Annual Well - Woman Examination
Your annual well-woman visit is an excellent opportunity to take control of your health and prevent serious problems, such as cervical cancer.
Even if you feel healthy and don’t have any symptoms that need medical diagnosis and attention, an annual well-woman exam is still critical to your health and well-being. A well-woman exam is an opportunity to take time out for yourself, check in on your health, and have tests to screen for signs of diseases that may not cause symptoms in their early stages.
Conditions like high blood pressure, cervical cancer, diabetes, and STDs don’t cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Routine health screenings are the only way to diagnose these conditions early so you can make lifestyle modifications and get the treatment you need to improve and protect your health.
For example, high blood pressure is an early warning sign and cause of heart disease. However, when high blood pressure is diagnosed early, you can change your diet and exercise habits to lower your blood pressure, improve your health, and reduce your risk of serious illness.
What happens at your well-woman exam depends on factors such as your age and medical history.
