Patient's question:
I am over thirty this year and have been feeling that my body has been emitting a bit of an odor lately. Even my husband has mentioned this to me. However, I don't want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up because my work is quite busy. Is there any way to self-examine for gynecological diseases on my own?Doctor's answer:
Some women are paying attention to how to self-examine for gynecological diseases. Here, we recommend common testing methods for gynecological conditions. It is advised that women visit a doctor promptly if they detect any abnormalities during a careful examination and follow up for further check-ups.Self-examination methods:
- Pelvic inflammation: Acute onset is sudden with rapid expansion, high fever, abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, chills, and headaches. Chronic manifestations include general fatigue, poor spirits, especially during menstruation and sexual intercourse.
