What women’s health services might I receive?
Well women exams are the heart of women’s health services. These exams are the ultimate in preventive health care.
During well woman appointments, your NewMed Immediate Care provider checks your overall health and finds signs of problems early while there’s time to prevent them from worsening.
NewMed Immediate Care’s comprehensive services include:
- Pelvic exams
- Birth control
- Breast exam (breast cancer screening)
- Pap smears (cervical cancer screening)
- Treatment for gynecological conditions
- Menopause care
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and treatment
- Immunizations
- Health screenings
- Mental health services
- Stress management
- Chronic disease management
- Medical weight loss
- Skin conditions
- Diet and exercise recommendations
Your provider does health screenings to assess your risk for chronic diseases, reproductive problems, and women’s top health concerns, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cancer.
A well woman exam gives you time to discuss any concerns you may face, whether you have questions about your menstrual cycle, stopping smoking, improving your sleep, or healthy aging.
When should I schedule women’s health?
You should schedule a women’s health appointment any time you have worrisome symptoms or concerns about your reproductive health. NewMed Immediate Care often sees women with symptoms such as:
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Heavy or painful periods
- Skipped menstrual periods
- Pelvic pain
- Breast lumps
- Pain during sex
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Frequent urination
- Burning when urinating
For routine healthcare, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends the following based on age.
Teens
Teens should have their first well woman visit between the ages of 13 to 15. This appointment introduces them to women’s health and answers their questions. They only need a pelvic exam if they’re sexually active, have symptoms, or want birth control.
Adult Pap testing
Women should schedule their first Pap test when they turn 21 and repeat it every three years. Alternatively, they can get a human papillomavirus (HPV) test every five years.
Well woman exam
Protect your health by scheduling a well woman exam every year.
