Gynecology Q & A

What is gynecology?

Gynecology is a medical specialty concerning the health of a woman’s reproductive system. General gynecology focuses on the function of the reproductive organs when a woman isn’t pregnant. This includes the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, as well as the external genitalia and breasts.

The compassionate providers at Reno Tahoe Women’s Health are deeply committed to women’s health. They provide outstanding preventive care services, diagnosis, and treatment of all types of gynecologic conditions.

When should I see a gynecologist?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that beginning at age 13, teens and women should have an annual well-woman visit. Your well-woman appointment includes a physical examination of your vagina, cervix, and breasts. It may also include:

  • Cancer and other health screenings

  • Immunizations

  • Blood or urine tests

  • Pap smears

  • Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing

  • Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) treatment

  • Birth control services

  • Health counseling

If you have an ongoing condition that requires monitoring or you’ve had an abnormal Pap test, your provider may recommend more frequent check-ups. You should also see your gynecologist whenever you have unusual symptoms or concerns about your reproductive health.
