An annual gynecological examination is necessary for every woman and is considered generally accepted in the practice of international medicine. But quite often, some of them, especially at the age of 50-60, do not consider it necessary to appear at the appointment with a gynecologist. But it is precisely such an age that is considered the most dangerous in terms of the development of any pathological diseases that previously might not have manifested.
The same can be said of women who have given birth, who do not consider it obligatory to visit a gynecologist annually. Not to mention the young girls who do not know when to see a specialist for the first time. It is this neglect that provokes the development of complex gynecological diseases, which could be prevented at an early stage and the treatment should be started in time.
Examination on a gynecological chair can prevent many diseases that a woman could not even think about. By visiting a gynecologic doctor at the right time, everyone can avoid troubles in terms of women's health, which can appear much later in a more serious form.
What makes you ignore a gynecological examination?
Shyness, lack of time, lack of symptoms of a disease and others. It is these reasons that most often become an obstacle to visiting a gynecologist at the right time.
Do you know that quite a few gynecological diseases are asymptomatic, which can only be determined by passing the necessary tests or a thorough examination? A gynecologist can immediately see the presence of a particular infection or tumor. If the examination is not enough, then the doctor will take the necessary tests.
The first gynecological examination in a girl should be immediately after the onset of sexual activity. According to statistics, about 50% of women under 24 years of age who have an active sex life have never visited a gynecologist. The same applies to older women under 30 years of age. It is at this age that the consultation of a gynecologist is very important not only for the detection of any diseases, but also for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases.
Especially important at a time when a woman has an active sex life is the prevention of diseases that can lead to infertility. This is especially true for young girls who must undergo the full consultation of an experienced specialist. In addition, it must be remembered that shyness and fear should not stand in the way of full women's health.
Gynecological osmotra: what is included in it?
Before visiting a doctor, every woman should know what is included in the examination. First of all, the gynecologist examines the cervix and vagina using a special tool with a mirror. This procedure is absolutely painless and does not cause any discomfort. Then, the doctor should palpate the ovaries and uterus through the vagina and abdominal wall. This is done to identify pathologies. After that, a smear from the cervix must be taken for cytology, which is needed to determine the cellular composition of tissues. Thus, malignant degeneration of cells can be determined.
To date, there is an ultrasound examination that helps to make a complete gynecological examination. This method is the introduction of a special elastic tube with a sensor into the vagina, which transmits the necessary information about the structure of the ovaries and cervix to the screen.
In addition, with a gynecological examination, every woman over the age of 45 years must necessarily conduct an x-ray examination of the mammary glands. This procedure is called mammography.
Remember that health is the most important thing, because this is the best beauty that every woman has!
