SUMMARY: Dr. Andrea Carter emphasizes the importance of annual checkups for women, highlighting the need for regular pelvic and breast exams to detect diseases like cervical and ovarian cancer. She is concerned that many women are not taking their health seriously, possibly due to misinformation and myths about the frequency of checkups. Delaying checkups could result in missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of serious health issues. Annual exams can improve overall health and potentially save lives. It is crucial for women to prioritize their health and schedule regular appointments with their healthcare provider. Visit the website for more information on Women's Health Week and resources.
