A gynecological exam typically includes a pelvic examination, a Pap smear, and a breast exam. The doctor will check for any abnormalities in the reproductive organs and discuss any concerns you may have.
It is generally recommended to see a gynecologist once a year for a routine check-up. However, if you experience any abnormal symptoms such as irregular periods, unusual discharge, or pelvic pain, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
A Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It involves collecting cells from the cervix to look for any abnormalities. Regular Pap smears can help detect precancerous conditions early, making treatment more effective.
Treatment options vary depending on the specific disorder but can include medication, hormonal therapy, and, in some cases, surgery. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise may also be recommended.
