An annual gynecological exam typically includes several components:
Medical History Review: The doctor will review your personal and family medical history, focusing on any changes or new symptoms since your last visit. Physical Examination: This includes measuring vital signs like blood pressure, weight, and height. Breast Exam: The physician checks for lumps or other changes in the breast tissue. Pelvic Exam: This exam assesses the health of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Pap Smear: A screening test for cervical cancer, typically recommended every three years for women aged 21-65. STD Screening: Testing for sexually transmitted diseases, based on individual risk factors and sexual activity.
