Maintaining a foundation of good health starts with eating nutritious food, getting regular exercise, and making time for checkups. The goal of the annual visit is preventive care — to keep you healthy now and in the future.

Your practitioner discusses screening tests and may perform a Pap smear or breast exam. In addition, depending on your age, you may be referred to a specialist for a mammogram.

The visit is an ideal time to ask questions about topics involving women’s wellness:

Trying to have a baby

Contraception

Irregular periods

Menopause

Safe sex and sexually transmitted diseases

Mental health issues, including depression or anxiety

As you age, you may also notice vaginal dryness and other changes in your intimate health. If you’ve tried Kegel exercises or pelvic floor training with little success, your doctor may suggest vaginal revitalization to counteract dryness and increase blood flow and sensitivity in your vaginal tissues.

Vaginal revitalization restores vaginal without surgery, hormones, or downtime. It works by sending waves of painless radio frequency (RF) energy into your vaginal tissues to boost circulation.

The treatment is quick, lasting between 15-30 minutes. Vaginal revitalization requires no downtime, so you’ll be able to get back to your day-to-day activities immediately.
