Women’s health requires particular attention, especially after a certain age. As women get older, they undergo a lot of hormonal changes that eventually lead to menopause. This process can dramatically affect your health and what you’re used to. If you are experiencing hormonal changes, Dr. Williams can evaluate your condition and help make the transition into menopause as smooth as possible. Connect with our Dodge City office today for well woman exams and learn how these exams, when performed regularly, can help you.
For women over 21, a women’s wellness exam can cover all aspects of their health. It can include sexually related health issues such as contraception or STD testing. It can also typically include cancer screening tests such as Pap smears and mammograms. A pelvic exam may be done if needed. Dr. Williams will adjust your examination when you visit our office according to your health history and reported complications.
Dr. Williams may start by taking a full medical history, including family history, information about your periods and menstrual cycle, any symptoms you may be experiencing, the type and level of sexual activity, and specific concerns you may have. A standard pelvic exam is no longer recommended annually and may be done if needed, with additional tests being performed as recommended based on the assessment of your health condition.
Tests are not always part of well woman exams. However, you should have regular Pap smears if you are 21 or over, and you should start having mammograms annually starting at age 40, if not before. Making these procedures a standard part of your consultations will ensure your long-term health and happiness.
If you are a woman experiencing a lot of hormonal changes, a well woman exam may be necessary. These exams feature several diagnostic procedures that can help identify your struggles and give you the care you deserve. You can get started by clicking the “Enroll Now” button below.
