Most women who fear the gynecological exam are surprised by how easy and simple it was!.
Women under 30 years of age often visit a gynecologist for contraception, cytology, venereal disease tests and to investigate abnormal changes in the abdomen.
Women between 25 and 45 years of age often visit a gynecologist for consultations on contraception, pregnancy, fertility verification and medical follow-up during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant also come for an ultrasound with their partners. Remember: If you are nervous or unsure about the examination, you should talk to your gynecologist.
Women aged 40 years or older often seek help for complaints related to menopause, changes in the abdomen, infections or other problems. There is also a small period of a few years in which the risk of some types of cancer may increase.
Women over 75 years of age can come for Pap smears every three years. They may still experience changes and problems in the abdomen, and some people visit a gynecologist to feel reassured.
