 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: When should I schedule my first well-woman exam? A: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a young woman have her first visit between the ages of 13 and 15. The first pelvic exam or Pap test is typically recommended starting at age 21.

Q: How often do I need a Pap test? A: Current guidelines recommend a Pap test every three years for women ages 21-65. If combined with an HPV test, the interval may be extended to every five years for women over 30. Your provider will recommend the screening schedule that is right for you based on your age and health history.

Q: Do I still need a wellness exam after menopause? A: Yes. Regular check-ups remain crucial after menopause to monitor for conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis, perform cancer screenings, and manage your overall health as you age.
