January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, a time to emphasize the importance of prevention and early detection in addressing serious health issues like cervical cancer. Regular cervical screenings are one of the most effective tools for protection, as they assess the health of the cervix to identify and address abnormal changes before serious developments occur. Eder Medical Plan members have access to a schedule for two types of cervical screenings, a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) test and Pap smear, recommended at specific intervals depending on age.
Cervical health is an important part of the larger conversation about pelvic health, a critical yet often overlooked aspect of women’s wellness. Did you know that one in four women in the U.S. experience pelvic health disorders? Pelvic health is essential because it supports internal organs, maintains bladder and bowel control, and enhances intimacy — key elements of a woman’s overall well-being.
To help address these concerns, Eder Medical Plan offers Bloom by Sword Health — a revolutionary program designed specifically for women’s pelvic health. Bloom combines clinical-grade, innovative technology with the personalized care of a Pelvic Health Specialist, creating a comprehensive therapy solution. Bloom has transformed pelvic health care with a digital approach that you can access from the comfort of your home. This non-invasive program focuses on improving pelvic floor function, reducing chronic pain, and restoring well-being — all while minimizing the need for painkillers or invasive procedures like surgery. The program also includes the Bloom Pod, a device that syncs with the mobile app to guide you through short, effective pelvic therapy sessions.
Members of Eder Medical Plan who enroll in Bloom are paired with a dedicated Pelvic Health Specialist who creates a tailored exercise program designed to meet their unique needs. Using a pelvic sensor that tracks pressure movements, members can perform therapeutic exercises with guidance and real-time feedback through the Bloom app. This seamless integration of technology and personalized care makes it easier than ever to prioritize pelvic health in a private, supportive environment.
Eder Medical Plan members can discover how Bloom can enhance their health and well-being. If you’re not a member of Eder Medical Plan, ask your benefits representative about the pelvic health screenings available within your health plan.
