Routine check-up a year

For women without symptoms, a routine gynecological check-up is generally recommended once a year. The interval for screening such as smear and HPV tests depends on age and previous results.

Routine Check-Up

What happens during a gynecological examination?

I begin every gynecological examination by listening to your concerns and medical history. I adapt the scope to your age, symptoms and wishes, explain each step beforehand, and we can pause whenever you feel uncomfortable.

Before your appointment: If a smear test is planned, avoid vaginal douching, vaginal medicines or creams and intercourse on the day before. For a routine check-up, a time after your period has ended is preferable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about gynecology in Antalya

These are the questions my patients ask me most often. We clarify the answer for your own situation together after an examination.

For women without symptoms, a routine gynecological check-up is generally recommended once a year. The interval for screening such as smear and HPV tests depends on age and previous results. If a new symptom appears, it is best to seek care without waiting for your routine check-up.

Even without a specific symptom, a first visit can take place during adolescence, especially for questions about periods or information about the HPV vaccine. A first visit does not always require an internal examination; its scope depends on the person’s age, symptoms and wishes.

A gynecological examination may cause mild discomfort for many people, but it is usually not painful. Each step is explained during the examination, and you can say if you feel uncomfortable and ask to pause at any time.

In an emergency, your period is no obstacle to an examination. For a routine check-up or tests such as a smear, it is usually recommended to choose a time after your period has ended.

It helps to note the date of your last period, the medicines you take and how long your symptoms have lasted. If a smear test is planned, it is recommended to avoid vaginal douching, vaginal medicines or creams and intercourse on the day before your appointment.

Any vaginal bleeding after menopause, even a small amount, is a symptom that needs to be assessed. Seeing an obstetrician and gynecologist without delay is recommended to find the cause.
