Gynecology

In general, at least one gynecologic visit per year with preventive exams is recommended. The ideal frequency may vary according to each patient’s age and health history.

When necessary, the appointment can be complemented by imaging exams performed in our own clinic, such as ultrasound, for a more complete diagnosis.

No. Routine visits are precisely for prevention: many gynecologic conditions have no symptoms at first, and regular follow-up allows them to be identified early.

If possible, bring previous exams, a list of medications you take and notes about your menstrual cycle. This information helps build a complete history and an individualized care plan.

Mild cramps can be part of the cycle, but intense pain that disrupts your routine deserves investigation — it may be associated with conditions such as endometriosis. Seek medical evaluation for an appropriate diagnosis.
