Getting an annual physical examination is an important part of your health care.
We encourage you to maintain a relationship with a primary care physician, but special wellness visits with your OB-GYN can provide helpful information as you go through the various stages of life.
Our physical exams include getting your height and weight as well as noting any changes in your lifestyle that could impact your health. We also perform a urinalysis and blood tests, and perform a pelvic exam, breast exams and pap test when recommended.
This visit is also an opportunity to discuss your family health history, your personal health history and any concerns or symptoms you may be having.
Visit the ACOG website for a list of suggested topics to discuss at your next visit.
