Well-woman visits
While women often put others’ needs ahead of their own, remember
that you need to show yourself love, too. For that reason, don’t
forget to schedule a well-woman visit with your provider every year. At
this visit, in addition to getting a physical exam, you’ll have
the chance to discuss any health concerns as well as your health goals.
Your doctor will begin by going over your personal and family health history.
Next, she your doctor will perform a physical exam, which will likely
include a breast exam and a pelvic exam. For women ages 21–29, the
exam should include a Pap test to screen for cervical cancer at least
once every three years. Women ages 30–65 should also have a Pap
test alone every three years, a Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV)
co-test every five years or an HPV test alone every five years.
Your doctor might also recommend additional screenings. These could include:
Diabetes
High blood pressure or cholesterol
Osteoporosis
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
In addition, your doctor can help you schedule your annual mammogram to
screen for breast cancer.
Be sure to use this opportunity to discuss any unusual symptoms or other
concerns you have, including mental health issues. Remember, your doctor
is there to help you in any way you need.
Our clinic is is located in the Clinic Building Floor 5, Zone C.
