Women’s Wellness Exams at Upper Echelon
Gynecological exams (also known as pelvic exams, women’s wellness exams or well-women visits) are routine check-ups, similar to an annual physical, that specifically focus on your reproductive and sexual health. These exams are a crucial part of preventative healthcare for women of all ages, aiding in the early detection of diseases such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian/uterine cancer, sexually transmitted infections, menopause-related changes, and other reproductive health issues.
Typically, it is recommended that women have a pelvic exam annually. However, some components, like Pap smears, may not be needed every year and depend on previous results and current guidelines. It is also essential to start incorporating well-women visits into your annual routine beginning at age 21 to establish a baseline for your reproductive health.
