You should get your breast exam as frequently as your provider recommends.
How Do I Prepare for a Breast Exam?
There are a few things you can do to prepare for your breast exam at Garden OB/GYN, just to ensure you get the most out of your visit and to help your doctor better understand your health.
It’s helpful to:
- Transfer your medical records from your previous gynecologist to Garden OB/GYN
- Make a list of all of your current medications and supplements
- Know the first date of your last menstrual period
If you’re due for a Pap smear, try to schedule your appointment at NYC, Queens, and Long Island on a day when you’re not on your period because menstrual flow could affect your results. Or if you need a blood draw, you might need to fast for several hours beforehand, but you can ask the caring team at Garden OB/GYN ahead of time if this applies to you.
