Women's health in Fairfax, Virginia

Women's health visits are an opportunity to discuss preventive care and concerns that may be difficult to fit into a busy day. At Active Medical Care in Fairfax, Dr. Nisa Masood, MD, offers primary care with attention to your history and priorities. You can ask about screening, changes in your health and the next steps that are appropriate for you.

What to expect

A visit starts with your questions and a review of your medical history, medicines, family history and relevant screening records. Depending on your needs, you may discuss cervical cancer screening, bone health, menopause concerns or general preventive care. Not every visit requires the same examination or tests. The doctor can explain the reason for a proposed examination, discuss your preferences and answer questions before proceeding. Some concerns may require specialist evaluation, and the practice can help with referrals. Before leaving, ask which results to expect, what follow-up is recommended and how to contact the office about any remaining questions.

Who it's for

This service is for people seeking women's preventive primary care or a discussion of concerns such as menopause symptoms and screening needs. The appropriate visit depends on your age, history, symptoms and previous results. Tell the office what you would like to discuss when scheduling. If you need obstetric care, a procedure or urgent evaluation, ask whether another service or specialist is more appropriate.

Preparing for your visit

Bring your medication list and available screening records, including dates of previous tests. Write down the concerns you want to discuss, even if they feel personal or hard to explain. You may ask questions about the visit, examination and privacy arrangements in advance. If you would prefer to speak in Hindi, Urdu or Telugu, mention that when booking. Ask the office about any preparation needed for planned testing.
