What is women’s health?

Women’s health is a branch of medicine that focuses on the medical needs of women. While men and women experience many of the same health concerns, there are many medical conditions and milestones that primarily or exclusively affect women, including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.

The women’s health care specialists at Atlantic Health Medical Associates work with you to protect your feminine health as you age.

What concerns can women’s health address?

The team at Atlantic Health Medical Associates can address many women’s health concerns, including:

• Ovarian cysts
• Uterine fibroids
• Heavy bleeding
• Irregular periods
• Pregnancy prevention
• Menopause
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• Pelvic pain

With an in-house lab, the team can perform the appropriate tests and screenings to protect your gynecological health.

What does women’s health care include?

Atlantic Health Medical Associates offers several women’s health care services, including:

STD screenings

The practice offers an on-site lab that can test for STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Contraception counseling

Contraception, or birth control, prevents pregnancy. With multiple options, including pills, vaginal rings, and intrauterine devices (IUDs), the team can help determine the right option for you.

Pelvic exams

A pelvic exam is a comprehensive view of your vagina, vulva, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and rectum. During the exam, the team evaluates your reproductive structures for signs of abnormalities and may perform a Pap smear.

Pap smears

A Pap smear is a cervical cancer screening that involves collecting cells from your cervix. The team collects your sample and tests it in their on-site lab to determine whether you have abnormal cervical cells.

Bone density screenings

A bone density screening is an X-ray that evaluates your bone health and strength. Many women can benefit from bone density screenings to check for signs of osteoporosis, a chronic condition that causes porous, brittle bones.

Mammograms

Mammograms are X-rays that view breast tissue. A mammogram can detect signs of breast lumps, abnormal tissue, and cancerous lesions.

In-office labs

With an in-house lab, the team can perform bloodwork, urinalysis, skin biopsies, and stool testing on-site for your convenience.
