How often should I go to my doctor for a check-up?
There are several health screenings women should receive to stay healthy and be proactive about their health. All adult women ages 18 and over should receive an annual well-woman exam that includes a clinical breast exam and pelvic exam. If any unusual symptoms or changes in your breasts occur before your scheduled visit, do not hesitate to contact your doctor. Your doctor might advise that you watch to see if the abnormality persists through your next menstrual period, or they might recommend that a diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound be done.
