3 Reasons to Prioritize Your Annual Wellness Exam

Jan 01, 2026
Your annual OB/GYN exam matters. It detects issues early, supports your hormonal health, and ensures you get the care you deserve. Make your wellness a priority; schedule your yearly visit today.

When life is busy, your health may not get the attention it deserves. But, your annual wellness exam is one appointment that shouldn’t be missed. 

During your wellness exam, the OB/GYN team at  Women’s Care of Beverly Hills supports all aspects of your health, including your body, your hormones, and your reproductive system.

Regularly attending annual wellness exams supports your overall well-being. If you need more convincing, here are three reasons to prioritize this appointment this year.

1. Protect your health before problems arise

Your wellness exam is an example of preventive care. These visits enable our team to identify concerns early, when they’re usually easier to address. During your exam, a member of our OB/GYN team reviews your medical history, updates screenings, and assesses any changes in your health from the past year.

Your annual visit may include:

  • A breast exam
  • A pelvic exam
  • Cervical cancer screening (Pap smear/HPV testing, depending on age and history)
  • Birth control counseling
  • STD testing
  • Menopause and hormone health evaluation

You may not notice small changes in your health that can be early indicators of something that needs attention. Visiting our office yearly makes sure that nothing important gets overlooked.

2. Follow the evolution of your reproductive health

Your hormones make notable shifts throughout your life. You may notice changes in your health and symptoms as you age and pass through pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause.

Your annual exam is a chance to talk openly about anything you’re experiencing, including:

  • Irregular periods
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Pelvic pain
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Low libido
  • Mood or sleep changes

Although many women experience these symptoms, you should have them reviewed as they may have a simple resolution or signal the need for additional evaluation. Here at Women’s Care of Beverly Hills, we can help you understand what’s happening, offer treatment options, and guide you through each phase with better comfort and clarity.

3. You deserve to focus on yourself

As a woman, you are often responsible for others. You spend your time watching out for family, work, and the community. Your annual wellness exam is one appointment that’s entirely about you and your health. It’s a chance for you to ask questions, talk about concerns, update your care plan, and get reassurance that you’re on the right track.

Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, navigating perimenopause, or simply maintaining your health, we’re here to help you feel your best at every age.

Make your wellness a priority

Your annual exam is a simple step, but it has a big impact on your long-term health. It gives you a complete picture of your health, keeps you proactive, and ensures you have the support you need throughout every stage of life.
