What should I expect during women’s health exams?

A Toseg Medical Center expert often completes the following during women’s health exams:

Vital signs check

Your primary care provider weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI), and evaluates your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

They also review your medical history, including your medications, personal and family history of disease, symptoms you may have, and your lifestyle habits.

Physical exam

During a physical exam, your women’s health specialist assesses your eyes, ears, breathing, heartbeat, abdomen, and more. They also offer breast exams to screen for breast cancer and a pelvic exam, including a Pap test, to screen for signs of cervical cancer.

Diagnostic tests

Based on your health history and disease risk factors, your specialist may suggest certain diagnostic tests, such as blood tests, urine testing, a mammogram, pelvic ultrasound, or other imaging procedures. 

Treatment

If you’re in good health, you probably don’t require any treatment. If your provider finds that certain changes could be made to improve your health, you might need to make lifestyle changes, undergo minor procedures, see a specialist, or try medications, dietary supplements, or hormone replacement therapy. 

Toseg Medical Center also offers birth control and vaccinations for women.
