Annual Gyn Exam

Gynecology exams, like well-woman exams, are important for any woman’s general health. A pap smear is sometimes part of a well-woman visit, but not always. Pap smears should be done for virtually all women, but the intervals for the test vary. These visits are an opportunity for women to check in with their GYN on any health or lifestyle changes, and continue to build on a trusting relationship with the doctor. An annual visit also allows the doctor to check for any underlying health conditions or disease that may otherwise go undetected. Staying up to date on well woman visits will ensure optimal, ongoing health for each woman, through all stages of life.
