Abstract

Regular gynecologic evaluation in older women is an integral part of medical care, just as it is for women of reproductive age. This should be emphasized since older women often neglect early symptoms of gynecologic diseases, some of which are potentially lethal. With this in mind, the health care provider must be cognizant of not only gynecologic problems that affect all women, but also those disease processes which are either specific to or more prevalent in an older population. This article emphasizes these aspects in caring for the older gynecologic patient.
