When should I see a gynecologist?
- Every woman should be examined by a gynecologist at least once every six months in the absence of health complaints. Scheduled examinations help prevent the development of various diseases in time. Consultation of the gynecologist is necessary for menstrual irregularities, for examination and planning of pregnancy, during pregnancy and for individual selection of contraception methods. It is best to visit the gynecologist during the first couple of days after the end of the menstrual cycle. Unscheduled visits to the gynecologist should be made if you notice:
- itching in the genital area;
- greenish-yellow discharge;
- pain in the breasts;
- discomfort during sexual intercourse;
- painful menstruation;
- pain in the lower abdomen.
Unscheduled examinations can be performed even during your period, but there must be a good reason for this – a sharp pain in the lower abdomen, which is of a prolonged nature or bleeding.
Stages of a gynecological examination
- Anamnesis collection. First, the gynecologist interviews the patient, inquires about past diseases, finds out the peculiarities of the cycle, and analyzes the patient’s complaints, if any.
- Taking smears for analysis. If the presence of an inflammatory process and the presence of hidden diseases is detected, the doctor takes smears with a gynecological spatula. This procedure does not cause discomfort and takes only a couple of minutes. The analysis of microflora allows you to determine the level of health of the environment in the vagina and identify possible diseases.
- Examination using a mirror in a gynecological chair. The gynecologist examines the condition of the cervix, mucous membranes. This procedure is absolutely painless.
- Gynecological examination. Palpation allows you to determine the size, shape and mobility of the fallopian tubes, ovaries and uterus.
- PAP-test (cervical pathology screening) – performed annually.
- Cervical colposcopy (detects cervical abnormalities at early stages). It helps identify: condylomas, endometriosis, tumor changes, etc.
- Palpation of the breasts. This stage helps to rule out the development of tumors and other pathologies.
