Well Woman Exam Q&A

What is a well-woman exam?

A well-woman exam is a preventive visit that you should schedule even if you don’t have unusual symptoms or concerns about your health. This visit provides an opportunity to identify potential conditions that can interfere with your reproductive or sexual health in the earliest stages.

Eveskare provides well-woman exams for adult women and adolescent girls. Dr. Panchamukhi assesses your physical, emotional, reproductive, and sexual health during the exam and can provide resources you can use to improve your overall wellness.

What happens during a well-woman exam?

During your initial well-woman exam at Eveskare, you can expect to discuss your existing health, lifestyle, diet, and sexual history. Dr. Panchamukhi also reviews your personal and family medical histories to identify potential risk factors for gynecological conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Your visit also includes a pelvic exam, so Dr. Panchamukhi can evaluate the health of your cervix and other reproductive organs. She also examines your breasts for lumps or other signs of cancer. For women aged 40 and over and those with increased cancer risk factors, Dr. Panchamukhi can refer you for a mammogram.

Pap smears are also an important part of a well-woman exam. Dr. Panchamukhi collects cell samples from your cervix and evaluates them under a microscope to identify changes that increase your risk for cervical cancer.

A well-woman exam may also include:

  • Blood testing
  • Immunizations
  • Emotional and mental wellness evaluation
  • STD screenings

Dr. Panchamukhi also provides resources you can use to improve your nutrition, maintain a healthy weight, and lower your risk factors for disease.

If you have concerns about your reproductive or sexual health, such as pain with sex, menopause-related hot flashes, or menstrual disorders, Dr. Panchamukhi can discuss them with you during your appointment.

How often do I need a well-woman exam?

Women and teens should have annual well-woman exams, so Dr. Panchamukhi can track changes in your reproductive health from one year to the next.

If you have existing health issues that require ongoing care, you may need more frequent visits to monitor your progress with treatment. Dr. Panchamukhi may also recommend STD screenings more than once a year if you have multiple sexual partners or any time you have unprotected sex.
