Key Components of Well Woman Check-ups with Dr. Nirmala Murthy:

1. Medical History Review: Dr. Murthy begins the check-up by reviewing the patient's medical history, including any existing medical conditions, past surgeries, medications, family medical history, and lifestyle factors.
2. Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination is performed, including measurements of vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight. Dr. Nirmala Murthy examines various body systems, including the breasts, abdomen, and pelvic region, to assess overall health and detect any abnormalities.
3. Pelvic Examination: Pelvic examinations are an essential component of Well Woman Check-ups, allowing Dr. Murthy to assess the health of the reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. This examination may include a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer and other tests such as HPV testing or vaginal swabs as indicated.
4. Breast Examination: Breast examinations are performed to evaluate breast health and detect any lumps, abnormalities, or changes in breast tissue. Dr. Nirmala Murthy may teach patients how to perform breast self-examinations and discuss the importance of regular mammograms for breast cancer screening.
5. Screening Tests: Depending on age, medical history, and risk factors, Dr. Murthy may recommend various screening tests during the Well Woman Check-up. This may include blood tests such as cholesterol screening, thyroid function tests, diabetes screening, or tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
