Premarital Gynecologic Examination

Abstract

Young persons who consult physicians for premarital examination and counsel should leave our offices with a healthy knowledge of their anatomy, a feeling of adequacy and self-confidence, and a wholesome approach to marriage and parenthood. The wise couple seeks guidance and information from a professional counselor or physician and avoids discussing intimate features of family life with anyone else. The young woman who gains confidence in her physician through the premarital examination will return after marriage for the follow-up and prenatal care so essential to her gynecologic health.
