Women's Health

At Wellness Homes of Chicago, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based healthcare tailored to the diverse needs of all women. We understand that women's health is multifaceted and evolves throughout their lives. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where you feel comfortable discussing your health concerns openly and honestly.

Understanding the Diverse Needs of Women

Women experience a wide range of health concerns influenced by biological, social, and lifestyle factors. We recognize that access to quality healthcare can be challenging, and we are committed to bridging these gaps. Recent studies have highlighted the following areas as crucial for improving women’s health:

Reproductive Health

We offer comprehensive reproductive health services, including family planning counseling, contraception options, prenatal care, menopause management, and gynecological care (Pap tests, pelvic exams, screenings for STIs and other infections). We understand that reproductive health needs evolve throughout a woman’s life, and we are here to support you at every stage.

Sexual Health

We provide comprehensive sexual health services, including STI testing and treatment, education about safe sex practices, and discussions about sexual pleasure and satisfaction. We address concerns specific to different life stages and ensure a judgment-free environment.

Mental Health

Women are at a higher risk for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. We offer compassionate and affirming mental health services, including individual and group therapy, with therapists who are experienced in women’s health issues.

Cardiovascular Health

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in women. We offer comprehensive cardiovascular health assessments, including blood pressure screenings, cholesterol testing, and lifestyle counseling to help you maintain a healthy heart.

Cancer Screening

We provide cancer screening services based on your age and risk factors, including mammograms, Pap tests, colonoscopies, and screenings for other cancers that affect women.

Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for overall health. We offer personalized weight loss and weight gain programs that include nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, and support to help you achieve your weight goals.

Hormone Therapy

We offer evaluation and management of hormone therapy for various needs, including menopausal symptoms and other hormonal imbalances. This includes a thorough assessment and discussion of risks and benefits, and may include bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate.

Pelvic Floor Health

We offer evaluation and treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction, including incontinence, pelvic pain, and prolapse.

Autoimmune Diseases

Women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune diseases. We offer screening and management for common autoimmune conditions.

Bone Health

We provide education and screening for osteoporosis, a common concern for women, particularly after menopause.

Rectal HPV Screening

While often discussed in the context of men’s health, rectal HPV screening is also relevant for women, particularly those who engage in anal sex. We offer testing and vaccination for HPV, recognizing the importance of addressing all aspects of sexual health.

STI Testing

We offer comprehensive STI testing and treatment, recognizing that STIs can affect women of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Erectile Dysfunction (in partners)

While erectile dysfunction primarily affects men, it can impact a woman’s sexual satisfaction and relationship. We can provide resources and referrals to support couples in addressing this issue.
