What is women’s wellness?

Women’s wellness is a family medicine subspecialty that provides complete medical care to women.

Even though men and women experience many of the same health problems, they often present differently between the sexes. Regular visits to Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic preserve your health and help you age gracefully.

What services does women’s wellness provide?

Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic offers various women’s wellness services, including:

Bioidentical hormone therapy
Many women 50 and older experience uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Bioidentical hormone therapy can restore your body to balance. Unlike traditional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources, like plants, so they present fewer risks. 

During treatment, you visit the office for routine checkups. At each visit, your provider completes blood work to check your hormone levels. 

Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic offers bioidentical hormone therapy through an annual subscription-based service. Bioidentical hormone therapy isn’t covered by health insurance, but the providers accept cash-based payments. 

Nutritional supplements
Nutritional supplements and vitamins complement your diet. After a physical exam and lab work, your Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic provider makes personalized supplement recommendations. 

Immunizations
Immunizations teach your immune system to defend against viruses and bacteria. No vaccine is entirely effective, but staying current on your immunizations significantly reduces your risk of severe outcomes, like hospitalization.

Preventive screenings
Preventive screenings try to catch health problems, like cancer, early on. The providers at Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic regularly refer patients for Pap smears, breast exams, and mammograms.

What makes integrative women’s wellness unique?

Integrative women’s wellness is unique in that it emphasizes whole-body health. A whole-body approach to wellness identifies the root cause of disease and then makes personalized recommendations to fix it.

How often should I schedule women’s wellness?

Schedule a women’s wellness checkup annually, even if you feel great. Many chronic conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes, develop slowly or present few symptoms. Routine check-ins at Preston Arndt, MD Medical Clinic provide peace of mind.
