About Women Ob-Gyn can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle through every age and stage of your life. We customize the visit to your needs and medical history, but the visit typically includes a pelvic exam with pap test and a breast exam. If you are over age 40, we will also perform a screening for colon cancer. Depending on your age, we will evaluate the need for mammography and bone density studies. We can also answer any questions you may have, including options for contraception or hormone therapy if appropriate.
We encourage you to talk with your doctor about how often you should receive a pap test. Guidelines recommend that you receive a pap test every three years. However, certain factors may necessitate that you receive one more often – those factors including medical history, age, and a doctor’s recommendation.
Please check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and benefits.
