Your first visit to an OBGYN is a milestone in your healthcare journey. Whether you’re a teenager, in your 20s, or coming in later in life, it can feel like a big step—but it doesn’t have to be stressful. At Women’s Excellence, our mission is to make every woman feel comfortable, informed, and empowered at each stage of life.
A first OBGYN visit is more than just a routine check-up—it’s the foundation of a long-term relationship with your healthcare provider. For many, this visit includes a full health history review, a pelvic and breast exam (depending on your age and symptoms), and possibly a Pap smear or STI screening. But most importantly, it’s a safe space to ask questions.
What to Expect:
- Review of personal and family medical history
- Menstrual cycle and symptom discussion
- Contraceptive counseling if needed
- A pelvic exam (if recommended based on age)
- Breast exam and self-check education
- STI testing depending on sexual history and risk
This appointment isn’t just about reproductive health—it’s about overall wellness. If you’re struggling with irregular periods, severe cramps, mood swings, or anything else, this is the place to bring it up. Our providers want to understand your whole health picture, not just check boxes.
It’s also common to feel anxious about your first visit. At Women’s Excellence, we strive to create a judgment-free environment that’s supportive and educational. You’re never “too young” or “asking too much.” Every question is valid.
Tips to Prepare:
- Bring a list of questions or concerns
- Know the date of your last period
- Be open about your health history—even the awkward stuff
- Wear comfortable clothing and arrive early to complete any paperwork
