Questions to Ask Your Gynecologist

Q. How often should I be getting tested for STIs?

Your gynecologist in Arcadia, CA, will likely test you for STIs during a normal women’s health exam, but it’s important that you’re staying current, especially if you’re seeing more than one partner. You should be getting tested at least once a year if you’re sexually active.

Q. What screenings or tests need to be done this year?

Your gynecologist will help you stay on top of your health and can recommend different tests that you may need to be updated on. You may be up for a pap smear or mammogram and it’s important to ask your gynecologist what you can expect to be tested for at your appointment.

Q. Are the symptoms I’m experiencing normal?

If you’ve noticed changes in your body, such as unexpected weight loss or weight gain, or maybe an irregularity with your discharge, you should ask your gynecologist to be sure there’s nothing to worry about. These changes could also be your body telling you that something is wrong, so it’s important to discuss it with your doctor.
