A pelvic exam is a necessary part of women’s wellness visits. These exams allow Dr. Nguyen to check for tissue abnormalities in your vagina and part of the cervix.
A Pap smear is also done during a pelvic exam. This screening uses a small number of cervical cells to search for signs of cellular changes. It’s a powerful tool in detecting cervical cancer.
A breast exam looks for tissue changes in your breast tissue and teaches you how to examine your own breasts at home between visits to United Internal Medicine.
