Women's Health Specialist

What is women’s health?

Women’s health is an area of medicine that focuses on your very special health needs. You require unique care due to the health benefits and risks related to your reproductive organs.

And while both men and women develop many of the same health issues, your signs and symptoms may not be the same. Dr. Lee and his team at Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care are experts in women’s health and can identify health issues based on your signs and symptoms.

What can I expect during a women’s health exam?

Dr. Lee and his team provide thorough examinations based on your individualized health needs. In addition to a physical and review of your medical history, Dr. Lee may also conduct a Pap smear to assess your risk of cervical cancer.

He may also request additional testing or health screenings to further evaluate your health. Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care offers many on-site diagnostic tests, including blood work, urine analysis, X-rays, and echocardiograms, so there’s no need to go to another facility for these tests.

If you’re sexually active and don’t want to get pregnant, Dr. Lee can also prescribe birth control.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are a more natural form of hormone replacement created from food sources that may not cause the same side effects as synthetic hormones. You may benefit from bioidentical hormones if your estrogen levels are out of balance or you’re experiencing the symptoms of menopause.

What treatments are available for anti-aging?

Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care offers stem cell regenerative medicine for anti-aging. Stem cells are the cells in your body that have the ability to transform into any type of cell you may need, from the cells that make up your blood vessels to the cells that create new skin. Unfortunately, your production of stem cells decreases as you get older.

Through stem cell regenerative medicine, Dr. Lee and his team can provide your body with additional stem cells to help regenerate new, younger tissue for improved health.

What can I expect from a weight management program?

As with your medical care, the team at Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care creates a weight management program specific to your health needs and weight goals. Your plan may include a special diet, appetite suppressants, or fat-burning injections.
