Gynecology is healthcare for women. It protects your sexual and reproductive health. Routine gynecological care:
- prevents illness and discomfort
- allows for early detection of cancers of the breast and cervix--when they are more curable
- detects sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other conditions before they cause serious damage
- prevents sterility
- eases pregnancy and childbirth
Staying healthy is important. Whether you're young or old, married or single, sexually active or not, or whether you're lesbian, straight, bisexual--good gynecological care is the key. Take control of your health. It takes teamwork to have good health. Learn what is normal for your body and what is not. Watch for changes in your body and its rhythms that may signal problems. Your clinician will help you identify problems before they become serious and will provide care if you become ill. Team up with your clinician for routine GYN exams. Learn how the GYN exam can work for you. You should have a routine GYN exam every year if you are sexually active or over age 18.
