What is the best time for gynecological B-ultrasound?

With the continuous improvement of living standards and people's awareness of self-care, annual gynecological examinations have increasingly become a conscious behavior for female friends to cherish life and treat themselves well. Generally speaking, if a woman is menstruating, she should not see a gynecologist. Gynecological diseases usually require a vaginal examination, and when women are menstruating, their systemic and local resistance is relatively low. So, let's take a look at the specific time for women to do B-ultrasound and what to pay attention to.

So when is the best time for women to have a gynecological examination?

According to experts, generally speaking, if a woman is menstruating, she should not see a gynecologist. Gynecological diseases usually require a vaginal examination. When women are menstruating, their systemic and local resistance is relatively low. In addition, the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium form wounds, which make it easy for microorganisms to invade, grow, and reproduce.

In addition, during gynecological examinations, shed endometrial fragments may be squeezed into the uterine muscle wall, fallopian tubes, and even the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis.

Bleeding during sexual intercourse, bleeding from cervical erosion and postmenopausal bleeding should be checked during the vaginal bleeding period, which makes it easier to determine the source of the bleeding.

To check whether you are pregnant, you should go for the check-up around 50 days after your menstruation stops. Pregnancy tests at this time are usually positive, and gynecological examination shows that the uterus is obviously enlarged.

Checking the patency of the fallopian tubes, inserting or removing the IUD, treating the cervix, hysteroscopy, and hysterography should all be done 3 to 7 days after the end of the menstruation, and sexual intercourse is prohibited from after the menstruation to before the examination to prevent infection.

Diagnostic curettage is generally required to be performed near the menstrual period or on the first day of menstruation. Because at this time, endometrial specimens can be obtained for pathological examination. Curettage at the beginning of menstruation can also rule out the possibility of pregnancy and is suitable for women with menstrual cycle disorders and infertility.

Content selection is key

The medical testing that each woman needs is different, based on differences in age, genetics, medical history, and lifestyle. Routine gynecological examination generally includes four parts: gynecology, pathology, breast ultrasound and gynecological ultrasound.

1. Gynecology, that is, gynecological specialist physical examination, also known as pelvic examination. Its contents include: vulva examination, vaginal examination, cervical examination, uterus and adnexal examination. Generally, for female friends of all ages over the age of 20, this item should be a mandatory item in the annual routine check-up;

2. Pathology, that is, pathological examination of cervical smear, is also the most widely promoted and most effective method for early screening of cervical cancer. Because cervical precancerous lesions do not have obvious symptoms, or their symptoms are similar to those of chronic cervicitis, they are often difficult to distinguish from general cervical erosion.

Even if the problem is discovered, it is likely to be treated as a common cervical disease. By the time symptoms appear, it has most likely turned into cancer. Therefore, pathological examination is very necessary and very important.

The traditional cervical smear test is that the doctor scrapes some exfoliated cells from the cervix, then smears them on a medical glass slide to make a smear, which is then sent to the laboratory for analysis. However, such an examination has a disadvantage. Due to cell loss during the smear process, artificial smear unevenness, cell overlapping, and interference from cervical mucus and blood, it often affects the pathologist's identification and screening of abnormal cells, resulting in reading errors.

Currently, there is a liquid-based ultra-thin cell test, also known as the New Prep TCT smear. This test uses "cell preservation fluid" to program the cells that enter the preservation fluid, and randomly samples them to make uniform and clear thin layer smears, which is more conducive to differential diagnosis of the disease and increases the detection rate of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions by 70%-80%.

3. Breast B-ultrasound: mainly used to examine breast diseases. Breast disease is one of the most common diseases among women. Its incidence rate is increasing year by year and has ranked first among female malignant tumors.

Such a high incidence rate should arouse great concern among women. Therefore, regular breast B-ultrasound becomes the most important means to prevent breast cancer for early detection, correct diagnosis and effective treatment. Breast B-ultrasound is an economical, simple, non-invasive and painless examination method that is suitable for women of all ages.

There is also a breast molybdenum palladium examination, which is a low-dose breast X-ray technology based on the principle of X-rays. Its results are high-resolution and better than B-ultrasound. It has been widely recognized by the medical community as the most effective and reliable examination method for early diagnosis of breast cancer. However, this type of examination radiation can cause certain damage to the human body. For women over 40 years old, experts recommend doing it no more than twice a year.

4. Gynecological B-ultrasound mainly focuses on the cervix, uterus and adnexa. It is a more in-depth examination than routine gynecological examinations and is also an essential part of routine gynecological examinations.

In addition, for some special groups, such as women who are planning to get married, experts recommend that it is best to have a premarital physical examination. For women of childbearing age, if you plan to have children, it is best to also have a pre-pregnancy physical examination, which will help with eugenics. Some female friends who love to keep pets can choose a virus test to effectively prevent viral infections caused by frequent unhygienic contact with pets.
