I personally see the gynecologist as a slightly unpleasant necessity and do my annual check up and pap smear. But a lot of women are afraid, or too cheap, to go.
Apart from check ups, you should really go when you have itching, burning, strange discharges or funky odours coming from your vagina.
Plus, you never know what might be "silently" going wrong up in there. I have a friend who had no idea she had an infection until she got a pelvis examination.
So, how many of you have ever gone to a gynecologist? Why have you avoided it thus far?
