Well Women Exams Q & A

What are well-woman exams?

Well-woman exams are the best preventive measure you can take to contribute to your general health over the course of your lifetime. Orange Blossom Women's Group provides well-woman exams for women of all ages, starting at age 12 up through age 65 and beyond.

In addition to providing a comprehensive assessment of your overall health and wellness, your annual well-woman exam also serves as a tool to direct your gynecological care. 

The depth of the exam also allows you and your provider to get to know each other better, improving your patient-provider relationship. The more you trust your provider, the more likely you are to share your health concerns and needs so you can get the most effective care and treatment. 

What happens during a well-woman exam?

The specifics of your well-woman exam depend on your age, gynecological and medical history, and current health concerns and needs. However, you can expect your provider at Orange Blossom Women's Group to conduct a thorough examination and testing to fully understand your general health and wellness needs.

During your exam, your provider reviews your gynecological, sexual, and medical history. They also ask detailed questions about your menstrual cycle and conduct a physical exam, including, pelvic and breast exams. 

Your provider may also run various health screenings, such as:

  • A Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer
  • A human papillomavirus (HPV) test (HPV is a risk factor for cervical cancer)
  • Blood testing to screen for chronic diseases such as diabetes or high cholesterol
  • Testing for sexually transmitted diseases
  • A mammogram to screen for breast cancer 
  • A bone density test to screen for osteoporosis

The team also answers any questions you may have and provides specific recommendations based on your gynecological health and wellness needs, such as contraception recommendations, vaccinations you may need, or lifestyle changes to improve your health. 

What if abnormalities are found during a well-woman exam?

Orange Blossom Women's Group is a full-service OB/GYN practice, so the providers can manage any abnormality identified during your well-woman exam. This includes specialized testing for an abnormal Pap smear, as well as in-office ultrasounds to gather more information to explain your gynecological symptoms.

The experienced team also performs minimally invasive surgery when appropriate to treat various gynecological conditions, such as removal of fibroids or treatment for endometriosis. 

Well-woman exams provide preventive care to ensure you live a healthy life. To schedule your exam, call Orange Blossom Women's Group or book an appointment using the online tool today.
