The HPV vaccine offers strong protection against the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection and can lead to several types of cancer, including some gynecologic cancers. When used with routine Pap tests and pelvic exams, the vaccine has helped reduce the number of cervical cancer cases — the most common gynecologic cancer. Our specialists can help you decide if the vaccine is right for you.

A pelvic exam is a routine physical examination of a person's external and internal female reproductive organs, which includes the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and ovaries. It is used to check for infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), cancer or causes of pain and abnormal bleeding. The exam is usually quick, taking about 10 minutes.
