The Importance of Regular Checkups

Regular gynecological checkups are essential for maintaining reproductive health. These visits allow for early detection of potential issues, such as infections or abnormal growths. It is recommended that women start having annual checkups at the age of 21 or when they become sexually active.

What to Expect During a Checkup

During a checkup, your gynecologist will perform a pelvic exam, a Pap smear, and may discuss contraceptive options. These exams are crucial for monitoring your health and addressing any concerns you may have.

Don't wait for symptoms to arise; proactive care is key.
