preventive-health-screenings-for-womenAs a women, do you understand the results of the exams you receive from your gynecologist?

There seems to be a misunderstanding that might be exacerbated by new guidelines that women should have a pap smear done every three years.

This leads some women to think they don’t need to visit their gynecologist for 3 years, when in fact, the annual exam covers several body parts including the uterus, breasts and ovaries as well as other preventive healthcare checks including STD screenings, mammograms, blood pressure checks and weight checks.

Listen as Megan Fish, NP clears up some of the confusion and discusses the importance of yearly preventive health screenings for women.
