Women’s Health Q & A

N

What is women’s health?

Women’s health is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing health problems specific to women. While men and women may experience many of the same health issues, women’s unique reproductive systems make them susceptible to certain gender-specific complications.

Scheduling a women’s health appointment provides an excellent opportunity to have a check-up with your primary care physician. During this appointment, you can undergo preventive screenings, identify the underlying cause of any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing, and take proactive steps to improve your energy levels and overall longevity.

What are some common women’s health services?

New York Medical and Vascular Care provides various women’s health services onsite, including

Breast Health and Mammography

As you get older, you’re also more likely to develop breast cancer. Regular cancer screening, like mammography, can detect potentially serious problems early on when they respond best to treatment.

Integrative Medicine

New York Medical and Vascular Care offers several types of integrative medicine to promote mental health and reduce stress. Your provider might recommend acupuncture, aromatherapy, or massage. These treatments are non-invasive and drug-free, ensuring your comfort and safety.

Pelvic Health and Incontinence

Many women 65 and older, experience urinary incontinence. If you regularly urinate due to coughing, sneezing, or strenuous exercise, don’t wait to seek professional help. There are a variety of treatments, including pelvic exercises and medication, that can help improve your symptoms.

Do you experience leg fatigue, cramping, and pain? You might have Peripheral Vascular Disease.

Gynecology

Gynecology is a branch of women’s health focused on the reproductive system. This includes diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina, and vulva.

Mental Health and Addiction Services

If you’re living with a mental illness like substance use disorder (SUD), depression, anxiety, or bipolar, you might benefit from mental health services. Your provider can prescribe medication, or they can refer you to a counselor or psychologist in the area.

Obstetrics

Obstetrics is a specialized branch of women’s health that focuses on pregnancy and childbirth. At New York Medical and Vascular Care, we work with mothers of all ages and provide comprehensive care for both healthy and high-risk pregnancies.

Weight Management

As you age, your metabolism slows down, and your hormones fluctuate. This often results in weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Medically supervised weight management can help you shed pounds and keep you off in a healthy, natural way.

How often should I participate in women’s health?

New York Medical and Vascular Care recommends you participate in a women’s health appointment at least once a year. Even if you feel relatively healthy, it’s still important to check in.

Many serious health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, often present few obvious symptoms. That’s why regular check-ups are essential, as they can help you identify potential health issues before they worsen and become more challenging to manage.

If it’s time to schedule a women’s health appointment, contact New York Medical and Vascular Care. Call the office nearest you or book online today.
