Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is childfree wellness?
A: Childfree wellness is a health approach specifically designed for women who choose not to have children or find themselves childfree due to personal or medical circumstances. This type of care focuses on preventive health, emotional well-being, and overall wellness, without an emphasis on reproductive or fertility issues. Dr. Turner offers personalized wellness plans to support your long-term health and well-being.
​
Q: Why is childfree wellness different from general women’s health care?
A: Childfree wellness addresses the unique health needs and emotional challenges of women who are childfree. Dr. Turner understands the stressors that come with this decision, including familial and social pressures. Many women find it difficult to be taken seriously by healthcare providers when they express not wanting children, or they may feel dismissed when seeking permanent contraception solutions. Additionally, childfree women face an increased lifetime risk for conditions such as uterine and breast cancer, which may not always be addressed in general women’s health care. Dr. Turner provides a supportive space where these concerns are prioritized and preventive care is emphasized.
​
Q: Wait, there are specific health risks for childfree women?
A: Yes. Studies show that childfree women may have a higher risk of developing uterine and breast cancer over their lifetime. Dr. Turner takes these risks seriously and emphasizes the importance of regular screenings and preventive care. With her personalized approach, Dr. Turner helps you take proactive steps, such as scheduling routine cancer screenings and adopting a lifestyle that supports your long-term health.
