A well-woman exam is an annual physical exam geared toward your needs as a woman. They’re an excellent opportunity for you to check in on your health and discuss your concerns with a trusted gynecologist like Dr. Robins.
In addition to checking your basic vitals like blood pressure, heart rate, and lung function, Dr. Robins also performs pelvic exams, Pap smears, and breast exams. If you’re due for a mammogram, he offers convenient in-office 3D mammograms.
Dr. Robins also offers discreet STD testing and can diagnose other menstrual and reproductive problems during your well-woman exam.
If you’re experiencing severe PMS or abnormal periods, which can include heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, or severe cramping, Dr. Robins can run tests such as blood work, ultrasounds, and hysteroscopies to diagnose the condition causing your symptoms. Depending on the condition, you might benefit from hormonal birth control or an in-office procedure to remove abnormal growths or tissue, such as endometrial ablation or loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP). Some women benefit from a mild anti-depressant to reduce severe PMS symptoms.
Every woman’s situation is unique when it comes to birth control methods. Dr. Robins discusses your needs, lifestyle, and plans for having a family when helping you decide which birth control method is right for you. Dr. Robins offers a range of choices, including:
For women who are done having children or don’t want children, Dr. Robins also offers Essure® as a sterilization alternative to a tubal ligation. With Essure, he places small metal coils in your fallopian tubes which form scar tissue and prevent your eggs from reaching your uterus.
