Love Yourself First

This Valentine’s Day, Give Yourself the Gift of Health

❤  ❤  ❤

Valentine’s Day is a time we celebrate love — but too often, women put everyone else’s needs before their own. This year, we’re encouraging you to make yourself a priority. Because the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself, and that starts with taking care of your health.

Your Health Is an Act of Self-Love

When was the last time you scheduled a checkup — not because something was wrong, but simply because you deserve to feel your best? Many women delay routine gynecological care, putting off annual exams, skipping screenings, or ignoring symptoms that nag at the back of their minds.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re asking you to make one simple promise to yourself: book that appointment you’ve been putting off.

Small Steps That Make a Big Difference

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few ways to show yourself love through better health this year:

Stay on top of your annual wellness exam. Regular gynecological checkups catch potential issues early and keep you feeling confident about your health. If it’s been a while since your last visit, now is the perfect time.

Talk to your doctor about contraception. Whether you’re exploring your options for the first time or considering a change, having an open conversation with a provider who listens makes all the difference. We offer the full range of contraceptive options and can help you find what works best for your body and your life.

Don’t ignore what your body is telling you. Unusual discharge, irregular periods, pelvic pain, or discomfort during intimacy are all worth discussing with your healthcare provider. These conversations are nothing to be embarrassed about — they’re part of caring for yourself.

Get tested. Regular STD screenings are a normal, responsible part of being sexually active. We provide confidential, judgment-free testing so you can have peace of mind.

You Deserve a Provider Who Cares

At Dr. Emily Women’s Health Center, we’ve been caring for women in the Bronx since 2004. Our board-certified physicians — Dr. Brian E. Park and Dr. Vivian Roston — and our dedicated team are here to provide compassionate, personalized care in a warm, welcoming environment.

We understand that visiting the gynecologist can feel stressful, and we go out of our way to make sure you feel comfortable, respected, and heard. Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup, need contraceptive counseling, want STD testing, or require more specialized reproductive care, we treat every patient like family.
