Annual exams and Pap smears

Your annual gynecological exams are an essential part of preventive care and allow you to open up about personal questions and concerns regarding your sexual and reproductive health. Your provider also performs Pap smears to check for cellular changes in your cervix. Such changes could indicate cervical cancer and other issues needing treatment.
