National Women’s Health Month: Prioritize Your Annual GYN Exam

May is National Women’s Health Month, a time to highlight women’s unique health needs and encourage proactive steps toward lifelong wellness. At Rhett Women’s Center, we’re proud to support and care for women at every stage of life; there’s no better time to prioritize your health than with your annual GYN exam.

Why Your Annual GYN Exam Matters

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to put off routine appointments. But your annual gynecological exam is far more than just a check-in—it’s vital to maintaining your overall health. Regular visits help detect potential issues early, monitor changes in your body, and give you the opportunity to discuss any concerns with your provider in a safe, supportive environment.

At Rhett Women’s Center, your wellness is our top priority. Whether it’s reviewing your reproductive health, discussing hormonal changes, managing symptoms of menopause, or screening for conditions like cervical cancer or osteoporosis, our team is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

What to Expect During Your Annual Exam

Your annual exam is personalized to your age, medical history, and health goals. Here’s what may be included:

  • Pelvic and breast exams to assess your reproductive and breast health
  • Pap smear and HPV testing for cervical cancer screening (as recommended by guidelines)
  • STI screening, if appropriate for your age and lifestyle
  • Birth control and family planning consultations
  • Menopause management and hormone health support
  • Discussion of menstrual irregularities, pain, or other symptoms
  • General wellness check, including weight, blood pressure, and lab work if needed

 

Take Control of Your Health This May

If it’s been over a year since your last exam, now is the perfect time to schedule one. Prioritizing your health isn’t just about preventing illness—it’s about empowering yourself to live fully and feel your best.

At Rhett Women’s Center, we’re a compassionate team dedicated to helping you thrive—this month and every month. Call us today or book online to schedule your annual exam. Let’s make this Women’s Health Month the start of a healthier, more empowered you.
