Women's Health Q & A

A comprehensive well-woman exam does more than provide your yearly gynecological examination; annual exams focus on preventive health care.

When your doctor detects subtle changes hinting at a problem at an early stage, you can prevent or treat them long before they turn into a significant condition. Your doctor can identify these changes when you go in for routine health care.

Here's one more good reason to schedule an annual physical: This is dedicated time to talk with your doctor - whether you have concerns about your sex life, weight loss, or dealing with anxiety.

Your annual exam includes all of the basics of preventive health care.

Your doctor measures your weight, blood pressure, and heart rate and checks your heart and lungs. Your doctor may also order lab tests to check for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and thyroid conditions.

During a well-woman exam, you also receive some or all of the following services:

Breast exam
Pelvic exam with Pap smear
Blood tests, as required
Screening for chronic diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure
Family planning, including preconception counseling and birth control
Testing for sexually transmitted diseases
Risk assessment for osteoporosis

Depending on your age and overall health, your doctor at Boerne Family Medicine may recommend immunizations or specialized screenings, such as a mammogram to look for breast cancer.

Medicine provide many other services that you may want to include during your checkup:
