Women's Health Q & A

What is women’s health?

Women’s health focuses on the wide range of medical needs that arise throughout a woman’s life. The team at Princeton Sports and Family Medicine, P.C. helps women, adolescents, and young girls manage a variety of health issues, including:

Abnormal menstrual cycles, including heavy bleeding and irregular periods
Premenstrual syndrome
Contraception, including birth control pills
Breast exams
Menopause and perimenopause
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human papillomavirus (HPV)
Osteoporosis (weakened bones)

What are common women’s health conditions?

Aside from pregnancy and childbirth, many health issues are unique to a woman’s body. Common gynecological conditions include:

Endometriosis
Pelvic pain
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Irregular periods
Uterine fibroids
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

The signs and symptoms of women’s health problems depend on the specific condition. You can feel comfortable sharing with your Princeton Sports and Family Medicine, P.C. provider any concerns you may have about heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or missed periods.

What procedures and treatments does women’s health entail?

The foundation of women’s health at Princeton Sports and Family Medicine, P.C. is the annual well-woman exam.

During these visits, your provider reviews your medical history and performs a physical and pelvic exam. They also perform a breast exam and make sure you know how to do this on your own.

Depending on your needs, they may also take a Pap test and urine test. A Pap test involves swabbing your cervix to collect a sample of cells for lab testing. All women age 21 and older should get a Pap test at least every 3-5 years to screen for cervical cancer.

If you have signs or symptoms of a gynecological condition, or if the Pap test comes back with abnormal results, the team at Princeton Sports and Family Medicine, P.C. may refer you to a specialist for additional testing and treatment.
