Women's Health Q & A
What is a well-woman exam?
Well-woman exams are preventive health examinations with a focus on women’s health needs. They’re sometimes called gynecologic exams or pelvic exams.
Women should begin having these important exams around the age of 21. The exam consists of a combination of screenings and patient education.
What happens during a well-woman exam?
Your exam begins with a discussion at Healing Vessel Medical Associates LLC about your personal and family health history. You’re asked about your menstrual cycle, your overall health, and any concerns you have.
You will also discuss your sexual health, including whether you have any discomfort during sex or have multiple partners. These questions may seem intrusive, but the answers allow Ms. Omoregbee and her team to assist you in preserving optimal health and wellness.
One of the most important things you can do to make the most of your health is to establish a trusting bond with Ms. Omoregbee as your women’s health provider at Healing Vessels Medical Associates LLC. Your well-woman visits should be a time when you feel utterly comfortable discussing any questions or concerns you have, even about sensitive subjects.
Next comes the physical exam, which includes a breast exam to check for tissue abnormalities. Ms. Omoregbee also conducts basic checks of your height, weight, temperature, and blood pressure. She performs a pelvic exam to check the health of your reproductive organs.
A Pap smear may also be part of your well-woman exam. These simple tests are the best way to screen for cellular changes that indicate cervical cancer. Ms. Omoregbee collects a small sample of cells from your cervix to be sent to a lab for evaluation. You receive the results at a later date.
What if I need birth control?
Your well-woman exams are a great opportunity to discuss your family planning needs. Regardless of whether you’re new to birth control or ready to try a new approach, Ms. Omoregbee can answer your questions and guide you toward the option that’s right for you.
Some birth control methods work by altering your hormonal balance to prevent pregnancy. There are hormonal options available in the form of pills, patches, vaginal rings, injections, and implants.
Other methods work by creating a barrier between egg and sperm. These methods include cervical caps, diaphragms, sponges, and condoms. There are even options that use spermicides to prevent pregnancy.
