Women's Health & Family Planning in the Bronx, NY
Women's health care covers the yearly well-woman visit, birth control, screening for cervical and breast cancer, and the everyday questions about periods, fertility and menopause that deserve a real answer. You can get most of it from your primary care doctor, in the same office where the rest of your health is handled.
Who this is for
- Women due for a well-woman visit or cervical cancer screening
- Anyone who wants to start, change or stop birth control
- Patients planning a pregnancy who want a preconception check
- Women with irregular, heavy or painful periods
- Patients approaching or going through menopause
- Anyone who needs a referral for a mammogram or to a gynecologist
What happens at the visit
A conversation first
Your doctor asks about your cycle, your birth control, your plans around pregnancy and anything that's been bothering you. Nothing here is too small to mention.
Exam and screening
Vitals, a physical exam, and cervical cancer screening or a clinical breast exam when they're due based on your age and history.
Labs
Bloodwork may include anemia, thyroid, blood sugar, and STI screening when appropriate. Pregnancy testing is available.
Birth control and family planning
Your doctor walks through the options, how each one works, what it does to your cycle, and what fits your life. Prescriptions go to your pharmacy the same day.
Referrals when you need them
Mammography, gynecology, prenatal care or a specialist — your doctor arranges the referral and follows up on results.
