Every woman should undergo an annual check-up with their gynecologist beginning around age 21 or when they first become sexually active. Your well woman exam will include a breast exam, pelvic exam, and a pap test. For women who are 40 years old or older, a mammogram should be performed every 1-2 years. At Dr. Richard A Beyerlein, MD in Eugene, we offer comprehensive screening services for breast cancer, HPV, and other common reproductive conditions. Your annual check-up with your gynecologist will provide you with a designated time to discuss a wide range of topics including family planning, concerns about your period, and any issues that are affecting your intimate relationships.
