Q. What will happen at follow-up visits?
A. First, you will discuss with Dr. Spitzer how you have been feeling since your last visit and how the management plan is working for you. If Dr. Spitzer has not already discussed with you the results of the tests from the last visit, they will be discussed now. Any questions which may have come up since your last visit will be answered as well. Next, an exam will be performed to evaluate your response to the prescribed treatment. Again, this will likely include a colposcopy of the cervix, vagina and or vulva (depending on your problem). If a biopsy is necessary it will be done. Biopsies of the vulva (the skin on the outside) are usually not necessary. Biopsies of the cervix are more common. Smears and cultures of your vaginal discharge will be done if necessary. Finally, we will discuss any necessary changes to your treatment plan, answer any additional questions and arrange for further follow-up if necessary.
