What’s Included in a Women’s Wellness Exam
At Baywater Women’s Clinic, our comprehensive wellness exam includes:
Medical History Review
One of our healthcare professionals will discuss your medical history, including any chronic conditions, past surgeries, family medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking. You’ll also be given the time to share any questions or concerns.
Physical Examination
This includes measuring vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight. A general physical exam will also be completed to check for any abnormalities.
Breast Exam
A clinical breast exam involves checking for lumps, changes, or abnormalities in the breast tissue. This is a crucial step in early detection of breast cancer.
Pelvic Exam
A pelvic exam is performed to check for signs of infection, abnormal growths, or other issues.
Pap Smear
A Pap smear (or Pap test) involves collecting cells from your cervix to screen for cervical cancer and other abnormalities.
HPV Test
Often performed alongside a Pap smear, an HPV test screens for the human papillomavirus, a leading cause of cervical cancer.
STI Screening
Screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV may be included based on your age, sexual history, and risk factors.
Why You Need a Women’s Wellness Exam
If you are sexually active or over 21, wellness exams are recommended once a year. Benefits of Wellness Exams include:
Preventive Care
Regular well-woman exams are vital for early detection and prevention of health issues such as cancers, STIs, and other conditions. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment and can prevent complications.
Personalized Health Advice
These exams provide an opportunity to receive personalized health advice and guidance. Your provider can address your specific health concerns, provide recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, and discuss any symptoms or changes you’ve noticed.
Building a Healthcare Relationship
Regular healthcare visits, like the Wellness Exam, can help build a trusting relationship with your healthcare provider, making it easier to discuss sensitive topics and ensure continuity of care.
