Symptoms of gynecological diseases

The symptoms of gynecological diseases are usually not so prominent before they occur, and most patients will not feel much discomfort in their bodies. However, when the disease becomes more serious, they will feel that the symptoms of lower abdominal pain become more severe, and even more obvious clinical manifestations will occur during sexual intercourse. Therefore, gynecological diseases must be treated in the early stages.

The early symptoms of gynecological diseases are not obvious, and patients usually do not feel obvious discomfort. They are usually discovered during a gynecological examination. If the symptoms are severe, there may be increased vaginal discharge, which may be bloody or purulent and accompanied by a foul odor. Leucorrhea irritates the vulva and causes vulvar itching. In severe cases, there may be lower abdominal distension and pain, which worsens after sexual intercourse. Some patients may also experience uncomfortable symptoms such as frequent urination.
