What is women’s health?

Women and men share many health concerns, but women have special needs, too. Women’s health refers to screenings, exams, and care for issues that affect women’s reproductive organs and unique anatomy. 

The team at Vie Medical Center prevents, diagnoses, and treats health issues that affect women. This includes issues like menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. They can also serve as your primary care provider and manage other health needs, including chronic conditions. 

What is a woman’s health exam? 

A woman’s health exam, sometimes called a well-woman exam, includes a review of your and your family’s medical health history. The team reviews any health concerns you may have. You’ll also undergo a clinical breast exam and pelvic exam. 

A woman’s health exam may also include blood work and urinalysis. The team also ensures you’re up-to-date on important screenings, including Pap smears, mammograms, and bone density tests. 

You can request a screening for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) at your woman’s health exam. Use this exam to ask questions about birth control or specific symptoms, like irregular bleeding or pelvic pain.
