What Happens During Your Gynecology Exam: • Check Vital Signs • Ultrasound Exam • Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening • Breast Exam • Pap Smear A gynecologist is a doctor who has been specially trained in women’s reproductive healthcare. You should see you gynecologist when: • When you first start having sexual relations (vaginal, oral or anal). • Have lower stomach pain, fever, and discharge (fluid coming from your vagina) that is yellow, gray, or green with a strong smell. (Those symptoms may be an indication caused by sexual transmitted infections) However not all discharges are symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Getting Routine Gynecology Care Will: • Help you understand your body and how it works • Establish what is normal for you • Find problems early so they can be treated • Help you learn how to protect yourself against sexual transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancy. Getting care on a regular basis is important. Your doctor will talk to you about how to take care of your changing body, how to tell if you have a vaginal infection, why abstinence is the healthiest choice when you are very young, and how to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections if you are sexually active. A doctor (or a birth control councilor if you prefer) will also talk to you about your period, and will help to answer any others questions you may have. Part of your first visit may be just to talk so you can get to know each other. Your doctor may ask a lot of questions about you and your family. You can also ask the doctor any questions you have. You don’t have to be scared or embarrassed. "You can talk to us about anything no question is too small."
