What should I expect at my annual exam?

You’re given the opportunity to discuss any concerns you have about your gynecologic health and share your health history. Your provider asks you the date of your last period, along with several questions about your menstrual cycle. 

For the physical exam, you wear a cloth gown and receive an additional sheet to drape over your lap. Your provider completes the pelvic exam and breast exam as gently as possible and discusses any STD testing or cancer screening tests you should receive based on your unique situation.
