Well-woman Examinations: Beyond Cervical Cancer Screening

The objectives of this study were to determine if gynecologic conditions are being discovered for women 40 years and older and describe the interventions planned. Retrospective analyses were conducted on records from a hospital-based gynecology clinic yielding 283 charts. The majority of patients were diagnosed with new gynecologic conditions and had Pap smears performed. The follow-up for these patients included prescriptions, education, and diagnostic workup.
