Gynecologic & Colorectal Cancers

Early Detection is Your Best Protection!

Visit your doctor or other medical care provider regularly for a recto-vaginal pelvic examination, including a Pap smear.
During the examination, your doctor or nurse will check your reproductive organs, bladder and rectum to be sure that the size and shape seem normal. They will check for the presence of tumors, cysts or lumps and other warning signs.

This is a good time to talk to your doctor about any problems, symptoms or changes you have noticed and to ask questions about your gynecologic health. Take this resource guide with you if you need help. Don’t hesitate to ask any question you have. It could save your life!
