How often should I get a pelvic floor exam?

It's really when you start to notice any issues.
If you're having issues with sex, issues in confidence, both blood or bowel prolapse, that's when you want to do a pelvic health physio exam as well as a women's health exam.
I know in the UK we have smear tests regularly every three years. So cervical smear tests to look for cancer and any abnormal cells.
So generally, if you notice any changes, abnormal bleeding, strong, smells funny, kind of discharge. It's important to get checked out. Don't wait for that yearly check. Go and see a medical professional.
