Gynocology Q & A

What is a gynecological exam?

A gynecological exam, also referred to as a well-woman exam, focuses on your reproductive organs. To get the most accurate picture of your health, Dr. Madapati conducts a thorough examination, which includes a physical, pelvic, and breast exam.

Physical exam

The physical in your gynecological exam is similar to what you might expect during your regular physical. Dr. Madapati checks your:

  • Height and weight
  • Blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing sounds
  • Ears, eyes, and throat
  • Reflexes

She also assesses your internal organs by palpating your abdomen to feel for any abnormalities.

Pelvic exam

During the pelvic exam, Dr. Madapati examines both your external and internal reproductive organs. The exam includes:

  • Visual exam of your vulva
  • Use of a speculum to check your vagina and cervix
  • Palpation of your internal organs

During the pelvic portion of your exam, Dr. Madapati may also perform a Pap smear where she takes a sample of cervical cells to assess for changes.

Breast exam

Dr. Madapati also does a breast exam for lumps or any other abnormalities during your well-woman visit. Most importantly, she teaches you how to check yourself at home so you can monitor breast tissue change in between your annual exams.

How often do I need a Pap smear?

You should have a Pap smear every three years. Women should start this test at age 21. If you don’t have a cervix, you don’t need a Pap smear. You may also no longer need this test if you’re over age 65. However, Dr. Madapati may continue the Pap smear if she has concerns about your gynecological health.

When should I get tested for sexually transmitted diseases?

If you have concerns about STDs, you should get tested. It’s especially important for women to get tested due to the effects STDs can have on your long-term health, including fertility.

Dr. Madapati offers full-panel STD testing at her office, which may include:

  • Urine test
  • Blood test
  • Cheek swab
  • Test for vaginal discharge

Common STDs she may test for include gonorrhea, chlamydia, and human papillomavirus (HPV).
