When do I start my pap smear?

Age 21. However if you have been sexually active you need to have an exam to check for infections.

What should I do if I forgot to take a pill?

In general, you can "make up" the pill you missed the next day along with the pill you are supposed to take. However if you missed 2 days in a row, you will need to take extra pills for 2 days in a row. But your period may start. If you miss more than 2 days, take extra precautions because you may be at risk for pregnancy.

I skip periods. Do I need to be checked?

Yes. You may have a hormonal imbalance that can be diagnosed and properly treated.

Are there any vitamins or supplements I should take?

Yes. In general, our diets are not adequate enough to provide prevention against common issues such as anemia (from bleeding each month even if a woman is on the pill) which affect 50% of women in the world. This can be prevented easily by taking Prenatal Vitamins from age 13 (when menses start) to age 55(menopause is over). There are several brands but taking a Gluten Free and easily available ones are the best.

I have very heavy bleeding. Should I be concerned?

Yes. Some girls and women need blood transfusions from bleeding too much and too fast. Properly diagnosed and treatment is the key.

I have moodiness and personality changes before my periods. Is there something I can do?

Yes. You may be suffering from Premenstrual Tension Syndrome or "PMS" and it is common. There are available treatments to improve it.

How often should I get my pap smears?

We recommend pap smears start at age 21 unless there are special circumstances. It can be repeated every 2 to 3 years if normal. However, the annual examination is strongly urged.
