Check Up by a Gynecologist at the Medical Center Medhelsi

Consultation with a gynecologist is necessary not only for those women who have discovered symptoms of the disease. It is recommended to visit a specialist at least once a year as a preventive measure.

Symptoms that require an examination by a gynecologist:

• Lower abdominal pain.
• Discharge from the genitals.
• Bloody discharge in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
• Violation of the menstrual cycle.
• Itching and burning of the genitals.
• Discomfort during intercourse.

Indications for a visit to the doctor are also:

• Planning for pregnancy.
• Menopause.
• Beginning of sexual activity.
• Primary gynecological appointment.

At the initial appointment, the doctor will listen to your complaints and conduct a thorough examination. If your disease needs urgent treatment, already at the first consultation, the gynecologist will prescribe medications that will reduce the symptoms and make you feel better.
To clarify the diagnosis, additional studies may be prescribed:

• Collection of biological material for flora.
• For the diagnosis of infections.
• Colposcopy.
• Ultrasound - transvaginal or transabdominal.
• Pap test (screening smear of the cervix).

Of the blood tests, the following can be prescribed: an analysis for hormones, an enzyme immunoassay.

Colposcopy in gynecology is a modern method of examining the vagina and cervix under a microscope and with additional lighting. The procedure is akin to a classic gynecological examination on a chair, but thanks to colposcopy, the gynecologist can examine the organs in more detail and even the slightest changes in them that are difficult to see with the human eye. Colposcopy is indicated for all women, whether they are worried or not. Doctors recommend undergoing this examination 1-2 times a year during a scheduled visit to the gynecologist.
