Make yearly appointments to see a gynecological health care provider, or more often if you have a concern. Be honest with your doctor or other health care professional. Speak up when you don't understand something. Follow the recommendations you and your doctor or other health care professional have chosen. You may have heard or read news stories about doctors or other health care professionals who act inappropriately.
Inappropriate behavior is pretty unlikely.
Most are respectful professionals who want you to feel comfortable. However, if you are concerned, knowledge and intuition are the best weapons against such advances. During your health history interview, keep your eyes and ears open for disconcerting behavior. Feel free to ask that a nurse is present during the exam.
