How often should you have a gynecological examination?

Nowadays, more and more women suffer from gynecological diseases. The main reason is that they do not pay attention to regular physical examinations. In some other countries, women will take the initiative to do gynecological examinations regardless of whether they have any physical problems or not. In China, very few women can go for gynecological examinations regularly. Many people think it is unnecessary. It is too late until something really happens.

In my country, more than 200,000 women lose their precious lives due to gynecological diseases every year, especially married women, accounting for 70%. This data also shows that gynecological diseases are more harmful to women. There are many common gynecological diseases among us. Although they are not fatal, they still have a great impact on the human body, such as various types of vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, uterine fibroids, uterine and ovarian fibroids, etc.

Some gynecological diseases may not have obvious abnormal symptoms in the early stages, so they are easy to go undetected, leading to the development of more serious symptoms. If they are regularly maintained, they can be detected and treated as early as possible, which can also prevent the disease from worsening. Therefore, regular gynecological examinations are very important.

How often should women have a gynecological examination?

A basic gynecological examination for women generally includes examination of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and some appendages, breast, gynecological B-ultrasound, etc. The time for regular maintenance of women is different for different women. If you feel unwell in your body, go for a check-up immediately. If it is a normal and basic woman who has sexual life, it is recommended to check once a year. If it is repeated for more than two times and there is no health problem, you can relax to once every two or three years. If there is anything unusual, it will be discussed separately. For example, in the early stages of pregnancy, regular physical examinations are needed to maintain the body regularly according to different conditions.

What preparations should be made before a gynecological examination?

Comfortable clothing

When examining, you must pay attention to the choice of clothes. Don't wear something complicated and inconvenient, which will easily cause inconvenience during the examination. Choose some clothes that are easy to take off, so that it will be more convenient for the doctor to examine during the examination and it will not waste too much time.

No sexual intercourse between husband and wife

Do not have sexual intercourse within three days before the gynecological examination, otherwise some semen will enter the body and affect some test results, which is not conducive to the accuracy of the data. In addition, you should pay attention to your sleep, get more rest, and don't stay up late. Before the examination, urinate completely. Because blood tests will be required, you should also pay attention not to eat anything before the blood test, especially spicy food; irritating food will affect the test results.

No need to apply medicine to private parts

In order to pass the test, some ladies may pay great attention to cleaning their private parts the day before. This will have a great impact on the test data. Also, please note that you should not use any medicines, any medicines for treating vaginal infections, or some lubricants the night before, as these will affect the test samples and may cover up some abnormal cells, affecting the test results, so you must pay attention.
