Women should start undergoing annual breast and pelvic exams at 18. We provide a warm and comfortable environment where women can discuss their most intimate concerns and receive comprehensive wellness exams that include confidential consultations, physical examinations, breast examinations, pelvic examinations, and pap smears. Women’s wellness exams in Katy help us rule out conditions and diseases that affect the female reproductive system, thus helping you lead a healthy life.
Confidential Consultation
Your women’s wellness exams start with a confidential consultation with Dr. Anyaoku. Once you arrive at the clinic, we will take your weight, height, and blood pressure. Dr. Anyaoku will ask questions about your overall health, sexual health, menstrual cycle, lifestyle, and medications. She will also ask about your family’s medical history, whether you’ve been pregnant before, and other questions that allow her to better understand your concerns.
Physical Examination
After a detailed and thorough consultation, Dr. Anyaoku will initiate your physical examination. The physical examination includes using special tools to listen to your heart rate, respiratory health, lungs, and throat. The doctor will also check for signs of thyroid problems and examine your neck, head, and abdomen. The physical exam allows the doctor to identify potential health conditions that need to be addressed.
Breast Examination
The breast exam is an important component of women’s wellness exams because it allows the doctor to identify signs of breast cancer. The doctor for your wellness exams in Katy will examine you to check for lumps or other irregularities. She will also instruct you on how to check for lumps and signs of breast cancer yourself.
Pelvic Examination
The pelvic exam allows the doctor to identify signs of cancer. The doctor will examine you to check for possible irregularities such as inflammation, discharge, redness, and swelling in the vaginal area. An internal exam is also performed to evaluate your cervix, uterus, and ovaries.
Pap Smear
The pap smear is a painless procedure wherein a metallic or plastic device called a speculum is used to visualize the inside of the cervix. During this exam, the cells around the cervix are collected and sent to an external laboratory for testing. This can help us identify the early stages of cancer.
