Well woman care can vary with each woman’s particular needs, but in general includes:
In addition to all the routine exams and health screenings, the Women’s Specialty Care SC team can discuss women’s health issues with you, for example, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or menopause symptoms.
The team can customize your well woman care according to your requests and needs. They view each woman as a partner in her own health care, so the team always makes time to explain issues and treatment options.
Well woman care is important for all women. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that young women schedule their first well woman care visit at age 13-15.
After their first visit, all women need well woman care on a regular basis (generally once a year) as they grow and change throughout their lives. While a woman’s needs are very different in every decade of life, the Women’s Specialty Care SC team understands all the issues women can encounter and they’re here to help you prevent illness and cope with challenges effectively.
At the end of your well woman exam, the team makes recommendations and helps you to address any issues. If they discover a problem, the team may recommend further testing and treatment such as a follow-up Pap smear, colposcopy, or pelvic ultrasound.
If you’re in good health and don’t have any new questions or issues, you can generally schedule your next well woman exam in one year. Of course, if you have a new problem, don’t hesitate to reach out to Women’s Specialty Care SC at any time for help.
