Do I need a full-body check-up when seeing a gynecologist?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old this year. I haven't paid much attention to gynecological diseases because I have relatively few of them. However, recently I realized that my menstrual period hasn't come for a long time, and I haven't had sexual intercourse either. I decided to see a doctor, but I don't know what to do. Do I need a full-body check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is speculated that a full-body examination is not necessary. You should go to the gynecology outpatient department for a follow-up visit. Generally, a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages is performed. Before the ultrasound examination, make sure to hold your urine sufficiently to ensure clear and accurate results. If your menstrual cycle is affected by changes in mood or environment, your condition is not serious, and there is no need to be overly anxious. Engage in outdoor activities actively on a regular basis.
