As a woman, I know that it is highly important to see a womens health specialist on an annual basis. I have known several women who seemed to be in the age of low-risk during the late teens and early twenties receive dire news about their health from a womens health specialist who focuses on womens reproductive health.

There was a girl who received a lump in her breast at the mere age of 18. The lump turned out to be benign; however, it was a great thing that she was reading a womens health fitness magazine which had instructions in doing a self breast cancer examination. The girl underwent an operation to remove the benign lump and today she is fine and well.

I have also known of girls who have gotten cervical cancer in their twenties. After they contracted a high risk form of HPV, cervical cancer became apparent. This is a scary fact that can occur to women today. A virus turning into cancer is a very scary aspect to come across. Luckily, if a woman goes to a womens health specialist, she can prevent cervical cancer from becoming a deadly form.
