Women’s health in primary care spans adolescence through menopause: heavy or painful periods, contraception that fits your life, screening for cervical cancer (Pap/HPV per provincial programs), and discussion of bone health, cardiovascular risk, and mental health. Canadian preventive guidance evolves; we reference sources such as the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care for screening conversations and CFPC resources for office-based women’s health topics.
When pregnancy is desired or complex gynecology is needed, we coordinate with obstetrics/gynecology.
