Visit your primary care provider, gynecologist or midwife every year for a well-woman visit. This routine check-up focuses on preventive care. It may include:

• Discussion of your health habits and history
• Guidance on ways to protect or improve your health
• Immunizations
• Physical exam, including a clinical breast exam and a pelvic exam
• Screening tests

Screening tests find problems before you have symptoms. That means they can detect disease early, so you can start care sooner. Access a full range of screening tests for women at Corewell Health, including:

• Blood tests to screen for high cholesterol, diabetes and other conditions
• Breast cancer screening
• Cervical cancer screening
• Colon cancer screening
• Osteoporosis screening
• Sexually transmitted infection (STI) tests

Talk to your primary care provider about which tests are right for you and when you should have them. The screenings you need are based on your age, health, lifestyle and family history.
