What Do You Screen For?
-
Cervical Cancer: We perform a Pap smear to check for abnormal cells on the cervix that may indicate cervical cancer or precancerous changes. Depending on your age and history, we may also screen for HPV (human papillomavirus), which is a major risk factor for cervical cancer.
-
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Routine STI testing may include screenings for infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and others depending on your sexual history and lifestyle. These tests are confidential and are aimed at promoting early detection and treatment to protect your reproductive and overall health.
-
Breast Cancer: We assess your breast health through a clinical breast exam, and if needed, we provide referrals for mammograms. These screenings are essential for early detection of breast abnormalities, including lumps, cysts, or signs of cancer.

When Should You Get Your First PAP?
According to current medical guidelines, women should begin getting Pap smears at age 21, regardless of when they become sexually active. A Pap smear is a simple and important screening test used to detect abnormal cells on the cervix that could potentially develop into cervical cancer.
If your results are normal, Pap smears are typically recommended every three years. However, your healthcare provider may adjust the frequency based on your health history, risk factors, and whether you are also being tested for HPV (human papillomavirus), which can be done alongside the Pap test in some cases.
It’s important to remember that even if you’re not due for a Pap smear yet or are between tests, you should still come in for your annual Well Women’s Exam. These visits provide an opportunity to discuss any changes in your health, address concerns, and stay up-to-date on other important screenings and preventive care.
When Should You Get Your First Mammogram?
Most health organizations recommend that women begin having annual mammograms starting at age 40. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that helps detect early signs of breast cancer, often before any symptoms are noticeable or physical changes can be felt.
Early detection through regular screening is key to successful treatment and improved outcomes. While age 40 is the general guideline, your provider may recommend starting earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors. During your Well Women’s Exam, we’ll review your personal and family medical history to determine the best time for you to begin screenings.
Even if you’re under 40, regular clinical breast exams are an important part of your care, and we encourage you to become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel so you can recognize any changes.
Our goal is to provide personalized care that supports your health at every stage—so if you have questions or concerns about mammograms or your breast health, we’re here to guide you.
