WHY VISIT A GYNECOLOGIST IF ONE HAS NO PROBLEMS?

The gynecological exam is designed as a preventive measure to screen for cervical cancer and breast cancer, as well as to detect abnormalities such as cysts in the ovaries. The visit also ensures that a woman who is sexually active uses appropriate contraception if she does not wish to become pregnant, or it will permit you to discuss family planning issues. The gynecologist also provides measures to prevent transmission or contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, which in today's times does not only mean Venereal Diseases but also conditions like Hepatitis B & HIV.
