It doesn’t matter whether you’re considered middle-aged, young, or old, or whether you’re sexually active or not, a gynecological examination is absolutely essential for a woman’s health, and must not be ignored or avoided under any circumstances. They’re standard practice for women aged 21 and above, and consist of examinations of the pelvis, the breasts, and tests for STI’s (sexually transmitted infections). Whether you require a PAP smear or not, experts still recommend undergoing an annual well women exam. Here’s a brief, yet in depth look at what you should know about GYN exams.

Why Are Routine Gynecological Exams Important?
Undergoing regular gynecological examinations offers numerous benefits, as they can help women of all ages to prevent illnesses and diseases by early detection of various forms of cancer. Typically, gynecological examinations can detect cervical, breast, and uterine cancers at the earliest possible stages, which in turn makes them far more treatable, because the earlier a cancer is detected, the greater the chances of recovery will be. STD’s and other diseases and infections can also be detected before they spread, to prevent infertility or further health complications. Furthermore, they offer peace of mind when you receive the all clear from your doctor, and you know that you’re fit and healthy.

Menopause is caused by a change in the balance of the body’s sex hormones. In the lead up to the menopause oestrogen levels decrease, causing the ovaries to stop producing an egg each month. Oestrogen is the female sex hormone that regulates a woman’s periods. The fall in oestrogen also causes both physical and emotional symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.

When Should you Undergo OB/Gyn Exam?
Regular visits to your physician will provide you with the best possible health care, and help lay the foundation for improved health later in life as well. Typically, experts recommend the following healthcare for all females:
• Very first examination ( between the ages of 13 and 15)
• Breast examinations ( annually, beginning around the age of 19)
• Mammograms (annually, beginning around the age of 19)
• PAP tests (annually, beginning around the age of 21)
• Pelvic examinations (annually, beginning around the age of 21)
For women aged 30 or above, who have had regular results from PAP tests, should undergo further PAP tests every 2 years, whilst still undergoing regular OB/GYN examinations every 12 months. How ever, for women at a higher risk of certain illnesses and diseases, such as women with a history of breast cancer in their families the frequency of the exams should be increased.
What are “PAP Smear” Tests?
A pap smear is a simple, quick and effective way to check for cervical cell changes before they develop into cancer. All women aged 25 years and above who have had sex and /or are sexually active are at risk of developing cervical cancer, and should go for regular pap smear tests.
If the first pap smear is normal, subsequent pap smears can be done once every three years.

• Avoid sexual intercourse 48 hours before the test.
• Do not use spermicides, vaginal creams, lubricant jellies, vaginal medications and/or tampons 48 hours before the test.
