Visiting the gynecologist: 15 reasons to go always

We all know that being healthy is a very important thing for our life. However, when it comes to visiting a doctor, many people don't do it as often as necessary. This it not good, because visiting a doctor is very important.

Visit is necessary for Prevention and early detection:

In the annual screening and early diagnosis , the outer and inner genitalia (outer pubic area, uterus, ovaries / fallopian tubes and bladder) and the female breast are examined. For the early detection of pathological changes eg. on the cervix can prevent the development of cervical cancer. The diagnosis of breast cancer at an early stage has in most cases greater chances of recovery than at an advanced stage.

But it's also about benign diseases:

Often, the hormone status of the woman is reflected in her genitalia. Benign tumors, congenital anomalies and infections can cause long-lasting discomfort or affect fertility in women. Accordingly, they can and should be treated early. For example, women under the age of 25 are screened for chlamydia, a relatively common bacterial that is easily treated with antibiotics.

Itching

Vaginal itching (pruritus) and / or discharge are the result of infectious or noninfectious inflammation of the vaginal mucosa ( vaginitis ), which is often accompanied by vulvar inflammation (vulvovaginitis). Irritation, burning, redness as well as occasionally dysuria and dyspareunia may also show up. The symptoms of vaginitis are among the most common gynecological complaints.

The detection of the pregnancy hormone in the blood succeeds about 3-4 days before and is particularly important for distinguishing between normal and abnormal pregnancy progress, such as in an ectopic pregnancy, important.

Post Pregnancy (After care)

The regular visit to the gynecologist 6-8 weeks after birth serves to check the regression of the uterus, the healing of possible birth defects and the milk production of the breasts.
