Why should you visit a gynecologist once a year?
Believe me, visiting a gynecologist once a year is simply a necessity. This is a rule that needs no discussion. You can say - the law! What girls need to be told at school!
What is this disease?
- Oncopathology of the cervix (and this organ is quite interesting, it does not have pain receptors, so even if there is a pathology, there will be no complaints. A pathology that is well amenable to treatment if detected in time. Therefore, the 1st option for 5-10 years is not suitable! !!
- Pathology of the mammary gland, also a problem that has been simmering for years.
- Pathology - endometrium, ovaries and TD.
The minimally effective examination that every woman needs is:
1. Pap test (oncocytology) - traditional or liquid, it is by mutual agreement.
2. Ultrasound of the pelvic organs.
3. Ultrasound of the mammary glands (if you are 40 or older - mammography!)
Again, depending on the age (from 30 years), co-testing is recommended (in addition to the Pap smear, be tested for HPV of high oncogenic risk (1 year in 5 years, if the result is negative).
Your health is in your hands!
