The Importance of Wellness Exams for Men and Women

A yearly exam is one of the most important preventative health measures you can take. Both men and women should get to their doctor for a yearly wellness exam.

Many diseases and illnesses are discovered because of wellness exams. And because wellness exams are performed on a yearly basis, your doctor has a baseline of your health to measure progress and can act quickly if something is wrong.

Wellness Exams for Women

The wellness exam for women is an overall assessment of your health. We will take your weight and discuss any issues you have. A Pap smear will screen for cervical cancer and any STDs, while a breast exam will check for any lumps that could indicate the presence of breast cancer.

Prior to starting the exam, we will take a health history. During this portion of the exam, we will look at your family history and how that might affect your health. The physical exam will look for any anomalies and some of the most common illnesses seen today.

You will also be given an opportunity to voice any concerns you might have. Whether you’re interested in weight management or have an ache that won’t go away, this is your opportunity to discuss any and all concerns with Dr. Nguyen.

Wellness Exams for Men

As a man heading in for your yearly wellness exam will help to ensure you’re healthy and can also catch illnesses at the start and before they even start to show symptoms. The most dreaded part of this exam is the prostate exam, but this simple portion saves lives and plays a role in better mortality rates.

During this exam, you will have an opportunity to speak with the doctor and discuss concerns. We will also look at your blood pressure and overall family history.

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. Men, in particular, tend to pay less attention to their health when they’re busy concentrating on work and family. This is why wellness exams are so important. They’re a set date for you to get checked out and touch base with your doctor.

Once you start regularly going to wellness exams you will begin to develop a rapport with the doctor and a baseline for them to work off of. This ensures that your doctor understands what is normal for you. For example, while your blood pressure might appear a little low, your normal might be to run on the low side. Similarly, your blood work may seem out of the norm, but the doctor might determine that that is your normal.

Wellness Exams for Children

Keeping your child healthy is probably the most important thing to you as a parent. After all, good health provides your child with the foundation for a great life. Good health makes it possible for them to explore new things, continually learn, and grow into the adult they were made to be.

Here at Conroe Family Doctor, we provide comprehensive wellness exams for children aged two and older to ensure every child we see is reaching those important growth milestones. And, if they aren’t we hello put together a plan to make that happen.

What is a wellness exam?

A wellness exam is an exam in which we examine all of the important growth milestones a child should be reaching. We look at his or her development and look for any issues that might be causing them to slow down. Once we diagnose those issues, we come up with a clear plan of action to ensure they’re taken care of and on the path to reach their milestones.

What does a wellness exam include?

The wellness exam starts with taking the height and weight of your child. We’re looking to have your child in a healthy weight range, not too skinny and not overweight. A healthy weight indicates the child is likely getting proper nutrition and exercise, both of which contribute to a healthy overall weight.

We also ensure your child’s vaccines are up-to-date. Vaccines ensure your child, as well as other children, are protected from many of the viruses that cause early death in children prior to their invention.

The doctor will look at the various speech and motor skill milestones your child should have reached by their age. These are an important factor in developmental health and can be indicative of problems that need further attention. The good news is the doctor can help direct you toward the best treatment for issues that might occur, so your child can get on track.

During the wellness exam, you have a chance to talk to Dr. Nguyen about any concerns you have, both in regards to your child’s physical health and developmental health. No question is off limits. We’ve had patients whose children are acting out at daycare or biting their siblings. Whatever concerns you may have, this appointment is where you can freely express them.

Should I schedule a wellness exam?

While you might look at your child and not see any issues, wellness examines provide an objective look at your child’s health. It’s easy as parents to overlook minor issues, but oftentimes bigger issues start as smaller issues. By catching these issues early you can ensure your child is reaching all the right milestones and truly doing as well as they can.

How do I schedule an exam?
