A member asked:

Are women supposed to have a yearly physical with a gynecologist and a regular doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physical: You should have a female exam/physical exam on a regular basis. These can be from your Gynecologist or your Family Doctor. The important thing is that you are getting all your regular screening and preventative medicine exams and procedures done. Things such as flu shots, labs, pap smears, breast exams, etc. Hope that helps.
