Every stage of a woman’s life requires health management and disease prevention and detection, which is why it’s so important to have annual exams even if you are feeling well.
Appropriate pap smears, pelvic exams, breast exams, and an honest conversation with your doctor are the best ways to detect a number of diseases and cancers at early, treatable stages. These yearly appointments are also opportunities to learn about the stage of your life you’re in or entering, and what to expect from your body’s natural rhythms.
