Gynaecological Check-Ups And Screening

Gynaecological check-ups and screening are important parts of women's health care. They can help identify problems early and provide treatment before they become serious. Gynaecological check-ups or visits are typically done annually, and may include a physical exam, Pap test and/or pelvic exam, and laboratory tests. During a physical exam, the doctor will check your blood pressure, heart rate, and discuss any health concerns you may have. Depending on your age and other risk factors, they may also check your weight, height, and abdomen. A Pap test is a screening tool used to look for changes in the cells of the cervix. The cells are collected and sent to a laboratory for further evaluation. Depending on the results, the doctor may recommend additional tests or treatments. A pelvic exam is usually done during a gynaecological check-up. During a pelvic exam, the doctor will check the size, shape, and position of your uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. They will also look for any signs of infection or disease. Gynaecological screening tests may also be done during a check-up, depending on your age and other risk factors. These tests may include mammograms, ultrasounds, or other imaging tests. These tests can help detect cancer or other diseases early, when they are more easily treated. It is important to keep up with regular gynaecological check-ups and screening tests. Doing so can help keep you healthy and identify any potential problems early.
