Annual Gynecology Exams
It is important for women to keep their reproductive and overall health on the right track with scheduled annual well-woman examinations. This visit includes a thorough review of your medical history, family history and current medications as well a complete breast exam and pelvic exam (if you are sexually active). Even if you are not due for pap screening, a pelvic exam is still performed to screen for other gynecologic cancers and infections.
A well-woman visit provides an excellent opportunity to discuss a healthy lifestyle and address risk factors that may contribute to future gynecologic issues.
Even though you may feel healthy, it’s still very important to schedule an annual visit with your OBGYN provider to go over all aspects of your health, including:
Reproductive health exam and pap screening
Breast cancer screenings
Contraceptive options
Menstrual history
Preventative health maintenance
