Genitourinary Physical Exam

To prepare for a genitourinary exam, it's a good idea to wear comfortable clothing and be ready to discuss any relevant medical history or symptoms with the healthcare provider. Follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional, and remember. However, the exam and questions can seem a little invasive; your healthcare provider is only looking to ensure you are healthy, so giving the most accurate answers you can is critical.

Genitourinary exams may be needed for routine checkups in response to specific symptoms or concerns (such as pain, discomfort, or abnormal discharge) as part of preventive healthcare measures such as screening programs or fertility assessments.

Genitourinary exams are typically performed by healthcare professionals specializing in urology or gynecology. Urologists often conduct these exams for males, while females may undergo genitourinary exams performed by gynecologists or other healthcare providers with expertise in women's health.
