5 Questions to Ask at Your Next GYN Visit!
1. "Are my screenings up to date?"
Ask about Pap smears, HPV tests, breast exams, and STI screenings based on your age and risk.
2. “What birth control options are available for my needs?”
Your needs may change over time. Talk through hormonal vs. non-hormonal options, side effects, and goals.
3. "Can we talk about my menstrual cycle?"
Heavy, painful, or irregular periods aren’t always “normal.” Share any changes or symptoms—your cycle is a vital sign!
4. "Is what I’m experiencing with va**nal health normal?"
Don’t be afraid to ask about discharge, odor, dryness, or pain. Nothing is TMI with your GYN.
5. "What lifestyle changes could support my reproductive health?"
Diet, stress, exercise, and sleep all affect your GYN health. Get personalized tips based on your stage of life.
Come to your next appointment informed and ready.
