Patient's question:
Female, 58 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my outer genital area and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What are the items included in a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
A gynecological health check includes a pelvic examination and related tests, primarily focusing on inspecting the vagina, external genitalia, uterus, and cervix. Patients should avoid the menstrual period during the examination and refrain from sexual activity the day before. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing during the check and not to be overly anxious. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment approach will differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation at a hospital as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
