Your body evolves over time—and your care should evolve with it. As you plan your 2026 gynecologic assessment, understanding what to prioritize at each stage can help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered.
At Viva Eve, our providers take an ages-and-stages approach to care—combining preventive screening, advanced testing, and personalized guidance to support you through every phase of reproductive and hormonal health.
Teens & 20s: Building the Foundation
This stage is about education, prevention, and establishing a healthy baseline.
“Your teens and twenties are the best time to ask questions and understand what’s normal for your body,” says Dr. Natalie Harris. “We focus on education, cycle health, and prevention—so patients feel confident making decisions now and in the future.”
During this visit, we often address:
- Birth control and pregnancy prevention options
- Cycle irregularities, painful periods, or heavy bleeding
- PCOS evaluation and symptom management
- STI screening and preventive care
20s–30s: Planning Without Pressure
You might not be ready for a baby—but you may want to keep your options open. This stage is about flexibility, foresight, and understanding your reproductive health.
“Family planning isn’t one-size-fits-all,” explains Dr. Saloni Mathur. “Some patients want to actively plan, while others just want to understand their options. Our goal is to meet you where you are—without pressure.”
Focus areas may include:
- Fertility planning and preservation options
- Cycle management and symptom support
- Hormonal testing when indicated
- Contraception aligned with your lifestyle
30s–40s: Hormones, Balance & Long-Term Health
This stage is a pivotal time to check in on hormonal shifts, even if cycles still feel “normal.”
“Subtle hormone changes often begin in the late thirties,” says Dr. Sophia Drosinos. “We see patients benefit greatly from early evaluation—before symptoms start interfering with daily life.”
Your assessment may include:
- Hormone evaluation for changes in mood, energy, or weight
- Fertility or preconception planning (if applicable)
- Screening for fibroids, abnormal bleeding, or pelvic pain
- Preventive imaging and comprehensive testing
When Fibroids, Pelvic Pain, or Fertility Concerns Are Part of the Picture
Some symptoms don’t fit neatly into an age category—and they shouldn’t be dismissed.
“Heavy bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, or fertility concerns are never something patients should ‘just live with,’” says Dr. Courtney Alexander. “Comprehensive evaluation helps us identify the cause and create a plan that’s both effective and individualized.”
Dr. Alexander works closely with patients across age groups to evaluate:
- Fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding
- Chronic pelvic pain conditions
- Fertility challenges and treatment options
