Contraceptive pill check ups-UK

Hi again all,

Another quick question for women in the UK....During your periodic check ups whilst on the pill, does the doctor/nurse do anything besided check your blood pressure and weigh you?

Im from australia...and i dont even get that when i go to the doc. if i need a new priscription, i go to ANY doctor, even one ive never seen before, and just ask. then they just write it out. even when i first started the pill, i never had an exam. just got the script.

That is the standard check unless they report a problem. Every 3 years they will get a pap smear and breast check. One Dr was renowned for doing a breast exam at every visit - for a 'breast mouse' - but the girls would avoid him when word got round.

That is just a manual breast check, the full mammogramme screening does not kick in until age 50.

Mab, in the 1970s and early 80s when young women had their pill checkups, were they totally naked during their entire gyn exams without any sheet or gown or anything?
