Why Choose Regular Well Woman Exams?

Regular well woman care provides essential protection and guidance that can literally save your life. Here are the key benefits that make these visits indispensable:

Early Detection Saves Lives

Cervical cancer screening through pap smears has reduced cervical cancer deaths by 70%. Routine breast exams and mammogram referrals catch breast cancer in early, treatable stages.

Personalized Care for Your Unique Needs

Your healthcare provider tailors discussions to your reproductive health, mental health concerns, family history, and current life stage, whether you’re planning pregnancy, managing menopause, or addressing sexual health questions.

Comprehensive Health Beyond Reproductive Care

Monitoring includes blood pressure checks, bone health assessment, screening for high blood pressure, diabetes testing, and evaluation for chronic diseases that disproportionately affect women.

Expert Guidance on Health Decisions

Professional counseling covers birth control options, prepregnancy counseling, family planning, menopause management, and lifestyle modifications to reduce health risks based on your family’s medical history.

How Your Well Woman Exam Works

Your well woman exam follows a systematic approach designed to address your complete health picture through four essential steps:

Step 1:

Comprehensive History Review

Your visit begins with a detailed discussion of your medical history, family history, medications, gynecologic history, sexual history, and current health concerns. This comprehensive history helps identify risk factors and guides appropriate screening recommendations.

Step 2:

Physical Examination and Vital Signs

Your doctor performs a thorough physical exam including blood pressure measurement, body mass index calculation, and age-appropriate assessments of your heart, lungs, thyroid, and skin. This establishes baseline health markers and identifies potential health problems.

Step 3:

Recommended Screenings and Tests

Based on your age and risk factors, you’ll receive appropriate cancer screenings like pap smears, HPV tests, clinical breast exams, and referrals for mammograms or colorectal cancer screening. Additional screening tests may include STI testing if you’re sexually active.

Step 4:

Health Counseling and Next Steps

Your doctor will discuss the results with you, provide health education, address emotional health concerns, and develop personalized recommendations for disease prevention. You’ll schedule follow-up care and receive guidance on maintaining optimal health habits between visits.

What Our Patients In Andover Are Saying

I only just had my first visit with Dr Fager today and even before I have results of any kind, already I have never felt so heard by a physician, and never have I felt so trustworthy of a doctor before. Not only is the quality of care a plus, but the affordability of labs is also unbeatable. Wonderful staff as well!

–– Kathryn W.

Healthcare how it should be! I’ve received exactly the care I hoped for from this wonderful clinic. Dr. Fager and Sarah are knowledgeable and compassionate. I love the DPC model because I hate all the hoops insurance companies make you jump through. So far it has been super affordable including the medications, lab work, office visits, and X-ray I had completed. Integrity Medicine is a gem for the Andover community!

–– Madison B.

Amazing care from Dr. Fager. I had injured myself on a Sunday and she came in on her day off to help me with no hesitation. She took her time with my facial stitches and now a week later no one can tell that I even had them! She invests herself in each patient and even messaged me asking about my progress. Dr. Fager truly dedicates herself to her patient’s well-being like no other doctor I’ve encountered.

–– Sarah B.
