What are the benefits of women’s health exams?

Attending annual women’s health exams offers a variety of benefits for your health. The exams allow Dr. Rastegar to rule out or detect medical problems before complications develop. She customizes women’s health exams, tailoring them to your unique needs.

What should I expect during a women’s health exam?

During women’s wellness checkups at Be Well Medical, friendly providers check your body weight, blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs to screen for disease risk factors. 

Dr. Rastegar discusses your medical history, including any medications you take and symptoms you have. She assesses your overall health during a comprehensive physical exam. She evaluates your vision, reflexes, breathing, heartbeat, neck, abdomen, and more. 

Dr. Rastegar also offers pelvic exams and Pap tests to screen for signs of cervical cancer.

She could suggest you complete blood tests, urine tests, heart-function testing, ultrasounds, bone density scans, mammograms, or other imaging procedures to detect or rule out common women’s health conditions.
