Women’s Physical Exam
We do a general check-up to review your medical history and ask about any current issues you are experiencing. We check for vital signs, heartbeat, and blood pressure.
Pap Smear
This process involves us gently scraping some cells from your cervix during a pelvic exam to help us detect any signs of cervical cancer. Women who are sexually active should have this done annually.
Pelvic Exam
These exams help detect early stages of cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, and other abnormal issues. We examine your ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina.
