Well Woman Exam
A Well Woman Exam, also called an annual gynecological exam or pelvic exam, happens once per year. Similar to your annual physical examination at your primary care physician's office, a Well Woman Exam is performed with your gynecologist's office annually. During a Well Woman Exam you might talk about your period, especially if you’re worried about it being heavy, painful, or irregular. If you’re under 18, you may get some shots, like the HPV vaccine.
At every stage of life you may start screening and more extensive preventative care:
-
Ages 21-24: You may choose to start getting Pap tests at this age if you want
-
Ages 25-65: HPV test (or a Pap and HPV test together) every 5 years
-
Ages 25-39: clinical breast exam every 1-3 years
-
Ages 40+: mammogram every 1-2 years.
