What to expect from your consultation with a gynaecologist at Turó Park Clinics?
We know that many women are nervous before their gynaecological exam and it is our goal to try to make you as comfortable as possible. We will tell you ahead of your visit what will happen so there are no surprises.
In general, our gynaecologist will examine the outer part of the vagina (called the perineum) and the internal genital organs using a tool called a speculum. During this internal exam, the gynaecologist will be looking to make sure the vagina, vaginal discharge, and cervix (the mouth of the uterus) all look healthy.
The gynaecologist will also feel the size and shape of your uterus and ovaries, as well as your breasts for any lumps, bumps, or concerning changes.
In a younger or non-sexually-active patients, these internal examinations may not be performed. Pap smears for cervical cancer screening are performed only after age 25.
