Question
How many times in a year do you have to see your gynecologist?
Answer
If you are sexually active, you will need to have a pap test once a year to screen for cancer, but a regular doctor can complete the test, as well. At that visit, you usually discuss screening for sexually transmitted infections and birth control, as well.
