Patient's question:
What specific items are included in a gynecological examination? How much does it cost??My leukorrhea is yellow-green, and I have vaginal itching. My menstrual cycle is irregular. First follow-up question: I just had an ultrasound examination at the end of October, and the results were normal. Do I still need to do it??
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description, it is likely vaginitis. It is best to start with a vaginal discharge test, and ultrasound can be temporarily skipped. Menstrual irregularities should be noted:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during menstruation, which are all normal and do not require excessive concern.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. Keep the external genital area clean. Intercourse is absolutely forbidden during menstruation. Pay attention to warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and breathability. Wash and change underwear frequently, and ensure they are dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other stimulating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Those with blood heat should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation and avoid stimulating foods like garlic, onions, leeks, and ginger. Those with qi and blood deficiency should increase their nutrition regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
