Women's Care
Women’s health refers to the special health care needs specific to women. Because of your reproductive system and gender-specific health needs, including pregnancy and menopause, you require highly specialized medical care.
While men and women experience many of the same health issues, such as depression and heart disease, your symptoms are different and require a trained professional who understands how best to manage your health issues.
Dr. Rowland and his team at Boca General & Family Medicine specialize in women’s health and provide you with the care you need, along with the kindness and compassion you expect from your primary care physician.
What to Expect
At Boca General & Family Medicine, our dedicated team offers comprehensive examinations tailored specifically for women, into account your gender, health requirements, and age. In addition to the physical examination, we provide Pap smears, a crucial screening test designed to detect abnormalities in cervical cells that may signal early of cancer. Early identification of cervical cancer significantly enhances your overall prognosis.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Dr. Rowland is also an expert in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Childbirth and menopause can affect hormone balance and lead to a number of symptoms, including:
-
Depression
-
Vaginal dryness
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Low libido
-
Weight gain
-
Fatigue
Bioidentical hormone replacement is a more natural hormone replacement option for you that helps restore your hormone levels and relieve your symptoms. Dr. Rowland can determine if you would benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy after an examination and special hormone-level blood test.
Physician-Supervised Weight Loss Plan
The team at Boca General & Family Medicine understands that many women struggle with their weight and offers a physician-supervised weight loss plan to help you achieve your weight loss goals using the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) diet. This diet plan helps you lose weight quickly with the use of hormone injections that stimulate fat loss and control your appetite. You also follow a diet plan that helps make meal planning simple.
