Can a family doctor take care of female problems and pap smear?
Family physicians all have special training in gynecology. When performing annual exams, we review a complete history and physical on the patient, not limiting our scope to female problems. We understand the long-term ramifications of perimenopause and menopause and abnormal pap smears. We are trained to treat hormone imbalances, menopause, abnormal breast lumps, suspicious pap smears and other medical concerns that arise during the annual exam.
