Gynecology exams are a crucial aspect of a woman’s health, allowing early detection and prevention of various reproductive and hormonal conditions. However, many women may experience fear or discomfort surrounding gynecological procedures, which can often result in neglecting these essential check-ups. At Patients Medical in New York City, we combine integrative medicine with traditional gynecology to provide a holistic and thorough approach. Our focus is on understanding the root causes of your gynecological issues, managing symptoms naturally, and offering a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan for your overall health and well-being.
A gynecology exam is a medical procedure performed to assess a woman’s reproductive health. It involves a variety of checks, including physical examination, screenings, and tests, to monitor and detect any potential issues in the female reproductive system. These exams can include:
A traditional pelvic exam allows your provider to assess the health of your reproductive organs—including the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and vagina.
Functional enhancement: We may also assess signs of pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic inflammation, or hormonal imbalances that can affect menstrual cycles or sexual health.
This screening detects early changes in cervical cells that could lead to cervical cancer. It’s recommended every 3 years for most women starting at age 21.
Functional insight: For patients with abnormal results, we explore underlying immune or viral triggers, including persistent HPV, nutrient deficiencies, or toxic exposures.
A clinical breast exam checks for lumps, skin changes, or discharge. This may be paired with imaging (mammogram or ultrasound) depending on age and risk.
Functional approach: We evaluate estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, and inflammatory markers that may influence breast health.
Human papillomavirus testing is often done alongside a Pap test for women over 30. Persistent HPV can increase cancer risk.
Integrative care: We boost immune response through nutrition, herbal antivirals, and detox support when HPV is detected.
Comprehensive screening for sexually transmitted infections is essential for sexually active individuals, especially if there are new partners or symptoms.
Whole-body view: We assess vaginal microbiome balance, recurring infections, and inflammation levels that may impact long-term reproductive health.
