Continuing and summer session students can receive limited medical services at the Student Health Service for a nominal fee during the summer. Women's services are also limited during this time due to staffing.
| REMINDER:
Schedule your visit for birth control pill refills before you run out of pills. Gynecological examinations should be done when not menstruating. Schedule your exam well before the expected time of menses. If you have symptoms of vaginitis or think you might have a STD, schedule an exam to be checked for infections before scheduling your annual Pap smear. The results of a Pap smear may be affected by having an infection at the same time. Schedule the Pap smear after the infection has been treated.
|
| For 48 hours before the examination DO NOT: |
| Douche |
| Have sexual intercourse |
| Use vaginal medications, creams, jellies, foams, |
| suppositories or tampons |
If you have further questions call Carolyn Krone, RN-CS, ANP, Adult Nurse Practitioner at (661) 654-3303 or email ckrone@csub.edu.
