Well Women Exam
What is a well-woman exam?
A well-woman exam is an annual visit to monitor your gynecological health. While the exam itself changes as you age, you can experience a series of physical exams, tests, and screenings that help prevent and protect you against certain gynecological conditions.
Your annual well-woman exam at Eighth Avenue Obstetrics and Gynecology is also the perfect time to ask your doctor questions about your sexual health and development, contraceptive use, and more.
What can I expect from my adult well-woman exams?
Once you turn 21, you can expect a number of changes to your annual well-woman exams. In addition to regular breast examinations and pelvic exams, Eighth Avenue Obstetrics and Gynecology advises coming in for a Pap smear at least once every three years. This vital test checks for abnormal cancerous cells in your cervix and can help detect the early signs of cervical cancer.
As you age, you can expect your well-woman exam to include different screenings and tests. After the age of 40, your doctor may recommend regular mammograms to check your breast health.
Women ages 65 and older can often stop returning for cervical cancer screenings altogether if they’ve had three clean Pap smears in a row. If you’re over the age of 65, however, Eighth Avenue Obstetrics and Gynecology advises visiting for regular bone density scans to check for any signs of osteoporosis.
