HOW DOES A GYNECOLOGIST'S CONSULTATION TAKE PLACE?

An initial appointment with a gynecologist is not much different from an appointment with a regular gynecologist. The doctor:

finds out the purpose of the patient's visit, clarifies her complaints;

examines the external genitalia, cervix;

conducts a bimanual examination of the internal genitalia;

examines and palpates the mammary glands.

Based on the results of the initial examination and the nature of the patient's complaints, as well as on her age and concomitant diseases, the gynecologist decides on the need for additional diagnostic procedures. This may be

colposcopy - used to examine the cervix for erosions, tumors, microhemorrhages;

Ultrasound of the pelvic organs, which is used to diagnose obstruction of the fallopian tubes, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, cysts, tumors, uterine fibroids, polyps and many other gynecological pathologies;

cytological examination - a smear from the cervix, which allows for the early detection of inflammation, viral infection, sexually transmitted infections, cervical cancer and other pathologies;

Ultrasound of the thyroid gland to determine the size and structure of this organ, which may indicate excessive or insufficient hormone production.

The doctor may also refer the patient to the following tests:

analysis to determine the level of glucose in the blood to diagnose diabetes;

blood test for thyroid hormones;

blood test for other hormones

If such a need arises, the gynecologist refers the patient for consultations with other specialists.
