Dr. Porbunderwala was recently featured in the Union Leader, where she discussed a range of important women’s health topics and shared valuable guidance on the health screenings women should prioritize throughout every stage of life.

Women’s healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. As women age, their bodies, lifestyles, family histories, and risk factors change, and so do their healthcare needs. While some preventive screenings are recommended for most women, others may depend on individual risk factors, symptoms, family history, and conversations with a primary care physician. That’s why having an ongoing relationship with a trusted primary care doctor is so important.

Preventive care is one of the most powerful tools for protecting long-term health. Routine wellness visits and recommended screenings can help identify potential health concerns early, when they may be easier to manage or treat. From cancer screenings and cardiovascular health to bone density and overall wellness, the screenings women need can evolve throughout their lives. Staying informed and proactive allows patients to work with their physician to make decisions that are appropriate for their age, health history, and individual risk factors.

Preventive care is about more than checking a box on a list. It is about understanding individual health, recognizing potential risks, and taking action before a concern becomes a larger problem.

TTThere is no universal screening schedule that applies to every woman. Healthcare needs are shaped by a variety of factors, including age, family history, lifestyle, previous health concerns, and personal risk factors. That’s where a strong relationship with a primary care physician can make a difference.

At Delphi Enhanced Primary Care, prevention is considered a foundation of better health. The practice model is built around strong patient-physician relationships, giving patients greater access to their primary care doctor and the opportunity to receive more personalized guidance. The right screening at the right time can make a difference, but knowing which screenings are right for you starts with knowing you.

No matter what decade of life a woman is in, staying informed and maintaining regular communication with a primary care physician can support a more proactive approach to health. Making preventive care a priority and maintaining an ongoing relationship with a trusted physician can help women take an active role in protecting their health today and for years to come.
