What happens during women’s health exams?

During women’s health visits to Alertive Healthcare Medical Group, a friendly provider greets you, weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI), and checks your blood pressure and other vital signs.

Your specialist asks about any symptoms, medications, medical history, lifestyle habits, and questions you may have.

They complete a physical exam to evaluate your overall health, including a breast exam, pelvic exam, and Pap test if necessary.

You might need blood testing, an ultrasound, a mammogram, urine testing, heart-function tests, bone density testing, STD testing, or a mental health evaluation to allow your women’s health provider to assess your overall health and well-being.
