Universal Primary Care is dedicated to supporting individuals through every stage of their reproductive health journey by providing health education. We offer a full spectrum of services, including family planning, preconception counseling, prenatal and postnatal care, and fertility treatments. Our goal is to ensure that pregnancies are planned and healthy, thereby reducing complications during childbirth and improving maternal and infant health outcomes.

Preventing and managing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, is a critical component of reproductive health. We provide comprehensive sexual education, access to preventive measures such as condoms and vaccinations, and confidential STI testing and treatment. Our services are designed to help individuals make informed decisions and engage in safe sexual practices, contributing to the overall reduction of STI transmission.

We believe in the right of every individual to make informed and autonomous decisions about their reproductive lives. Universal Primary Care provides access to a range of services, including contraception, safe and legal abortion services, and fertility treatments. By empowering health, especially women’s health, they must have control over their reproductive choices. We promote gender equality and enable our patients to pursue their personal and professional aspirations without the constraints of unplanned pregnancies.

Understanding the psychological impact of reproductive health issues, our practice offers counseling and support services for individuals and couples facing challenges such as infertility, pregnancy loss, or complications related to reproductive health. Our compassionate approach aims to support the mental and emotional well-being of our patients, fostering resilience and emotional health.

Universal Primary Care is committed to addressing the unique reproductive health needs of diverse populations, including adolescents and those with disabilities. Our tailored health services ensure inclusivity, providing all individuals with access to the care they need in a welcoming and supportive environment.

For women, menstrual disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis are common concerns. Our healthcare providers are equipped to diagnose and manage these conditions, offering personalized treatment plans that may include lifestyle changes, medication, or referrals to specialists if needed. We understand the impact these disorders can have on daily life and fertility, and we work closely with our patients to alleviate symptoms and address long-term health goals.

Infertility is another critical issue that affects many couples. At Universal Primary Care, we provide initial assessments and guidance for both men and women experiencing difficulties with conception. Our team can conduct evaluations to identify potential causes, such as hormonal imbalances or lifestyle factors, and offer appropriate interventions or referrals to fertility specialists.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major focus of our reproductive health services. We offer testing, counseling, and treatment for STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and human papillomavirus (HPV). By promoting regular screenings and safe practices, we aim to prevent the long-term complications associated with untreated infections.

Our practice also emphasizes the importance of regular screenings for reproductive cancers, including cervical, ovarian, and prostate cancer. We provide Pap tests, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, and other preventive measures to ensure early detection and effective treatment.

For individuals with female reproductive organs, we recommend starting regular gynecological exams in the teenage years or early twenties, or when sexual activity begins. Our healthcare providers suggest annual visits to monitor reproductive health, address any concerns, and conduct routine screenings such as Pap smears.

For those with male reproductive organs, we emphasize the importance of regular checkups based on age and individual risk factors. Testicular exams are often included as part of routine physical exams at Universal Primary Care. Discussions regarding prostate health are typically initiated around age 50, but if there is a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors, earlier conversations might be beneficial.

We also prioritize the sexual health of all our patients, regardless of gender. Sexually active individuals are encouraged to undergo regular screenings for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The frequency of these screenings will be tailored to your lifestyle, number of partners, and other risk factors. Our healthcare providers are committed to having open and informative conversations with you to determine the most suitable schedule for reproductive health checkups based on your unique needs and circumstances.

Our goal is to help you maintain excellent reproductive health, detect potential issues early, and provide a supportive environment for discussing contraception, family planning, and any other concerns related to your reproductive well-being. We believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and care necessary to lead healthy lives.
