When people think of going to the gynecologist, they generally associate it with this once a year trip. Although there are many other integral and beneficial services gynecologists provide, this cornerstone of the medical specialty has a great impact on women’s health.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that annual gynecology exams start between the ages of 13-15 and continue throughout a woman’s life. However, recommended frequency can increase if a woman is determined to be at higher risk of certain reproductive system diseases.

The goal of annual gynecology exams are to catch gynecological conditions and diseases in early stages when they are easier to treat.
