Your OB-GYN visit isn’t just about reproductive health — it’s an important checkpoint for your heart, too.

During well-woman exams, providers routinely assess blood pressure, weight trends, family history, and lifestyle factors that impact cardiovascular health. These regular visits allow for early conversations and proactive steps — often long before heart disease develops.

Preventive care today can protect your health for years to come.

Heart disease is often thought of as a “men’s health issue,” but it’s the leading cause of death for women in the U.S. and symptoms can look very different than they do in men.

Fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, or jaw and back pain can all be warning signs. That’s why preventive care and early conversations matter.

This Heart Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting how your OB-GYN plays a key role in protecting your heart often before symptoms ever appear. 💗

There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding cervical health. Knowing the facts can help women make informed decisions and stay proactive about preventive care.
