How Can Women Prepare for Gynecological Surveillance?
To prepare for a gynecological check-up, women should:
Schedule the appointment at a time when they are not menstruating, if possible. Avoid using vaginal creams, medications, or douches 48 hours before the exam. Prepare a list of questions or concerns to discuss with their healthcare provider. Be honest about their medical history, sexual activity, and any symptoms they may be experiencing.
