As an internist and women’s health specialist, I find there are several common questions that get brought up over and over again. In this episode, I discuss seven really important conversations that every woman should have with their doctor, and more specifically includes the following:
1. Whats my ASCVD risk score? and why is that important?
2. What is my BMI and what should I aim for?
3. What is my blood pressure, what what should I aim for?
4. What is my A1c and why is that important?
5. When do I need a mammogram, especially as screening intervals have changed?
6. When do I need my next pap test, especially as screening intervals have changed?
7. What immunizations am I due for?
