Pap Testing/HPV – The Pap test identifies changes in cells on the cervix (lower end of the uterus) that are caused from HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). HPV is the most common STI and is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is spread primarily through genital contact. Most infections resolve on their own without treatment. However, if a high risk infection persists, it can cause cancer of the cervix or vagina in women. In most cases, follow-up care for an abnormal test result may prevent cervical cancer from developing. There is no cure for HPV, however there are vaccines available which provide protection from some of the cancer-causing strains of HPV. Vida Medical Clinic can provide a medical referral for any recommended follow-up care and possible treatment. 

Pelvic Exam – A pelvic exam is a visual and physical examination of a woman’s reproductive organs. A Vida Medical Clinic provider can perform a pelvic exam and will test and provide treatment for vaginal infections and/or STIs, if needed. 

Breast Exam – A breast exam can detect some abnormalities in the breasts. Vida Medical Clinic’s provider will feel for any lumps or changes in the breast tissue. Medical referrals will be provided for any recommended follow-up. Vida Medical Clinic does not offer breast ultrasounds or mammograms.
