We can’t wait to become partners in your health journey as you navigate exciting transitions.
Does a Gynecological Exam Hurt?
Patients of all ages may be reluctant to schedule a women’s gynecology appointment because they are afraid of pain or discomfort. The truth is that, while some parts of your annual exam may be a little uncomfortable, the majority of your gynecology exam should be painless. In fact, every single exam begins with a conversation.
We realize, however, that some patients may be coming to us with negative past experiences. You may be nervous for a number of reasons, and we’re here to support you.
If you feel anxiety before your exam, we encourage you to share this with your provider before you begin. All of your fears are valid, from needle anxiety to past experiences with trauma. We’re happy to go at your speed and ensure you remain in control from start to finish. If you are uncomfortable and need a break, we will always follow your lead.
At VPFW, our providers have many techniques and tips that can help make every visit just a little more comfortable and stress-free. From breathing techniques to smaller speculums, we can tailor your appointment to your comfort level to ensure you can access the care you deserve.
We’re proud to be your partner in women’s health and gynecology in Richmond, VA. Feel free to call us with questions or concerns prior to your appointment. Our team is dedicated to making every patient’s appointment a positive experience.

Bone Density Scans
Since you can’t see or feel bone loss, ongoing monitoring is important. Our Virginia gynecology services include the DEXA test. This diagnostic test measures bone mineral density and indicates if you have osteoporosis or may be at risk for developing it. Whatever your results, our team will be there to help guide you with the next steps for a strong and healthy future.
