that women have a pap smear at least once a year, and Dr Gaffoor wholeheartedly agrees with that recommendation. So if you haven’t had your annual pap smear yet, please give us a call and schedule an appointment.
