Gynecology Q&A

Why should I do a gynecology exam?

To have the cervix tested for precancerous or cancerous conditions and to test for human papillomavirus (HPV). To evaluate bladder, vaginal, erectile and uterus prolapse. Screening for sexually transmitted diseases should be done for women with symptoms or at high risk. (i.e unprotected intercourse, multiple sexual partners)

What can I expect from a gynecology exam?

A device called a speculum will be placed inside the vagina to visualize the cervix and walls of the vagina. Swabs for sexually transmitted infections and scrapings of cervical tissue (pap smear) will be done. A manual exam will be done by Dr. Anucha to evaluate the uterus and ovaries.

What should I expect for my first Pap smear?

Minor discomfort or cramping, possible spotting afterward.

Does a pap smear hurt?

Not generally.

Today was my first day meeting him physically and I must say I was very impressed. He was very detailed with instructions, polite, respectful and I felt more than comfortable... I think the next seven months experience will be very good.

If I could give Dr. Anucha a Million Stars I would. My husband and I were incredibly lucky to find Dr. Anucha as our doctor. He is very professional & made us feel comfortable. He explained everything and answered all of our questions.

He is a great Doctor! He is intelligent, attentive, makes you feel comfortable, always has a smile. Staff is friendly.

Gracias por su amabilidad y buen atendimiento gracias Dr Anucha y gracias a su personal.

I recommend Dr. Anucha to everyone. He is a great doctor and cares about his patients. If you are pregnant, you get to see your baby every visit. The staff is wonderful and even remember your name when you walk in the building.
