What are the methods of self-examination for women?

Self-examination, as the name suggests, is a self-examination of the body. Many times, we always ignore our physical condition. Self-examination is a very simple way, but we are not doctors, so we don’t know how to check and what to check. Especially female friends, we need to have a good understanding of their own physical condition. Let’s learn about the methods of female self-examination below.

1. Observe the monthly bleeding volume. Any changes in the amount of bleeding that accompanies menstruation are generally cause for concern.

2. Observe the leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is a small amount of slightly sticky white secretion. Its thickness and amount will change slightly during the menstrual cycle. If it increases significantly, you need to pay attention to it.

3. Identify the source of pain promptly. If you often feel pain in the lower abdomen, back, or sacrum, or severe dysmenorrhea, you should pay attention. It may be that the pelvic nerves are compressed by the tumor, or various symptoms cause irregular uterine contractions. Severe tumors may compress the cervix and hinder blood flow, which can cause severe dysmenorrhea.

4. Be alert to difficulties in urination and defecation caused by pressure. If lesions such as fibroids occur in the uterus, they may compress your bladder, rectum, ureter and other parts, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, defecation, and back pain.

5. Self-touch. Lie flat on an empty stomach, bend your knees slightly, relax your abdomen, and palpate your lower abdomen, from light to heavy. If there is a larger lump, it can be found.

The above are 5 methods of self-examination for women, all of which are common symptoms that are easily overlooked.

In order to detect the disease in time, you need to conduct regular self-examinations. Self-examination can also play a preventive role, it is free of charge and very practical.
