Reproductive Health for Women at Every Age
When you hear the term “reproductive health,” your mind might jump straight to babies or birth control. But reproductive health is so much more—it’s a vital part of your overall wellness, closely connected to your hormones, menstrual cycle, and every life stage, from puberty through menopause and beyond.
Personalized Care That Evolves With You
By definition, reproductive health refers to the care and function of the reproductive system, which includes the sex organs and hormone-producing glands. This system is closely connected to others in the body—for example, the endocrine system, particularly the pituitary gland, plays a key role in hormone regulation. In women, it helps control hormones that influence the ovaries, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), oxytocin, and more.
Just as other organs—like the heart and skin—require personalized attention, the reproductive system also benefits from regular screenings. Through the Barclays Health Center, you have access to primary care providers who are available to provide guidance, perform annual wellness and well-woman exams (including Pap tests), and provide referrals to specialists when needed.
