How often do you see your women’s health provider?

As recommended — I see them once a year.

Only whenever I remember to, but I’m usually pretty good about staying on track.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen them, but not more than a few years.

My who?

If and when you do see your women’s health provider, how do you prepare for your appointment?

I bring a list of questions, concerns, and any medications I’m currently taking.

I think of what I want to talk about on the drive there.

I usually just wing it and try to remember everything I want to talk about when I’m at the appointment.

You can’t prepare for something you don’t do.

How would you describe your relationship with your women’s health provider?

They’re my healthcare bestie.

I’m not completely comfortable around them just yet, but we’re getting there.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think we’re a good fit.

Again, who are we talking about?

How open are you with your women’s health provider?

They know my relationship status, health goals, and probably my favorite ice cream flavor.

They’re up-to-date with most of my health needs, but I could be a little more open and honest.

I don’t tell them everything because I’m embarrassed, scared, or feeling some other kind of hesitancy.

You can’t be open with someone you never see…

You have a new female health concern, such as a change in vaginal discharge or a lump in your breast. What do you do?

Make an appointment with my women’s health provider — they’ll know what to do!

Wait until my next annual appointment (which is months away). It can’t be a big deal, right?

Search the internet, my trusted source for women’s health.

Ignore it. It’ll probably go away.

Which of the following topics are you LEAST likely to bring up with your women’s health provider because you’re embarrassed or uncomfortable?

What’s normal — and what’s not — when it comes to my body
