What Happens at a Gynecologist Appointment?

A gynecological appointment can be quite comprehensive, but we keep the process easy for our patients. In fact, you may be surprised by how relaxed it is, especially once you get to know your doctor.

New Patients Onboarding

The first step is generally a review of your personal and family history to establish any tendencies toward certain health conditions that could be genetic. We’ll also ask you about any current health problems you may have and which medications you’re taking. As some medicines interact negatively with others, we need to know about your current medical condition to offer the best treatment options.

Then, your doctor will go over your lifestyle. This includes alcohol consumption, drug use, diet, exercise habits, and your housing situation. Mental health factors are also evaluated, such as how you handle stress and your responsibilities. Mental health affects physical health, and one of our specialties is providing therapy and counseling services.

Gynecologists focus on women’s health, so you can also expect discussions about pregnancy or birth control, depending on your current needs. If you are approaching or past age 40, we’ll discuss menopause and healthy aging.

Personalized Care

Physical exams are generally what people dread the most during gynecology appointments. However, they are not always necessary. They typically depend on your age or extenuating circumstances rather than being a necessity for every visit. Remember, annual exams don’t have to take place every visit.

If you do receive a physical exam, it may include a pelvic exam, a cervical cancer screening, and a breast exam. If you come for a well woman exam, your gynecologist will provide the above-mentioned exams as well as STI testing/treatment, a nutritional evaluation, and chronic health screenings. Care options depend on your age, current state of health, and other factors. We adapt our services depending on what you need personally.

When Should You Get a Gynecologic Checkup?

The first visit to a gynecologist for teenage girls should be scheduled between the ages of 13-15 years. There’s no need to get anxious because this first visit does not include a pelvic exam. The goal is to meet the doctor, develop a relationship, and talk about age-appropriate issues such as development, body image, weight management, and immunizations. This is also a good time to talk about contraception and preventing sexually transmitted diseases.

Before the age of 21, there’s no need to schedule a pelvic examination unless symptoms indicate a problem or you’re sexually active and need birth control. You should get a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer at age 21, then every three years between the ages of 21-29, and every five years if you’re 30-65.

After you turn 21, your doctor at Tidewater Physicians for Women will recommend how often you should come in for a checkup and get a Pap smear based on your overall health, age, sexual activity, and medical history. Regular preventive care is always important to protect your health and detect problems early.
