Women's Health Services at Southdale Physicians

From the first menstrual cycle to post-menopause, a woman’s body moves through significant hormonal, reproductive, and metabolic shifts. Some other common women’s conditions may also go unaddressed, such as hormonal imbalances, abnormal Pap results, low libido, perimenopause symptoms. And the reason behind is simple, lack of routine women screenings.
At Southdale Physicians, our women’s health center offers targeted, evidence-based care that meets females at every stage.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Some of the females hormones decline naturally with age, i.e., Estrogen (one of the primary hormones responsible for menstrual cycles, also called a feel good hormone) and Progesterone (a calming hormone that regulates mood and sleep as well). The symptoms that may be seen include hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and accelerated bone loss, are all treatable. According to the NIH and Mayo Clinic, hormone replacement therapy remains one of the most effective options for managing moderate-to-severe menopausal symptoms in appropriate candidates.

HRT can help with:

Vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats).
Estrogen is FDA-approved to treat Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
Osteoporosis prevention in early menopause.
Mood instability and sleep disruption which occur due to hormonal decline.

Our women’s health specialist reviews your full hormonal picture before recommending any treatment options. Moreover, your therapy is monitored regularly and adjusted based on lab work and symptom response.

Routine Female Health Screenings

Preventive screening catches problems before they become serious. Many gynecologic conditions, including cervical cancer, are highly treatable when detected early through consistent female health screening.

Pap Smear (Cervical Cancer Screening)

Per current USPSTF and ACOG guidelines, here’s how often to get a Pap smear:

Ages 21–29: Pap smear every 3 years.
Ages 30–65: Pap smear + HPV co-test every 5 years, or Pap alone every 3 years.
65+: Screening may be discontinued if prior results have been consistently normal.

If you’ve been searching for a pap smear near Southdale, MN, you may book a fee-for-service appointment at Southdale Physicians, perhaps same-week appointments with minimal wait time.

Leaving no ambiguities, abnormal results are followed up with colposcopy referrals (an examination carried out using a light microscope called colposcope) and clear next steps.

Health Screening Package for Female Patients

Our comprehensive health screening package for female patients includes:

Pap smear and HPV co-testing
Breast exam and mammography referral (per age/risk)
Blood pressure, BMI, and metabolic screening
Thyroid function (TSH)
Lipid panel and blood glucose
STI screening (based on risk factors and patient preference)
Bone density assessment referral for women 65+ or high-risk patients under 65

Screenings may be bundled to reduce the number of separate appointments and give you a complete baseline in one visit. Talk to a real human and book your healthcare appointments with ease –

Women's Sexual Health

While treated as a secondary concern, sexual health is a core component of overall wellbeing. Problems with libido, arousal, pain during intercourse, and vaginal dryness are common among women and clinically addressable.

At our women’s sexual health clinic, we address:

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD):

A distressing reduction in libido evaluated through validated screening tools and managed with tailored hormonal treatments (including hormone replacement therapy) or targeted non-hormonal options.

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM):

Vulvovaginal thinning, dryness, and painful intercourse driven by declining estrogen; managed effectively with localized hormone replacement (topical estrogen), oral SERMs (ospemifene), or vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) to optimize sexual health and comfort.

Routine Screenings & Preventative Care:

Confidential, non-judgmental, and evidence-based clinical assessments, including routine cervical cancer screenings (Pap smears) and comprehensive STI screenings coupled with dedicated sexual wellness counseling.
