gynecological screening

Gynecological screening refers to medical tests that help monitor and maintain women's reproductive health. These screenings often include pelvic exams, Pap smears to detect cervical cancer, and breast examinations. They may also involve tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and assessments of overall reproductive health. Regular screenings are recommended based on age and risk factors, as they can lead to early detection of potential health issues, allowing for timely treatment. Women are encouraged to discuss their health history and screening schedule with their healthcare provider to ensure appropriate care.
