This video is about a women going into her first pelvic exam. The video shows the woman's feelings and anticipation before, during, and after her exam. A pelvic exam checks organs in the reproductive system. Before the check-up, the physician needs to know about any medications, sexual activity, possible pregnancy, and vaginal discharge. During the pelvic exam, a woman will have a pap smear. A pap smear is taking samples of cells from the cervix looking for any abnormal cells that may become cancerous. A woman usually has a pelvic exam once a year or more if something looks abnormal. Available in VHS format.
