Frequently Asked Question’s
Well woman exams are important because they allow for early detection of any changes or abnormalities in the reproductive system which could indicate a more serious health condition. By catching these conditions early, treatment can be more effective and less invasive. This exam includes screening for breast cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical cancer.
HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital warts, cervical cancer, and anal cancer (commonly caused by anal intercourse), and cancer of the throat. HPV Infections are common. According to the CDC, currently more than 42 million Americans are infected with HPV types that cause disease. About 13 million Americans, including teens become infected every year. Most HPV infections go away on their own within two years, but sometimes they last longer and can cause cancer. Getting an HPV vaccine can protect against genital warts, throat cancer and cervical cancer.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that more than 95% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV. Screening for HPV is intended to prevent or identify cervical cancer early when it is curable.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for children ages 11 or 12 before they become sexually active. However, people ages 9-45 can get the HPV vaccine to protect against genital warts and cervical cancer.
Your first well woman exam should be scheduled when you become sexually active or when you turn 21. You should have a well woman exam at least once every year. If you are over the age of 40 or have any risk factors for reproductive health conditions, you may need to have more frequent exams.
During a well woman exam, your provider will examine your breasts, vagina, and cervix. They will also perform a pap smear to test for abnormalities in the cervical cells. You may also be screened for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other reproductive health conditions.
Yes. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, you should continue to have an annual screening. In addition, this exam is time to speak with your provider about menopause symptoms, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, painful sexual intercourse, loss of libido, sexually transmitted infections, and general medical issues.
