What Is Women’s Health?

Women’s health focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of medical conditions unique to women, particularly those related to the reproductive system. While many health issues affect both men and women, women are also at risk for gender-specific conditions such as cervical cancer, hormonal imbalances, and complications related to pregnancy and menopause.

Regular women’s health checkups can help detect chronic or emerging health conditions early, when treatment is most effective. These visits also give you the chance to ask questions, discuss symptoms, and build a strong relationship with your provider.

What Services Are Included in Women’s Health?

At Lakeview Family Medicine, we provide a wide range of women’s health services tailored to every stage of life, including:

Pap Smears
A Pap smear is a preventive screening used to detect abnormal cervical cells that could indicate a risk of cervical cancer. It involves collecting a small sample from the cervix for lab analysis.

Mammograms
Mammograms are an important tool in the early detection of breast cancer. They use low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue for any signs of abnormal growths.

Family Planning & Birth Control
Whether you're avoiding pregnancy or planning for one, we provide comprehensive family planning services. Options include oral contraceptives, IUDs, and preconception counseling, as well as prenatal care for those expecting.

Menopause Management
Menopause is a natural transition but can cause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. We offer hormone replacement therapy, medication, and lifestyle guidance to help manage your symptoms and maintain quality of life.

Chronic Disease Management
Women may face increased risk for conditions like heart disease, especially during and after menopause. We offer chronic care for conditions such as high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, and diabetes, with a focus on prevention and long-term wellness.

Do I Need a Women’s Health Exam Every Year?

Yes. Our team recommends annual women’s health exams, particularly for women age 40 and older, or for anyone managing a chronic condition. Regular screenings help detect issues early—even those with few or no symptoms, such as thyroid disease or high cholesterol.

Bilingual Care Available

At Lakeview Family Medicine, we’re proud to offer Spanish-speaking providers, including Cindy and Morgan, to ensure every patient feels comfortable and supported.
