When we think about spending a healthy life, we often make changes to our diet and incorporating exercise into our daily routine. But a regular checkup is equally important. For a woman, it is extremely critical that she goes for a well-woman exam.
A well-woman exam includes checking breast and pelvic area and also includes a pap smear. It is, therefore, a good opportunity for a woman to discuss with her gynecologist the concerns related to reproduction. Mostly the health care providers suggest having this exam every year.
The exam also provides a platform for a woman to share with her doctor specific questions related to her intimate life, parenting, hormonal changes, family planning, etc.
