Dr. Lynley Durrett and Dr. Obiamaka Mora of Avant Gynecology Discuss Women’s Health on WSB Radio
Dr. Lynley Durrett and Dr. Obiamaka Mora of Avant Gynecology appeared on the June 30 episode of “The Weekly Check-Up,” a healthcare talk show on WSB Radio featuring host Dr. Bruce Feinberg. They discussed women’s health, their medical journeys, and their specialized focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries.
Dr. Durrett has been with Avant Gynecology for 24 years, while Dr. Obiamaka Mora has been with the practice for 12 years. “I enjoy our practice and our patients,” Dr. Mora shared. “It’s a privilege being able to help the community in all aspects of what we do.”
The doctors kicked off the show by emphasizing the importance of diet in managing iron levels and addressing underlying conditions to treat low iron levels. Additionally, they highlighted the benefits of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries, pointing out these advanced techniques reduce recovery time and improve outcomes for patients. They also discussed important life changes for women, such as puberty and menopause.
“We are fortunate that we get to do continuing care and are seeing people as young as puberty,” said Dr. Durrett, “and they can stay with us their whole lives.”
Drs. Durrett and Mora emphasized the importance of health exams for college-bound students as these exams are important in educating young women about basic functions, STD prevention, and scheduling Pap screenings.
Later, the doctors addressed the misconception bladder and urinary issues are normal as women age, encouraging women to seek medical advice if they experience these problems. Dr. Mora highlighted the importance of colon cancer screenings, noting that undetected colon cancer can lead to anemia and other serious health issues.
“No one is going to take care of you but you,” Dr. Durrett said. “Women need the tools to empower themselves in their healthcare decisions. Often, women may not be aware of all the available options, and it’s our mission to provide them with the resources they need to achieve their health goals.”
