We will connect you with an  OB-GYN when specialized care is needed

A yearly physical exam is recommended for women

The yearly exam will include a vaginal examination but may or may not include a pap-smear, depending on the advice from your provider as they will take into account your personal history, sexualy activity, and age when making the determination on whether or not a pap smear is needed

During your physical exam expect your provider to discuss with you the importance of mammogram screenings

Mammograms are recommended on a yearly basis

During this physical exam it is important to discuss family planning options, birth control if needed, and any other reproductive health questions you might have
