During a gynecological check-up, a variety of procedures may be performed, including:
- Medical History: Your healthcare provider will ask about your menstrual cycle, sexual activity, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. - Physical Exam: This includes a general physical examination and a breast exam to check for lumps or abnormalities. - Pelvic Exam: The doctor will examine the external and internal reproductive organs. This may include a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer. - Additional Tests: Depending on your symptoms or risk factors, other tests such as an ultrasound or blood tests may be recommended.
