Although many women see a doctor only when they are sick,
you should visit your physician on a regular basis to take
advantage of the many sophisticated tests for the early
diagnosis of potentially life-threatening cancers that
affect women. Annual gynecological exams continue to be
an important way to preserve and protect your health, for
young women in their late teen years as well as for women
who have undergone hysterectomy or are post-menopausal.
