Patient's question:
Due to the slow expansion of our region, we only recently started offering gynecological examinations. Since it was the first detailed check-up, I was unaware of what the gynecological examination involves, what needs to be checked, what preparations are required, or what precautions need to be taken.Doctor's answer:
The gynecological examination mainly includes routine tests for vaginal discharge, examination of the uterine appendages, and blood tests. Basically, gynecological examinations are primarily for screening cervical cancer, in addition to breast cancer. Therefore, many places emphasize enhanced breast examinations and Pap smears. Generally, no preparation is required, but it is important to avoid sexual intercourse for three days before the examination. If sexual intercourse occurs, it can easily affect the examination results.
