Women's Wellness Exam

A women’s wellness exam consists of a comprehensive health assessment, including a review of medical and family history, physical examination, breast and pelvic exams, and relevant screening tests. It may also involve counseling on birth control, mental health, and lifestyle-related risk factors.

During the exam, a healthcare provider evaluates vital signs, performs physical and reproductive health checks, and discusses preventive care. It typically includes a breast exam and pelvic exam and may involve a Pap smear or lab work, depending on age and risk.

A Pap smear is a specific test that screens for cervical cancer by collecting cells from the cervix. A well-woman exam is a full preventive checkup that may include a Pap smear along with other assessments of overall women’s health.
