What is Covered in a Well-woman Exam
A well-woman exam is a proactive approach to maintaining your health and catching concerns early. These annual visits are tailored to your age, health history, and personal needs. They’re also an opportunity to build a relationship with your provider, ask questions, and feel heard.
Depending on your age and risk factors, your exam may include:
