Annual exams for women are your key to a happy and healthy life!

Central Clinic for Women was founded by women for women, and our all-female team of physicians is here to ensure you live your best life! Whether you’re expecting your first child, entering menopause, or experiencing any unexpected health issues, we’re here to help. We strongly recommend a well-woman exam every year so that we can help you take control of your health and wellness journey and detect any potential health issues as early as possible!

We offer comprehensive and compassionate annual exams for women at our clinic on the Baptist Health campus in Little Rock, and our team is expertly trained to handle all types of women's health issues. The exam typically takes less than an hour and provides a snapshot of your overall health. Here’s what you can expect during your annual exam:

Medical History Review -Your physician will begin by reviewing your current medical history and previous test results. Be sure to let us know about any recent illnesses, as well as any new symptoms you’ve experienced since your last exam. Your doctor will also need to know about all your current prescriptions, as well as any over-the-counter medications or vitamin supplements you take regularly. 

Physical Exam - The next step will be a pelvic examination to assess your sexual and reproductive health and a clinical breast exam to detect any hardening, thickening, lumps, or other changes in each layer of breast tissue. Your doctor might also perform additional examinations, such as an ultrasound, urinalysis, or a pap smear. 

3D Mammograms - Early breast cancer detection is the key to optimal outcomes, and 3D imaging enables doctors and diagnosticians to see multiple angles and spot changes sooner. Annual mammograms are recommended for all women over 35, but you might want to start mammograms at an earlier age if you have a family history of cancer or experience certain symptoms. Your doctor will help you decide when to start getting annual mammograms, and you should contact us immediately if you notice any thickening or lumps in your breast tissue during your monthly breast self-examination.
