Why are women’s wellness visits important?

A women’s wellness visit, also known as a well-woman exam, is a comprehensive checkup focused on your reproductive and general health. These visits allow for the early detection of health issues so they have a better chance of being resolved before causing complications. 

During a women’s wellness visit, you also discuss preventive health measures and address your unique healthcare needs.

How often should I have a women’s wellness visit?

Most women benefit from a yearly women’s visit. Some women may require them more frequently depending on their age, health history, and specific health care needs.

What should I expect during a women’s wellness visit?

During a women’s wellness visit, the team at Georgia’s OB/GYN performs a physical examination, breast and pelvic exams, blood pressure monitoring, and discussions about your health history, lifestyle, and any other concerns or symptoms you may have. 

This appointment is also an opportunity to discuss family planning, contraception, and any changes in your menstrual cycle.

Does a women’s wellness visit include a Pap smear?

A Pap smear is a routine screening that detects cervical cancer or precancerous changes in cells in the cervix. During a Pap smear, your provider takes a swab to collect a sample of cells during your pelvic exam. It’s not painful, but you may feel some uncomfortable pressure.

Pap smears are a critical part of your wellness visits, usually starting at age 21. How frequently you have Pap smears depends on age and health history.

Is it appropriate to discuss sexual health and concerns during a women’s wellness visit? 

A women’s wellness visit is absolutely an appropriate time to discuss sexual health, including concerns about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), contraception, pain during intercourse, and any issues related to sexual function and satisfaction.

The team at Georgia OB/GYN can ease your concerns, recommend testing if appropriate, and offer treatment or therapies to ease symptoms related to your sexual health.

Do women’s wellness visits address menopause and postmenopausal health?

Women’s wellness visits are an opportunity to discuss menopause and any symptoms you may be experiencing during this change of life. The team at Georgia OB/GYN offers treatments, like hormone replacement therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to make you more comfortable.
