Women's health is a field of medicine that focuses on the unique needs of women from puberty to older adulthood. Experts in women's health, such as Dr. Caughell, are committed to nurturing your health through every stage of female development.
Dr. Caughell offers holistic, compassionate care while addressing your concerns, which may include:
As a woman, your body goes through dramatic stages throughout your lifetime, and with each stage of life comes new challenges, health risks, and health care needs.
A natural part of the aging process involves a decrease in hormone production. These hormonal changes have profound effects on many systems of the body and not just the reproductive system.
Around the age of 45, hormone production diminishes dramatically, eventually causing menopause (when menstruation stops completely). Menopause can last up to 10 years and can affect your body in many ways, including hot flashes, mood swings, slowing of metabolism, and changes in your skin.
Having a compassionate, knowledgeable physician with expertise in women's health by your side can protect and support your health as you age.
Green Country Medical: Nowata Family Medicine offers a wide range of health care services to support women's health. These include:
Whatever your specific health needs, Dr. Caughell manages your health care team so that your care is as comprehensive as possible, no matter your stage of life.
