For a comprehensive physical, many women choose to have their gynecologist serve as their primary care provider. It is recommended that you visit a gynecologist at least once a year so your physician can check for cancer risk factors, STDs (if you are sexually active), and other abnormalities. Additionally, if you want to have children someday, your gynecologist can keep track of your reproductive health.
The gynecology team at Central Valley Medical Center provides comprehensive exams so you can remain well-informed and up to date on your health. We proudly serve the local Central Valley area, including Juab County and the surrounding counties.
Your gynecologist is responsible for performing several exams for your sexual and reproductive health. The frequency you receive these exams varies depending on your risk factors and family history, but it is important to schedule at least one visit a year for a general checkup.
Some of the services provided by our gynecology department include:
You will not need to undergo all of these tests every visit. Generally speaking, many screenings can be done once every 1 to 3 years if you do not have any risk factors. If an abnormality is discovered, however, your gynecologist will likely recommend you receive another screening next year.
