What’s Included in a Gynecological Assessment
Gynecological assessments are designed to evaluate your reproductive health, diagnose any underlying conditions, and determine the best course of treatment. Depending on your symptoms and medical history, your visit may include:
- Pelvic and abdominal exam to assess reproductive organs and check for tenderness, swelling, or masses
- Pap smear and HPV screening to detect abnormal cervical cells or viral infections
- STI testing to rule out infections that may affect reproductive health
- Transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound to view ovaries, uterus, and other pelvic structures
- Menstrual cycle and hormonal evaluation
- Urinalysis and lab work, if needed, to assess for infection or systemic concerns
We may also perform additional tests or imaging to evaluate for specific concerns such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometrial abnormalities.
Common Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Many gynecological conditions can significantly impact your daily life, but they are manageable with timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We specialize in identifying and managing:
- Endometriosis: Chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and fertility challenges
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Hormonal imbalance affecting ovulation, menstrual cycles, and often linked to insulin resistance
- Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths that may cause heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure
- Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries, sometimes causing discomfort or complications
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Infection of the reproductive organs, often stemming from untreated STIs
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Irregular, heavy, or prolonged menstrual bleeding that can disrupt quality of life
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse: When pelvic organs shift or drop due to weakened muscles, often after childbirth or with age
- Urinary Incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine, common among women of all ages
Our priority is to help you understand what’s going on with your body, explain your options clearly, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your lifestyle and goals.
When to Book a Gynecological Exam
You should schedule a gynecological exam if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Irregular, heavy, or missed periods
- Unusual vaginal discharge or odor
- Pain during intercourse
- Frequent urinary tract infections or urinary leakage
- Spotting between periods or after intercourse
- Difficulty getting pregnant or suspected hormonal imbalance
- A family history of gynecological conditions
Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, regular exams are essential for monitoring your health and catching issues early, especially if you have known risk factors or a history of gynecological problems.
Your Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a routine check-up and a gynecological exam?
Routine check-ups are preventive visits typically performed annually to screen for general reproductive health issues, including Pap smears and breast exams. Gynecological exams, on the other hand, are more comprehensive assessments done when a patient presents with symptoms or is being monitored for a known condition.
These visits may include imaging, lab work, or more targeted diagnostic testing. If you’re experiencing symptoms like pain, bleeding, or irregular cycles, a gynecological exam is likely more appropriate.
Will the exam be uncomfortable or painful?
We strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Some parts of the exam such as a pelvic exam or Pap smear may cause brief pressure or mild discomfort, but they should not be painful.
Our providers take the time to explain each step and answer any questions to help you feel at ease. If you’re nervous or it’s your first time, let us know we'll walk you through the process with extra care and compassion.
Do I need a referral to book a gynecological assessment?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to book a gynecological exam at Cure MD. If your visit is covered by Alberta Health, we’ll ensure proper documentation and provide any needed forms for follow-up or specialist referrals.
For complex conditions or advanced testing, we may collaborate with gynecologists or imaging centers, but we handle most assessments and care plans in-clinic. Our team is here to simplify the process and provide comprehensive care under one roof.
What if I’m diagnosed with a chronic condition like endometriosis or PCOS?
A diagnosis is the first step toward better health and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. If you are diagnosed with a condition like endometriosis or PCOS, we will create a long-term treatment and management plan tailored to your needs.
This may include medication, lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, or referral to a specialist for further evaluation. Our goal is to improve your quality of life, reduce symptoms, and empower you to take control of your health.
Can I get treatment for infections like UTIs or STIs during the same visit?
Yes, if testing confirms a UTI or STI, we can begin treatment promptly, often on the same day. For UTIs, this may include a prescription for antibiotics. For STIs, treatment will depend on the type of infection and your overall health.
Our team also provides education and partner testing if needed, in a private, non-judgmental environment. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure a full recovery.
Is gynecological care covered by Alberta Health?
Yes, most gynecological services including consultations, pelvic exams, and diagnostics for medical symptoms are covered by Alberta Health. We will inform you of any out-of-pocket costs if a service is not covered or if you request optional testing.
Our front desk team can assist with direct billing and answer questions about your coverage. Our goal is to make your care experience as accessible and stress-free as possible.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Cure MD offers flexible scheduling and short wait times for gynecological assessments. We understand that some symptoms or concerns require timely care, and we do our best to accommodate urgent needs whenever possible.
You can call our front desk or use our online booking system to schedule a visit that fits your schedule. If you're unsure which type of visit you need, our team is happy to guide you.
Can I combine this visit with a discussion about birth control or family planning?
Absolutely. Our gynecological visits are designed to address all aspects of your reproductive health. Whether you're considering birth control, planning for pregnancy, or thinking about your fertility long-term, your provider can offer guidance, options, and next steps during the same visit.
We take a whole-person approach, ensuring that your care is comprehensive, connected, and aligned with your life goals.
