Annual Physical vs. Well-Woman Exam: What’s the Difference?

Many women think their annual GYN visit covers everything — but it doesn’t. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help you understand why you need both appointments every year.

The Well-Woman Exam (GYN visit) includes:

• Pelvic exam
• Breast exam
• Pap smear (when needed)
• Birth control or hormone discussions
• Menstrual, sexual, and reproductive health review

The Annual Physical (Primary Care visit) includes:

• Blood pressure, heart, and lung evaluation
• Full lab work (cholesterol, glucose, thyroid, etc.)
• Screening for diabetes, anemia, vitamin deficiencies
• Immunizations
• Review of chronic conditions
• Mental health check-in

Why you need both:

✔ One checks your reproductive system
✔ The other checks your whole-body health
✔ Together, they prevent major concerns from being missed

At Be., these visits work together.

You don’t have to bounce between offices — we integrate your GYN and primary care so everything is coordinated.
