Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a female gynecologist near me?
Yes! In fact, we have both female and male gynecologists at all 5 of our locations. Read more about our team of physicians.
Why do I need to get an annual exam?
It is important to attend your annual exam each year. Your pelvic organs are not visible on the outside of your body and it is important to get a thorough examination on a yearly basis to identify things that are unseen and could be treated simply if found early. However, your provider will determine if a pap smear is necessary at the time of your visit.
At your annual exam, your provider will conduct a breast exam to identify if there are any lumps in the breast or any visible breast changes. Your provider will also do a pelvic exam which involves a visual exam of your genitalia and an internal exam of your vagina and cervix. This will help identify issues such as genital warts, herpes, yeast infections, uterine fibroids, and more. A pap smear will also be done during your pelvic exam (if applicable) to help identify any cervical abnormalities that could indicate cervical cancer.
Your annual exam is also a great time to discuss any other questions and concerns you may have including birth control options, bladder issues, pre-pregnancy questions, and weight issues.
What happens if my pap smear comes back abnormal?
An abnormal pap smear is actually very common. An abnormal pap smear means that your test came back positive for abnormal cells on your cervix. This does not mean that you have cervical cancer! Depending on the type of abnormal results you receive, you may need to have further testing done. Additional tests include a colposcopy and/or biopsy. During a colposcopy, your provider will exam your cervix with a bright light to get a better look at the suspicious area. At this point, your provider may or may not take a biopsy of the area for further testing.
