An annual gynecological exam is an important part of preventative care.
Overview
For women and people born as women, an annual gynecological exam is a chance for a provider to review their reproductive system and overall sexual health. It may involve things like:
- A breast exam
- A pelvic exam
- A Pap smear
- Testing for STIs and STDs
- Blood or urine tests
However, what exactly the exam includes will depend on the patient's health and any concerns they have.
