Women’s health is important because women are more likely to develop certain diseases than men, including certain types of cancers, heart conditions, and some types of STDs. They are more likely to suffer from severe complications if they have problems with their reproductive organs, like certain types of birth defects and pregnancy problems. Because the female reproductive system is so complex with many different interworking parts, they are more likely to experience health concerns involving the reproductive system. Furthermore, due to the sensitive and delicate nature of the female reproductive organs, women are more likely to become infertile, which is becoming a more prevalent problem.

Mesquite Medical Clinic provides the following women’s health services:

⦁ Breast Care — Breasts play an important role in motherhood as they provide nourishment for newborns. However, they are also susceptible to cancer, which can be prevented or treated early through preventative breast care screenings.
⦁ Pap Smear — Pap smears are important preventative tests that check for abnormalities in the cells of the cervix.
⦁ Gynecology — Gynecological care focuses on sexual and reproductive health and is essential for the health and wellness of each and every woman.
