Gynecological Care
If you are a woman over the age of 18 (and earlier if you begin sexual activity before 18) regular gynecological examinations from an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) should be part of your health care routine.
Ob/gyn doctors specialize in general women's medical care, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the female reproductive system, as well as the care of women throughout pregnancy and childbirth. Most women should have an annual gynecological exam, with specific screenings that should be done every year and others at other intervals. Many women also find it helpful to have access to specialized OB/GYN medical advice at transitional times in life - puberty, preconception planning, pregnancy and menopause. Many conditions that affect gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health can be detected early, which, in most cases, provides for a more positive prognosis and successful treatment.
