Annual Well Women’s Exams Specialist in Columbia, MD and Greenbelt, MD

Annual well-woman exams exist as a form of preventive care. It’s recommended women complete a full checkup every year as a way to track growth and development as well as keep an eye out for any health conditions that may cause problems in the future. Even if you’re a healthy individual, your body may not show any signs of damage. It’s important to learn as much as you can through a well-woman exam to properly prepare for the next phase in life.

Dr. Okasi is a knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly physician. During an annual exam, she will check all facets of women’s wellness in order to ensure your body is functioning at its top capacity. Your annual well-woman exam may include:

• Physical Exams
• Pelvic Exams
• Review of Medical History
• Updates of Family Medical History
• Updates of Current Medication and Health Concerns
• Health Screenings (mammograms, sexually transmitted disease checks, cancer tests)

Physical examinations, such as a pelvic test, can be done with minimal wait time between results. More invasive tests, such as cervical cancer screening (Pap test), blood work, and sexually transmitted disease testing, can take up to a week to deliver results. Further exams, such as mammograms, are generally obtained within 30 days unless a complication arises. The medical staff at Women’s Wellness MD will contact you directly if there are any concerns. Results can also be viewed in the comfort of your home via our online patient portal.

Don’t panic! This is the reason you came to Dr. Okasi in the first place. If the results of the examination reveal a new medical condition, you’ll be taken care of by Dr. Okasi and the staff at Women’s Wellness MD.

Depending on the issue, further tests may be required to verify the condition at hand. Non-severe problems are dealt with at your convenience, while more serious issues require a schedule of tests and treatments. Don’t be scared to tell Dr. Okasi everything about your current and past medical history, as it could save your life. For more information, contact us or request an appointment online.
