What does a women’s health exam consist of?

At San Ramon Urgent Care & Clinic, a women’s health exam consists of two main parts: The pelvic exam and the clinical breast exam. The goal of these tests is to verify your current state of health and check for possible health issues.

The exam also includes a discussion of overall health, help with birth control and family planning, and other types of customized care as needed. Tests such as pap smears and STD screenings can also be done during your women’s health exam if needed. Dr. Maheshwari may also recommend that you schedule a mammogram following your clinical breast exam.
