WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM AN OB-GYN VISIT?

What happens at the gynecologist’s depends on the reason for the visit and the individual’s situation.

If it is a young woman’s first visit, she may just have a chat with the doctor, get some general health information, and find out what to expect in the future.

At any visit with the gynecologist, it is worth remembering:

An honest account of your health concerns and lifestyle gives the gynecologist a better idea of your situation and enables them to help you more.
A gynecological examination, including a pap smear, may be uncomfortable, but it is not usually painful.
It is not necessary to wax or shave before the visit.
Bodily odor is natural. If it indicates a problem, the gynecologist needs to know.
If you have a period when the appointment is scheduled, you can still go ahead with the visit, but it may be better to postpone, unless you have symptoms that need urgent attention.
It is best to avoid sexual activity, using a vaginal douche, or using tampons for 2 days before a gynecological examination.

A patient can ask to have someone with them at the visit, either in the room or outside the door.
