Comprehensive annual visits
An annual visit with your St. Luke's gynecologist is more than just a check-up. It's a vital part of your overall health and wellness strategy. During your visit, your physician is able to conduct a physical examination, a pelvic examination, and a clinical breast examination. Our gynecologists are also able to provide counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and address any potential health concerns. Your annual visit may also include Pap tests for cervical cancer screening, as recommended based on age and medical history.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) don’t always have obvious symptoms. Although condoms are effective in reducing transmission, no method is 100% foolproof. If you think you have a STI, or have been exposed, you need to see a doctor. Symptoms may include pain, discharge, burning or pain with urination, bleeding, itching, fever and swollen lymph nodes. Timely diagnosis and treatment can avoid serious health problems and infecting others. Some STIs can be treated easily, while others require long-term treatment.
If you are sexually active or are thinking about becoming sexually active, speak to your OB/GYN to learn how to protect yourself. If you think you have contracted an STI, schedule an appointment with a trusted St. Luke’s physician today by calling St. Luke’s InfoLink toll-free at 1-866-STLUKES.
