Pap Smear and Breast Exams
Annual well-woman exams are important to maintaining a happy, healthy life and preventing infection, disease, or other abnormalities. Since early detection is important in treating nearly every condition, especially diseases like cancer, regular exams can help spot any abnormalities right away.
A gynecological exam, breast exam, and Pap smear are recommended each year for women who are sexually active or over the age of 21. During these exams, your doctor will check for signs of breast cancer, cervical cancer, STDs, infections, or other abnormalities. Well-woman care is one of the most important steps you can take in preventing disease.
