Regular preventive care is an essential investment in long-term health and wellness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How frequently should I schedule wellness examinations?
Most women benefit from annual wellness examinations. Certain screenings like Pap smears may be performed every three years after age 30 if previous results have been normal. We'll recommend an appropriate screening schedule based on your age and medical history.
Are annual Pap smears necessary?
Current guidelines recommend Pap smears every three years for women ages 21-65, or every five years when combined with HPV testing after age 30. We follow current recommendations and explain what's indicated for your situation.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
When feasible, schedule outside your menstrual period. Avoid douching or vaginal medications for 48 hours before your appointment, as these can interfere with test accuracy. Otherwise, no special preparation is required.
Can I receive contraception during my wellness visit?
Yes. We can prescribe oral contraceptives, provide referrals for IUD placement, discuss all contraceptive options, or refill existing prescriptions during your wellness visit.
Will my wellness examination be covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover annual wellness examinations under preventive care benefits without patient copayment. We verify your specific coverage when scheduling your appointment.
Can I address other health concerns during my visit?
Absolutely. As primary care physicians, we address all aspects of your health including mental health, chronic conditions, acute concerns, or any other medical issues.
How do you manage menopause symptoms?
We provide treatment for menopause symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. We discuss hormone therapy, alternative medications, and lifestyle interventions.
What if I experience anxiety about the examination?
Please inform us of your concerns. We can explain each step in detail beforehand, proceed slowly, and ensure your comfort. You may request to pause or stop at any point.
