Women's Health Q&A

What is women’s health?

Women’s health involves the prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of conditions unique to or common among women. Examples include:

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Menopause and premenstrual syndrome
  • Gynecological conditions
  • Breast and cervical cancers
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart problems
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Sexually transmitted diseases or infertility
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Urinary tract infections

Many of these health concerns are highly treatable when caught early, which is why routine screening and women’s wellness exams are crucial for optimal health.

What should I expect during a women’s health exam?

When you arrive for a women’s health exam at Texas Primary Care Specialists, Dr. Acharya checks your weight, pulse, and blood pressure. The team reviews your medical history and health concerns and completes a physical exam.

Your exam might include a pelvic exam and Pap smear. During a pelvic exam, Dr. Acharya evaluates your internal female organs to make sure they appear normal.

A speculum is inserted into the vagina to take a sample of cervical cells. Dr. Acharya sends the cells to a lab for analysis to screen you for cervical cancer or human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease.

Dr. Acharya may also check your breasts for signs of breast cancer or recommend a mammogram. If you’re interested in birth control to prevent pregnancy, the team reviews your options to find a solution that best matches your needs.

Which treatment might I require?

Based on the results of your women's health exam, the Texas Primary Care Specialists team may recommend more treatment. If you have a gynecological or other health condition, you might require:

  • Further gynecological testing, such as a biopsy
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Medications for a gynecological condition or chronic disease
  • Hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms
  • Infertility treatments
  • Referral to a specialist

Dr. Acharya may suggest making lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of developing a chronic disease. 

How often should I schedule a women’s wellness exam?

Dr. Acharya lets you know how often to schedule a women’s health checkup and Pap smear based on your personalized health care needs. Scheduling a wellness exam every year is a good rule of thumb.
