Woman checking body contents

I am almost 30 years old now. I have been studying and just graduated last year. I don't pay much attention to girls' problems every day. Recently, I feel uncomfortable with my body. My friend suggested that I go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. However, I don't know what I must check as a woman. So, I want to consult, who can tell me?

Hello! Like your friend, I also suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. The specific check-ups are as follows:

Step 1: Check the vulva:

Normal vulva, pubic hair with tips pointing downwards and distributed in a triangular shape, labia majora are pigmented, labia minora are slightly red, there are no ulcers, dermatitis, growths or hypopigmentation in the perineum, the clitoris length is <2.5cm, the mucosa around the urethral opening is light pink and has no growths. Married women have old cracks in their hymen, and pregnant women have old cracks in their hymen and perineum, or there may be incision scars in the perineum. If necessary, the doctor will ask the patient to hold his breath and look for bulging of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls, uterine prolapse, or urinary incontinence. If there are any lesions, doctors will often describe them as "married type" or "given birth type", and any abnormalities will be recorded in detail.

Step 2: Vaginal examination:

The vaginal wall mucosa is light pink in color and has wrinkles, without ulcers, growths, cysts, vaginal septum, double vagina or other congenital malformations. Normal vaginal discharge is egg white-like or white paste, has no fishy smell, and is in small amounts, but increases during ovulation and pregnancy. If there are any abnormalities, the patient will have corresponding clinical symptoms, namely local itching, burning sensation, etc. The doctor will record them in detail and conduct tests.

Step 3: Cervical examination:

A normal cervix has bulges around the periphery and a hole in the middle. The shape of the navel for non-pregnant women is round, while that for pregnant women is "I"-shaped, tough, flesh-red, and has a smooth surface. If the examination is normal, it means that it is light, of medium quality, without itching or pain, etc. If abnormalities are found, the degree of erosion (mild, moderate, or none), the degree of cervical hypertrophy, and the size and location of the growth will be described in detail.

Step 4: Examination of the uterus and appendages:

The normal uterus is inverted pear-shaped, 7 to 8 cm long, 4 to 5 cm wide, and 2 to 3 cm thick. Most are in an anteversion and anteflexion position, with a medium hardness and good mobility. The ovaries and fallopian tubes are collectively called the "appendages." A normal ovary can occasionally expand to a size of 3×2×1cm3, is movable, and feels slightly sore and swollen when touched. Normal fallopian tubes cannot be palpated. If it is a "median" or "posterior" uterus and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, it is not a big deal.

These are the things that a woman must check. At the same time, I want to tell you that you must take good care of your body in the future. You still need to learn a little about women's physiology. It must be said that you should pay attention to your menstruation in normal times, and if it is abnormal, you must adjust it. In addition, you must take care of your breasts. Now many people get breast cancer without paying attention to it. In other aspects, you must pay attention to exercise in normal times, only in this way can you stay healthy.
