S3 Ep131: Why You Need to Keep Seeing a Gyne with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany

More likely than not, if you are over 65, your internist has declared everything between your belly button and your thighs to be the “NO NEED” zone. “NO NEED”  for a pap, “NO NEED”  need for a speculum, “NO NEED”  to remove your underpants, and definitely “NO NEED”  to see a gynecologist unless you have a specific problem. But in today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany to explain the flaw in this reasoning and why “no complaint” is not the same as “No problem”.



We discuss specific issues that are addressed post menopause:
