How many gyno exams a year?

My husband feels I need to go 4 times a year for an exam. Twice by my gyn and twice a year by my reg doctor.

My girl friend every six months to get a pill but sometimes she get it by the GP.

My doc recommends once a year, but sometimes i go in more often because i am "worried"

More than once a year sounds excessive to me, but if i was going along to watch, I would not be complaining 😃

For a woman in good health, once a year is fine. The only problem is most GYN's only do a "pussy check" and ignore the rest of the body. If that is the case, you also need to see your internist with some degree of regularity for complete exams and blood tests, like at least every other year. Some MD's may want you more if you are on the pill, others will just refill your Rx between visits if your history is unremarkable.

My GYN is very thorough. She checks everything once a year.

I see my family doctor onec a year and my gyn once a year.

I see my Gyn once a year for my breast and pelvic exam. I see my family physician once a year for a check up, blood work, and general health.

I see my gyn once a year for my annual, and also see my family doctor once a year for a complete physical which also includes a breast, pap and pelvic. i have them staggered so that i get an exam every six months.

Because of my mom, I have at least two complete physicals each year. But lots of minor ones whenever she feels it's needed.

I also have four gyne exams a year. Twice a year at two different groups. One group in Illinois and the other in Florida. All males and all required by my husband. Not just for my health.

I think that once a year is the usual

I'd say once a year would be good, or maybe twice: once for the gyno, and once for the regular doctor, unless something is wrong. Even when renewing a birth control prescription I do not think it is necessary to have a check at every renewal.

I have two gyn exams in one year. But she does only the gyn stuff, nothing else like height, weight, ears, nose throat,...

I see my gynecolgist every 6 months but I had an aunt that had cervical cancer so I want to be extra careful

Once a year minimum. More often if needed such as prenatal care and etc.

I see my internist 4-6 times a year, my nephrologist at least 4 times a year, my GYN once a year and my retina specialist about twice a month. I spend more time in waiting rooms than I do anywhere else.

Gf goes once a year

My wife goes once per year.

Once a year before chrismas

Wife goes once a year.

I see a gynecologist once a year for my annual well woman exam. I also see a Family Practice doctor for a check up every year or year and a half, not as diligent about that as seeing my gyno.

I try and have a gyn exam every year, but that doesn't always happen.

If I'm at the doctors for any other reason, sometimes my breasts get examined. But I self exam my breasts so hopefully no surprises.

Wife and Special Friend go to my OB-GYN once a year while I have to go twice a year.

Just for those who don't know, the Dr. is also a flight physician doing mandated FAA flight medical exams for pilots. So yes I have a GYN Dr.

The nurses usually threaten to "put you in the stirrups if you don't behave" but so far they have not followed through.

My wife hasn't gone in over 3 years ... she used to go every year for either pills or cuz of being pregnant

I go to my ob/gyn once a year, to my asthma doctor twice a year and I have to have a work physical very 3 years. I think I have all the bases cover, lol.

I now go once a year. When I still lived at home I was taken 3-4 times a year. That was in addition to mom's home 'exams.'

Four times a year is a lot of you don't have anything wrong with you. Usually they say once per year for both unless you're having a problem. My insurance won't even cover more that.

I go every 18 month +/- and my doctor does all the exams

Not sure if this is directed at women (gyno forum) or in general. I go to the doctor between three and four times a year (about every three-and-a-half months) because I take Lipitor and you need to have periodic blood tests to make sure there is no liver impairment. I take a very low dose, 10mg every other day, and never had any issues. Still, they run a routine blood panel every time as well as a cardiogram and other vital stats. I figure if something starts going wrong, it will be caught early and hopefully be treatable. As my doctor often tells me, I am one of his healthiest patients and the fact that I exercise and generally take reasonable care of myself makes him happy (he tells me about having patients who come in and expect everything to be done for them). Also I am a blood donor (six gallons to date) which makes him happy as his speciality is cardiology and blood is needed in his business.
