A complete GYN exam (or “a pelvic”) is an easy exam that can find infections and check for disease. It is also the only way to detect cancer of the cervix, which, if found early, is curable almost 100% of the time. Your GYN exam includes:

Complete medical history
Blood pressure and weight check
Thyroid check
Pap test

Emergency contraception pills (EC) can reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours after unprotected vaginal intercourse. They work best when taken within 72 hours - during this time they can reduce the risk of pregnancy from 75 to 89 percent.  More EC information.
