Unlocking your full potential in your 20s starts with prioritizing your health. Whether you’re a corporate professional, a student, or a mother, achieving the life you dream of, starts with good health. This guide explores essential health packages, that may be beneficial to women in their 20s from PCOS management to mental health support, these empower you to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of well-being to help you take control of your health in your 20s.
Addressing PCOS Concerns
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome otherwise known as PCOS is a common health concern amongst all women. It is a hormonal disorder mainly caused by insulin resistance, which affects the reproductive system and has a constellation of symptoms. This affects 5-15% of women of childbearing age and could cause multiple health risks later on. There is no one cause for PCOS, so women may have varying reasons for getting diagnosed with it. Likewise, treatment plans differ based on the person’s symptoms and health goals. Regardless, it is important to notice early signs of PCOS, to prevent health risks from developing.
PCOS is clinically diagnosed by an OBGYN with supporting evidence from laboratory tests such as a combination of a blood hormone and sugar levels test, a physical exam, a medical history review, and an ultrasound of the ovaries.
At Kindred, there are 3 variations of our PCOS Package, all designed to help women get screened and create a treatment plan with board-certified OBGYNs to address and manage symptoms.
Basic PCOS Screening Package: This package includes two (2) 30-60 minute consultations with an OBGYN which will cover a review of the patient's medical history, an extensive discussion on reproductive and hormonal health, and PCOS management directives for the follow-up or second consult. The package also includes a physical exam, as well as a transvaginal ultrasound and HbA1c blood test to determine a PCOS diagnosis.
Basic PCOS Screening Upgrade Package: This package is an add-on package for individuals who initially booked a PCOS Package (Basic Screening) or for those who have already been diagnosed with PCOS. This package includes two (2) 30-60 minute consultations with an OBGYN which will cover a review of the patient's medical history, an extensive discussion on reproductive and hormonal health, and PCOS management directives for the follow-up consultations. The package also includes a physical exam, as well as additional laboratory tests.
Comprehensive PCOS Package: This package is inclusive of four (4) 30-60 minute consultations with an OBGYN which will cover a review of the patient's medical history, an extensive discussion on reproductive and hormonal health, and PCOS management directives for the follow-up consultations. This package also includes a physical exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, an HbA1c blood test, and other additional laboratory tests to determine a PCOS diagnosis.
Prioritizing your mental health and well-being
In recent statistics, it has been shown that 1 in 4 individuals will develop a mental illness in their lifetime. In your 20s, it may be the time you realize and decide to address your past traumas or any behavior that you feel needs to be addressed by a mental health professional. Operating both online and in-clinic, Kindred’s psych services are accessible enough to meet you where you are, at any stage of your mental health.
At Kindred, we’ve created bundles for mental health services to help patients gain professional insight into a patient’s psychological well-being with an assessment, diagnosis, and therapy.
Mental Health Psychology Bundle A: This bundle includes 3 60-minute psychology sessions.
Mental Health Psychology Bundle B: This bundle includes 5 60-minute psychology sessions.
For both bundles, initial sessions will include discussions regarding the patient's history, background, goals, and other information, which will serve as the foundational basis of the clinical on the length and necessities for a treatment plan. The following sessions will be a deeper exploration of the underlying causes of mental health challenges experienced by a patient.
These bundles are well-suited for individuals seeking support for mental health concerns, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. They can also be beneficial for those who wish to proactively enhance their emotional well-being, foster personal growth, and deepen self-awareness. The follow-up consultations within these bundles provide ongoing support, enabling you to consistently work towards your mental health goals and build a strong foundation for lasting well-being.
Protecting your sexual health
As early as their 20s, women realize that it’s important to be aware and understand the importance of protecting your sexual health. Being extra cautious about sexual health can mainly prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) but doing so can prevent even more complications that come along with STIs.
At Kindred, we’ve created the following packages to promote good sexual health practices for peace of mind and overall well-being.
Cervical Cancer Screening + HPV Package: This package includes 2 OBGYN General Consults and 1 Pap Smear. After the initial consult, your OBGYN may assess if you need HPV Genotyping or recommend other services. Please be reminded that before undergoing the service, please abstain from douching and sexual intercourse for at least 3 days before your Pap smear.
Sexual Health (IDS) Package: This package includes 2 OBGYN - Infectious Diseases Consult, which must be conducted in-clinic, as the doctor will conduct a CTG Antigen test. Patients will receive a request for their bloodwork after the initial consult. During the follow-up consult, the doctor will interpret the results and recommend any additional tests, consults, or services. The package also includes the following laboratory tests: HIV Testing (Qualitative), HBsAg, VDRL/RPR, and a CTG Antigen Test Kit.
Don’t forget that when it comes to sexual health, prevention is key. By being informed about STIs and taking precautions, you can protect yourself and your partners from these infections.
