Women’s Health
At Mountain People’s it is our goal to ensure the best care for women and girls through routine check-ups, education, and preventive care. Women have special medical needs that require attention beginning in their late adolescence and continuing throughout their lives. We work closely with female patients to review their medical history and risk factors as it relates to conditions such as breast cancer, heart disease, cervical or ovarian cancer, menopause, osteoporosis, and other conditions. Other conditions such as vitamin deficiency is sometimes overlooked by individuals, but in fact can be an underlying factor to other major conditions such as obesity, bone problems, lack of energy and fatigue, muscle weakness, memory problems, and bad skin that impact overall health. Vitamin D, calcium, folic acid, and iron shortages are a common problem among women that can be prevented and managed with the right care. MPHC providers perform routine blood tests to ensure you do not have a vitamin deficiency that can lead to poor health.
Our providers also understand how difficult it can be to decide on the right method for pregnancy prevention. That is why a variety of contraception medications and devices that are both safe and effective are offered to ensure that you are comfortable with the method you are using for pregnancy prevention. Our providers can help you understand the benefits and risks with each type of treatment and what may work best for you.
