Routine gynecological examination

Routine gynecological examination

Nowadays, more and more women have gynecological diseases, and if they are sick, they need to go to the hospital for examination. In fact, few women have ever received a formal gynecological examination, which is just a simple examination of a certain part of the body. So what aspects does a routine gynecological examination include? Let me introduce it to you today. Please see the content below.

Routine gynecological examinations include: bimanual gynecological examination, electronic colposcopy, gynecological ultrasound examination, vaginal B-ultrasound examination, etc. All women who have had sexual experience should have a gynecological examination once a year. Routine gynecological examinations should be arranged at the appropriate time of the menstrual cycle. Generally, the most appropriate time is within 3-7 days after the end of the current menstruation. To ensure that vaginal secretions do not interfere with the test results. Before the physical examination, you should tell the doctor truthfully about your condition, including past medical history, menstrual history in the past three months, problems during menstruation, previous pregnancies, etc. Due to differences in age, genetics, medical history and lifestyle, each woman needs to have different examinations. General gynecological routine examinations include: gynecological bimanual examination, electronic colposcopy, gynecological ultrasound examination, and vaginal B-ultrasound examination.

This is a must-have item in the physical examination for women of all ages. The contents of this examination include: vulva examination, vaginal examination, cervical examination, uterus and adnexa examination. Pathological examination of cervical smears can detect cervical cancer in a timely manner. Gynecological B-ultrasound examination: It can detect uterine tumors, pelvic inflammatory disease or abscesses in a timely manner. You can choose physical examination items according to your own health condition.

Routine gynecological examinations are divided into gynecological specialist examinations and related auxiliary examinations. A gynecological examination is also called a pelvic examination. Its contents include:

Vulva

Normal vulva, pubic hair with downward-pointing tips and triangular distribution, labia majora pigmentation, labia minora slightly red, no ulcers, dermatitis, growths or hypopigmentation in the perineum, clitoral length <2.5cm, light pink mucosa around the urethral opening, 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.

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.

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.

The above are some contents of routine gynecological examinations. Female friends should pay attention that when we do gynecological examinations, we must follow the formal procedures. The treatment of gynecological diseases is no longer a problem for us. With the development of technology, many hospitals have corresponding equipment. I believe that solving the problem is no longer a difficult task.
