What is women’s health?

Women’s health is an internal medicine subspecialty that diagnoses and treats sex-specific health problems in people with female reproductive organs.

Even though men and women experience many similar health problems, women’s unique reproductive systems make some conditions more likely than others. Investing in women’s health care at Twin Ports Telemedicine can help you age gracefully and reduce the risk of conditions like breast and cervical cancers and menopause symptoms.

Which services does women’s health offer?

At Twin Ports Telemedicine, Nikki provides various women’s health services with telehealth, including:

Medical recommendations (referrals)

All women are encouraged to undergo sex-specific preventative screenings, like Pap smears and mammograms (breast X-rays). Since Twin Ports Telemedicine is a telehealth practice, Nikki refers patients to nearby labs and clinics for these screenings. After she receives your test results, Nikki will explain them to you and draw up a personalized treatment plan.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Many  peri- menopausal women experience uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and dry skin. Nikki offers both synthetic and bio-identical hormone therapy, tailored to your individual needs based on advanced hormone testing, to restore balance and help you feel your best.

How often should I schedule a women’s health visit?

Nikki encourages all women to schedule a women’s health visit at Twin Ports Telemedicine at least once a year. After becoming a practice member, you also receive a single home visit from Nikki. This home visit presents an opportunity to meet Nikki face to face and strengthen your client-provider relationship.
