What should I expect during women’s health appointments?
During your women’s health appointment at Wagon Healthcare, your primary care specialist reviews your medical history and symptoms you might have. They evaluate your weight, blood pressure, and other vital signs and complete a physical examination (in person or virtually) to detect possible health problems.
Your provider may recommend you undergo blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound, tissue swabs, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan as needed.
Will I require treatment?
If you’re in good health, you don’t necessarily need treatment, but your women’s health specialist might suggest preventive solutions to keep you healthy. Your personalized treatment plan might include:
- Contraception/family planning
- Health education
- Diet or exercise plans
- Weight loss
- Vaccinations
- Nutritional supplements
- Medications
- IV therapy
- Additional diagnostic testing
- Specialist referrals
Your Wagon Healthcare provider may recommend multiple treatments to optimize your health and give you the best outcome. They can refer out to qualified specialists as needed and follow up with them regarding your care.
