Women's health is an integral part of a harmonious, happy family, since it is the main factor in having children. To be sure that everything is in order, it is important to have periodic checkups with a gynecologist in Odesa. The doctors at Alt-Med medical center make it possible to preserve reproductive health.
Stages of a gynecological checkup
- Medical history. First, the gynecologist in Odesa asks questions, inquires about past illnesses, clarifies the features of your cycle, and reviews any complaints you may have.
- Speculum examination in the gynecological chair. The gynecologist examines the condition of the cervix and mucous membranes.
- Taking swabs for analysis. To detect an inflammatory process and latent diseases, the doctor takes swabs with a gynecological spatula. This procedure takes just a couple of minutes. Analysis of the microflora makes it possible to assess the health of the vaginal environment and identify possible diseases.
- Gynecological examination. Palpation makes it possible to determine the size, shape, and mobility of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus.
- Pap test (screening for cervical abnormalities), performed annually.
- Colposcopy of the cervix (makes it possible to detect cervical abnormalities at early stages). It helps identify condylomas, endometriosis, tumor changes, and more.
- Breast palpation. This step makes it possible to rule out the development of tumors and other abnormalities.
When should you see a gynecologist in Odesa?
Every woman should have a gynecological checkup at least once every six months, even if she has no health complaints. A routine checkup can help prevent the development of various diseases in time. A consultation with a gynecologist is necessary for menstrual cycle disorders, for preconception preparation (examination and pregnancy planning), during pregnancy, and for individual selection of a contraceptive method. It is preferable to come for your appointment in the first couple of days after your period ends.
You should make an unscheduled visit to a gynecologist if you notice:
- itching in the genital area;
- greenish-yellow discharge;
- breast pain;
- discomfort during intercourse;
- painful periods;
- lower abdominal pain.
An unscheduled examination can be performed even during your period, but there must be a serious reason, such as prolonged sharp pain in the lower abdomen or bleeding.
How to prepare for a visit to the gynecologist
A visit to a gynecologist in Odesa cannot be called a pleasant procedure, but the same is true of a visit to any doctor. Patients tend to feel some discomfort during the visit and have certain psychological barriers. The doctors at Alt-Med medical center try to create the most comfortable conditions they can for their patients. So that the doctor can fully assess the picture of your health, you should prepare properly for the visit:
- empty your bowels and bladder before going to the doctor; this may make palpation easier and reduce discomfort;
- take a shower or bath before the visit (preferably a few hours before) and do not use gels, soap, and the like. Douching is also prohibited. These would make it impossible to get complete, reliable information about the state of the microflora;
- avoid sexual intercourse for 24 hours before your visit to the gynecologist;
- it is recommended to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your visit to the gynecologist;
- if you are taking antibiotics, reschedule your visit or let the gynecologist know.
