Study Notes

Well-Woman Visit: Article 1

  • A comprehensive history is crucial for a well-woman visit, including symptoms, medications, allergies, medical, surgical, family, social, and gynecological history.
  • Questions about reproductive, sexual, and mental health should be included using appropriate screening tools.
  • Well-woman care visits should address bone health, vulvovaginal symptoms, and sexual health throughout a woman's lifespan.
  • Lifestyle factors like smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity negatively impact women's health including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers.

Well-Woman Visit: Article 2

  • Pelvic examinations are generally recommended when indicated by medical history or symptoms (e.g., cervical dysplasia, malignancy).
  • A pelvic examination is not routinely necessary for prescribing contraception (except for IUDs).
  • Evidence suggests that pelvic examinations in asymptomatic women do not decrease ovarian cancer morbidity and mortality.
  • Potential benefits include early detection of treatable conditions.
  • Screening harms may include reports of fear, anxiety, embarrassment, and pain (10% to 80% of women).

Updated Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines: Article 3

  • Screening should start at age 21, remaining unchanged for average-risk 21-29-year-olds and those over 65.
  • Three options for cervical cancer screening are now available for 30–65-year-olds: primary hrHPV testing every 5 years; cervical cytology alone every 3 years; or co-testing every 5 years.

Utility of Routine Pelvic Examination

  • Traditionally, a pelvic exam is performed in asymptomatic women as a screening tool for gynecologic cancer, infection, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
  • ACOG recommends periodic pelvic exams when indicated by medical history or symptoms.
  • The decision to perform a pelvic exam should be a shared one between the patient and provider.
  • If not performed, a well-woman visit with a physician at least once yearly is still necessary for women.
  • Guidelines from the USPSTF indicate that sufficient evidence does not exist for the benefits of this routine screening procedure in women.
