It is normal for many women to feel nervous or uncertain before their visit to the gynecologist. It means accepting the fact that you have stepped from girlhood into womanhood. A gynecologist helps you listen to your body more carefully. With regular gynaecological check-up, you can take control of your physical, sexual, and reproductive well-being including - birth control, childbirth, and menopause. An ob-gyn also screens for cancer, treats infections, and performs surgery for pelvic organ or urinary tract problems.
