OB-GYN Primary Care

The annual well-woman visit is the center of the women’s health journey. During this time, the doctor, nurse practitioner or midwife will perform a pelvic exam and a breast exam, conduct Pap tests (also known as Pap smears), evaluate your weight, and may perform bloodwork or a urinalysis. A well-woman visit gives your provider an overall picture of your reproductive health.

An OB-GYN primary care visit offers women:

• Annual exams
• Coordination/referrals for services such as mammograms
• Family planning guidance
• Perimenopause and menopause care
• Screenings or tests for women’s health issues, such as sexually transmitted infections or diseases or cervical cancer

Some women visit their pediatricians until after college, when they transfer to a family medicine or internal medicine physician, while others will rely on their women’s health provider to serve as their sole primary care provider. A woman’s relationship with her women’s health care provider is often a lifelong connection that begins early in life, often during puberty, and continues through menopause and beyond.

Regardless of which OB-GYN provider you turn to, you’ll receive quality care from a compassionate professional when you turn to UK HealthCare. At UK HealthCare, our women’s health experts have years of experience that allows them to provide expert OB-GYN primary care.
