Regular Chekups for Moms – Part 2

If you are going to your annual checkup with the gynecologist there are things to go to make it a more successful appointment.

Bring all of your medications including your vitamins and other supplements.  We don’t always remember how many milligrams we take or how often we take them so by bringing them all the doctor can double check on possible conflicts with other medication.

If there are specific issues that a regular checkup doesn’t cover, you might want to make an extra appointment to discuss something that is bothering you.  After you give your doctor your medicine information and your history, he/she will probably be able to make a diagnosis.  If you feel your doctor is annoyed by this seemingly unimportant visit, then change your doctor.  If the exam left you dissatisfied and you need more information to feel all right, then you might pursue further testing to find the culprit.

As we all know, insurance hampers a lot of things that need attention.  You might have to pay out-of-pocket for the tests you want done.  Buckle up on that one because you know that it will pay you back in spades if they find something wrong.  You need to feel good in your body with all of the things moms need to do.

There are answers to your questions and there are things to do to make you feel whole again.  Take advantage of that.
