Women's Health Specialist

What is women's health?

Women's health is medical care that emphasizes the unique needs of females at every stage of life. At Raritan Family Healthcare, the experienced providers act as your medical home, which means they manage virtually all of your health needs. 

Women have different needs than men, and their needs can change quite a bit from adolescence to adulthood and senior years. The supportive and caring providers at Raritan Family Healthcare meet all of your health needs as a woman using a highly customized and compassionate approach.

What types of women's health services are available?

Women's health services include:

General health monitoring and testing

General health monitoring includes annual physical exams, health screenings, and diagnostic tests. The exact tests you may need depend on your stage of life, your risk factors, your lifestyle, and other individual aspects of your life. 

You may need tests to check for diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), and high cholesterol on a regular basis. Women are at an especially high risk for certain diseases like osteoporosis, so you may need other tests as you age.

Preventive care

Preventive care helps you to avoid communicable diseases, Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other serious health problems. 

Your preventive care may include immunizations, medical weight loss, weight management, lifestyle changes, medication, smoking cessation, and other measures to protect your health. 

Gynecological care

Gynecological care focuses on your reproductive system. Your gynecological women's health services may include pelvic exams, clinical breast exams, mammograms, Pap smears, HPV testing, menopause support, birth control, hormone replacement, and any other reproductive care you need.

Along with routine and preventive care, you can also count on Raritan Family Healthcare for on-demand care of new issues. 

For example, if you're having new issues like abnormal periods, chronic fatigue, headaches, hair loss, weight gain, or any other health problem, you can request a same-day appointment to get medical attention that's customized for your needs as a woman.

With Raritan Family Healthcare as your medical home, you can count on individualized women's health care from providers who really know your personal history and health needs well.
