What is an Annual Exam?
An annual exam, also known as a well-woman visit, is a preventive healthcare check-up that focuses on your reproductive health and overall wellness. It is more than just a routine check-up; it’s an opportunity to discuss any health concerns, undergo necessary screenings, and receive personalized health advice.
Why is the Annual Exam Important?
Regular annual exams play a crucial role in early detection and prevention of potential health issues. During your visit at Iris Obstetrics & Gynecology, our skilled team will:
- Conduct physical and pelvic exams
- Screen for cervical cancer with a Pap smear if indicated
- Discuss contraceptive options
- Assess breast health and recommend mammograms if necessary
What to Expect During Your Visit
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and informed throughout your visit. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and any current health concerns. This is your chance to ask questions and express any worries you may have.
Physical Examination
The physical exam includes measuring your vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, as well as a thorough pelvic exam to check for any abnormalities.
Preventive Screenings
Depending on your age and health history, screenings may include a Pap smear, HPV test, or mammogram to monitor for early signs of cancer.
