What the regular gynecological check-up involves
The regular gynecological check-up is the cornerstone of prevention for every woman. It includes taking a history, a clinical examination and — depending on your age and your history — cervical cancer screening and an ultrasound assessment of the internal reproductive organs.
The aim is not only diagnosis but the early recognition of changes before they cause any symptoms. The individual tests that make up the check-up are described in detail in the sections that follow.
