Why is women’s health care important?
Women’s health addresses issues women face, particularly those related to the female reproductive system. These include:
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Menopause
- Irregular or heavy menstruation
- Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancer
Women can also depend on MEDI Care Clinics for treatments for conditions like osteoporosis, breast cancer, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The team can assist you with family planning, fertility issues, choosing contraception, or diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Well-woman exams at regular intervals protect your health.
What can I expect during a women’s health appointment?
To provide you with comprehensive care, the MEDI Care Clinics team will discuss your medical history and lifestyle and may also include:
- A physical examination
- Screening for cervical cancer
- Pelvic or breast exams
- Screening for human papillomavirus (HPV)
Your screenings will depend on your medical and family histories, age, and any applicable risk factors. For example, if you are over 40, you should begin regular mammograms.
This is the perfect time to bring up any questions or concerns you have. If you’ve been struggling with menopause-related lethargy, low libido, weight gain, or poor sleep, the team may recommend hormone replacement therapy.
How can hormone replacement therapy support women’s health?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can supplement your body’s natural hormones to ensure your system is in balance. Men and women respond well to treatments like Biote®, a form of pellet therapy that the MEDI Care Clinics team offers.
Hormone replacement therapy offers a wide range of benefits, including:
Relief from menopause symptoms
Imbalanced hormones are responsible for many troublesome menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and poor sleep. Correcting the underlying imbalance provides effective relief during this important time of transition.
Support for bone health
Women are at risk for osteoporosis as estrogen declines, so BHRT can reduce your risk of fractures and hospitalization.
Greater emotional well-being
Fluctuating hormones can make you irritable and anxious. BHRT restores your sense of balance and control.
Improved cognitive function
If you have been frustrated by memory issues or disrupted concentration, this treatment can support mental clarity.
The MEDI Care Clinics team can carefully customize your hormone replacement therapy to your unique needs.
