Gynecological examination
Every woman who takes care of her health needs to visit her gynecologist
at regular intervals, as there are various problems that can be diagnosed early and treated.
The gynecological examination is one of the best ways to prevent and monitor various problems and the Gynecologist - Obstetrician of the Facemed Clinic, Dr. Tzonis Panagiotis, through experience and two-way communication with patients, is able to improve the health of women who choose us.
What does it include
The steps included in the Gynecological examination are:
Medical history
Based on the medical history, the gynecologist can assess if there are any diseases or symptoms from the genital system, which should be investigated.
Gynecological examination (Clinical examination)
Initially, a visual examination (review) of the external genitalia is performed to detect lesions or symptoms, such as warts, anatomical abnormalities, skin infections, etc.
The doctor then carefully inserts a special tool into the vagina called a vaginal dilator, so that he can visually examine the vaginal wall and cervix.
For the diagnosis of any problems of the internal genitals as well as the ovaries, the doctor uses palpation.
Test pap Smear
The Pap test is considered one of the most basic screening tests for women and has saved the lives of millions of women around the world.
It is a cytological examination, for the detection of lesions in the morphology of cells in the area and can lead to the diagnosis of various problems such as HPV infection, precancerous or cancerous lesions of the cervix, etc.
The gynecologist takes a sample of cells from the vagina and cervix and sends it to a cytology laboratory for testing.
Ultrasound
The ultrasound gives the gynecologist the opportunity to have a complete visual imaging of the internal genitals.
Thus, he is able to ascertain the diagnosis made previously during the gynecological examination.
Also, the doctor can see if there is a problem in the uterus (such as fibroids, polyps, etc.) or in the ovaries (such as cysts).
Breast examination
The palpation of the breasts by the gynecologist is a necessary stage of the gynecological examination, as it makes it possible to detect any lumps or cysts.
If necessary, the doctor may ask the patient to have a mammogram or breast ultrasound, or in more dangerous cases, an MRI scan.
Breast examination is becoming more and more important for a woman's health, since it is now known that if breast cancer is diagnosed in its early stages, it is treatable.
In conclusion, breast palpation, like the Pap test, is a preventive examination that saves lives!
Discussion and Prescription
The gynecologist discusses with the patient about the diagnosis and suggests the available and best treatment methods for each case. Also, he answers any questions that may arise and prescribes the medication to be followed and issues referrals for further tests that may need to be done.
