Well-Woman Exam

It is important that women understand their bodies, how to perpetuate good health and how to identify the risks that lead to diminished health and well-being. Many areas of a woman’s health are reviewed at this recommended yearly check-up, including:

• Screening for cancer of the breast, cervix (Pap smear, HPV) and other gynecological cancers
• A pelvic exam to check for abnormalities of the reproductive organs
• A breast exam
• Additional screening recommendations such as bone density testing and colonoscopy depending on a patient’s age
• Birth control counseling if applicable
• Prevention of sexually transmitted infections and testing if needed
• Discussion about menopause if applicable
• Wellness counseling
