How often should I have a well-woman exam?

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, you should have a well-woman visit at least once every year. Typically, this includes a pelvic exam, breast exam, and additional tests or health screenings depending on individual factors. 

If you have an ongoing gynecologic condition, or you recently had an abnormal Pap test, your physician may recommend more frequent checkups and screenings.
