If you are a woman and have symptoms or concerns about your health, reach out to Passion Health Primary Care.
A well-woman exam supports a woman’s long-term health. This annual visit involves a discussion of your lifestyle, catches you up on important screenings, and checks the health of your pelvic organs.
The exam usually includes a pelvic exam, during which your provider checks your uterus, vagina, and other palpable organs and performs a Pap smear. A Pap smear is an important preventive screening for cervical cancer. Your well-woman exam also includes a clinical breast exam.
You can also schedule an appointment at Passion Health Primary Care to discuss any symptoms or concerns you have regarding your health. These include:
The providers at Passion Health Primary Care also welcome questions about your sexual health, including birth control or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). You can request an STD test at any time.

STD testing is also available but isn’t considered “routine.” Request it if you have symptoms like itching, warts on your genitals, an unusual discharge, or if you are sexually active.

Women’s health affects every stage of life—hormones, heart health, bone health, mental wellness, fertility, and longevity.

Chronic stress can worsen sleep, weight, blood pressure, hormones, and mental health, and can increase inflammation in the body.
Midlife is a key time to prevent future problems by focusing on heart health, bone density, weight, sleep, and mental wellness.
