Overview
This program bundles primary-care women’s health topics so you are not rushed through sensitive decisions. We align cervical screening with Ontario’s program and discuss HPV testing when available. For menopause, we review evidence on hormone therapy and non-hormonal options. General women’s health information is summarized by Health Canada’s healthy aging hub; office-based topics are supported by CFPC materials.
Referrals to gynecology, urogynecology, or fertility clinics are coordinated when needed.
What’s included
- Contraception counseling (pills, IUD, implant, injection) and emergency contraception options

Who it’s for
Patients seeking a dedicated primary-care pathway for reproductive health, contraception changes, menopause symptoms, or screening coordination.
Questions
We coordinate with obstetrics; shared care may be possible for low-risk pregnancies depending on your obstetrician’s model.
Intervals depend on age, HPV test results, and prior history—Ontario’s program defines when Pap/HPV is due; we explain your next due date.
We assess for anemia, pregnancy, fibroids, or other causes and arrange ultrasound or gynecology referral when indicated.
