Cervical Cancer Screenings, Birth Control Services & More
Annual Exams & Other Services at TrueCare Medical
Annual Women's Wellness Exams
Your annual women's wellness exam is the foundation of your preventive care. During this visit, your provider will review your medical history, check your vital signs, and talk with you about any concerns on your mind. It's also when screenings like pap smear tests are typically performed, along with any lab work appropriate for your age and health history. Think of it as your yearly health reset: a dedicated time to check in, catch anything that needs attention, and leave with a clear picture of where your health stands.
Pap Smear Tests & Cervical Cancer Screening
A pap smear is a simple test that checks for abnormal cells on the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It's a key part of cervical cancer screening, and it's performed during your wellness exam. The test itself takes just a few minutes, and catching any cell changes early means treatment is far simpler and more effective. Current guidelines generally recommend a pap smear every three years for women ages 21 to 65, or every five years when combined with an HPV test. Your provider will let you know what's right for you based on your age and health history.
Birth Control Options for Women
There are many birth control options for women, and the right one depends on your health, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences. At TrueCare Medical, your provider will walk you through the options available to you, including oral contraceptives, hormonal injections, patches, and other methods, and help you find an approach that fits your life. If you're currently using a method and want to reconsider your options, your wellness visit is a great time to have that conversation.
Understanding Menopause & Your Options
Menopause Care at TrueCare Medical
Menopause is a natural transition, but for many women, it doesn't feel that way. Hot flashes, sleep disruptions, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods are all common symptoms, and they can significantly affect your quality of life. The good news is that you don't have to just push through it. There are effective options available to help manage your symptoms and support your health through this transition.
When Does Menopause Start?
Menopause officially begins 12 months after your last menstrual period, typically occurring in the late 40s to early 50s. The period leading up to menopause, called perimenopause, can last several years and is often when symptoms first appear. During perimenopause, hormone levels fluctuate and cycles may become irregular before stopping altogether. Some women experience significant symptoms during this phase, while others notice very few changes.
How TrueCare Medical Can Help
At TrueCare Medical, our team takes a compassionate, individualized approach to menopause care. Your provider will talk with you about the symptoms you're experiencing, review your health history, and discuss your options. Treatment approaches vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and your overall health, and our team will help you understand the considerations of each option so you can make a confident, informed decision. Whether you're just beginning to notice changes or you're well into the transition and looking for better support, we're here to help you navigate menopause with the care and guidance you deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you get a Pap smear?
Current guidelines generally recommend a pap smear test every three years for women ages 21 to 65. For women 30 and older, a combined pap smear and HPV test every five years is another option. If you have a history of abnormal pap smear results or certain risk factors, your provider may recommend more frequent cervical cancer screening. The best way to know what's right for you is to talk with your provider at your next women's wellness exam, where they can give you a personalized recommendation based on your age and health history.
What birth control options for women does TrueCare Medical offer?
TrueCare Medical can help you explore a range of birth control methods, including oral contraceptives, hormonal injections, patches, and other methods. Every woman's needs are different, and the right choice depends on your health, your lifestyle, and your personal priorities. During your visit, your provider will walk you through your options, answer your questions honestly, and help you find a method that works well for you. If you're currently using a birth control method and it's not the right fit, that's also a great conversation to have.
What is cervical cancer screening and why does it matter?
Cervical cancer screening refers to testing that looks for abnormal cells on the cervix before they have a chance to develop into cancer. The most common form is the pap smear, which can identify cell changes at an early, highly treatable stage. Cervical cancer is largely preventable when screening is done regularly, and abnormalities are caught and addressed promptly. It's one of the most important reasons to keep up with your annual women's wellness exam, even when you feel completely healthy.
