Gynecology:
Visiting your Gynecologist

As gynecologists, our goal is to understand your unique circumstances and tailor treatments to you.

Annual Well Woman Exam

We recommend you have a well-woman exam every year. It’s an annual physical and discussion about your health. Your well-woman exam is tailored to your age, health history, family health history, and needs for preventive screenings. In addition, your gynecologist works hard to stay up to date with new research in gynecology to bring to your care. Coming in for an annual well-woman exam is your best and easiest way to get access to the benefits of that research.

Start Exams in Adolescence

Annual exams should start when a girl reaches 13-15 years old, once she starts menstruating. Your gynecologist will include a pelvic exam if a girl is having specific problems or is sexually active. While there are many benefits to an annual exam for girls when they’re adolescents, we believe that the biggest benefit is developing the habit of seeing a gynecologist regularly and talking about issues that are on her mind when it comes to her reproductive health and sexuality. Our gynecologists see a number of teens annually and are experienced in treating these conversations respectfully and carefully.
