What are well-woman exams?

Well-woman exams, or women’s wellness checkups, are physical examinations in which your provider assesses your overall health and wellness. Women have unique health care needs, as some have a higher risk of developing:

• Breast cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Menopause symptoms
• Irregular periods
• Pelvic pain
• Gynecological problems
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• Heart disease
• Osteoporosis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Thyroid problems
• Hormone imbalances
• Diabetes

Routine well-woman exams are the best way to detect and treat these or other conditions before complications occur.

What happens during well-woman exams?

During women’s wellness checkups at Primary Care Walk In Clinic, you undergo the following:

Vital signs check

Your provider weighs you, assesses your body mass index (BMI), and checks your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

During a medical history review, your provider asks questions about past diagnoses, symptoms you may have, and medications you might take.

Physical exam

The team completes a physical exam by evaluating your eyes, throat, breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, and more. They offer pelvic exams and Pap tests when needed to screen for signs of cervical cancer and breast exams to screen for breast cancer. 

Diagnostic testing

In some cases, your Primary Care Walk In Clinic provider may recommend you complete blood tests, urine tests, heart function tests, ultrasounds, or other diagnostic tests to detect or rule out specific women’s health problems. They may also refer you for a mammogram.

Do I need treatment?

You likely don’t need treatment if you’re in good health, but you can choose vaccinations as part of an effective preventive medicine strategy, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Additional women’s health treatment offerings include:

• Medical weight loss
• Nutrition education
• Nutrition and herbal dietary supplements
• Prescription medications
• Allergy and asthma treatments
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Sexually transmitted disease treatments
• Treatment for OB/GYN conditions
