Looking for a gynecologist in Cleveland
in Health ·
The checkup usually starts with a quick chat—just talking about what kind of birth control you're on, if you have any specific concerns, or if anything else is bothering you.
After that, they’ll do an ultrasound of your ovaries, uterus, and everything else down there, plus a breast ultrasound and a Pap smear (you'll usually get those results back in about ten days). If you're thinking about starting birth control, like the pill, the doctor will send you over for some blood work—mostly liver function and probably hormone levels—to figure out which option is the best fit for you.
Generally, you should aim to go once a year or every two years at most. It really depends on your health history; I'm doing fine, so I just go every two years. Good luck, I really hope everything turns out okay! 🙂
