Well Woman Care Q&A

What is well-woman care?

Well-woman care focuses on health issues unique to women. It includes routine wellness exams that allow more time than a routine follow-up visit or medication check-up to address health issues or concerns women experience.

The extra time provides ample opportunity to discuss concerns or questions you may have about birth control, fertility, or sexual health.

Topics such as difficulty losing weight, stress related to parenting, or worries you have about the effects of aging are also open for discussion during well-woman wellness exams at Generations Women’s Healthcare.

Routine health screenings are also an important focus of women’s wellness, which may include:

Breast exam
Pelvic exam with Pap smear to check for cervical cancer
Bone density testing
Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Specialized screening for women considering pregnancy
Hormone evaluation related to menopause
Routine lab tests to screen for diabetes, thyroid disorder, and anemia
Routine lab tests to screen for other medical conditions
Cologuard® noninvasive colon cancer screening test

Advanced DNA testing available at Generations Women’s Healthcare also offers crucial insight into your hereditary health risks.
