What is women’s health?
While many of the same health conditions affect both men and women, women have very unique health needs due to their reproductive organs. Women’s health refers to an area of medicine focused on these special health needs.
Dr. Sra is an internal medicine physician who underwent years of training to be able to prevent, diagnose, and treat all health issues that affect adults. In addition to your reproductive health needs, Dr. Sra can serve as your primary care provider and manage all of your health needs.�
What can I expect during a women’s health exam?
Dr. Sra is a kind and compassionate physician who puts her patients’ needs above all else. She understands how frustrating the health care system can be, so she designed her practice in such a way that she is able to spend adequate time with each of her patients. This allows her to get to know them and better understand their health needs and concerns.
During your women’s health exam, Dr. Sra reviews your medical and gynecological history. She also reviews any health concerns you may have and then conducts a physical and pelvic exam.
To further evaluate your health and screen for common health conditions, she may also request blood work and a urinalysis. Health screenings, such as a Pap smear, mammogram, or bone density test, may also be recommended.�

After she has completed your exam, Dr. Sra may suggest updating your immunizations to protect you from common contagious illnesses, and discuss lifestyle habits that may prevent the onset of chronic illness.
