What tests are needed to check gynecological diseases

Gynecological examinations mostly expose private parts. In our country, people's concept is still relatively traditional, and most people are quite resistant to it. However, they have to do relevant examinations due to medical reasons.

In fact, regular gynecological examinations are indeed very necessary. Research data organized by the World Health Organization shows that 1/3 of cancers can be prevented, 1/3 of cancers can be cured if discovered in the early stages, and 1/3 of cancers can relieve pain and prolong life to a certain extent, such as cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine fibroids and other diseases. Regular gynecological examinations can be said to be the "evil force" of women.

What does a gynecological examination include?

1. Routine gynecological examination. It includes examination of private parts, vagina, cervix, uterus size, shape, location, pelvic condition, uterus and ovarian condition, etc.

2. Fallopian tube examination. Within 3 to 5 days after the menstrual period ends, the fallopian tube permeability test should be carried out. If it is blocked, it needs to be treated in time to ensure smoothness.

3. Routine examination of leucorrhea. Vaginal examination: cleanliness, fungus, trichomonas, bacterial infection of vaginal diseases, etc.

4. Check growth hormone status. Blood tests are done on the 2nd to 5th day of the menstrual period to check the status of growth hormones such as estrogen, estrogen, androgen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and human chorionic gonadotropin.

5. Transvaginal B-ultrasound examination. It can be used for the early detection and diagnosis of uterine wall diseases, cervical diseases, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine and ovarian tumors and other diseases, and can monitor the growth and development of the embryo in early pregnancy.

6. Cervical smear test and HPV test. A simple and effective method for screening cervical cancer.

7. Breast examination. Breast B-ultrasound, breast mammography, etc. can diagnose diseases relatively conveniently and efficiently.

8. Colposcopy. Colposcopy cannot diagnose whether or not there is cancer, but it can perform a puncture biopsy under colposcopy, and combined with the biopsy results, it can accurately identify and diagnose cervical cancer symptoms (the diagnosis rate of early cervical cancer is as high as 98%).

The above examinations are common gynecological examinations. There are also other slightly more special examinations that are often used in gynecology, such as hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, etc.
