Older Adulthood Care for Women's Health

You should continue seeing your primary care provider and gynecologist once a year for an annual exam and any time you have new or unusual symptoms. We can perform (or help coordinate):

• Bone density screenings. Women have a higher risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to bone and joint fractures. This risk increases as you get older. We’ll order a bone density test every two years starting at age 65 (or sooner if you’re considered high-risk for fractures).
• Annual mammogram. They can detect breast cancer early and when it’s easier to treat. We’re committed to helping every eligible woman get one. We offer mammography at nine locations throughout the Cincinnati region. We also bring mammography services directly into local neighborhoods. Our mobile mammography van offers state-of-the-art 3D mammograms at more than 100 screening events every year.
• Gynecologic cancer screenings. Your risk of gynecologic cancer increases as you age, and it’s important to have regular screening exams. Our experts help you stay on track with pelvic exams, Pap smears and HPV tests.
• Sexual health counseling. Sex can become uncomfortable after menopause, but treatments can help. We can prescribe hormonal or nonhormonal therapies for symptoms like vaginal dryness, so you can still enjoy being intimate with your partner.
• Hormone therapy counseling. If you’re considering hormone therapy to replace your body’s natural estrogen, talk to your provider. We can help you understand your options and the advantages and disadvantages of each. We’ll also explain when you should consider starting and stopping hormone therapy, so the benefits outweigh the risks.
• Menopause syndromes. Conditions like this can refer to the combination of genital, sexual and urinary symptoms many women develop when their estrogen levels drop. These symptoms include vaginal dryness, painful sex and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs).

If a gynecologic condition makes it hard for you to get through the day, an expert physician who specializes in gynecologic care will evaluate your needs and together determine a path of treatment.
