Normal doctor vs. gynecologist?!


Question:

Normal doctor vs. gynecologist?

If your general practitioner does pap smears and pelvic exams, should you stick with them for the gynocological exams or is it better to go to a gynecologists since they're specialist in that area?


Answers:

Most primary care physicians when they hear that you have gone to a gynecologist for a pap smear and annual check up prefer that you stick with the gynecologist since they do this every day. The primary care physician only does this about once or twice a week.

I would recommend checking with your primary care physician as well to see what they say about being comfortable with doing your pap smears or leaving it to a gynecologist because every dr is different.
