Visiting a GYN provider for an annual exam is important for your health and quality of life.
Why is it important to visit your gynecology provider yearly?
To screen for GYN-related cancers, including cancer of the vulva, cervix, uterus and ovaries
To screen for breast cancer by clinical breast exam and imaging
To screen for STIs, if indicated, since many STIs can be asymptomatic and result in pelvic inflammatory conditions or impact fertility
To screen for many non-malignant GYN conditions like fibroids, pelvic masses, ovarian cysts, vulvar lesions, painful menses, painful intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence
To discuss trying to conceive or family planning
To discuss menopause and options for symptomatic treatment or hormone replacement
