Why are regular gynaecological examinations important?

Gynecological examinations are essential for preventing and detecting various health problems affecting a woman's health. Whether it's a routine check-up of genital health, prevention of serious diseases, or a reproductive health consultation, gynaecological exams play a key role in overall body and mental well-being.

Early detection of health problems

Regular visits to the gynaecologist allow you to monitor changes in your body and detect health problems early. Cervical cancer is one example where prevention is key - a gynaecological examination and cytology test can detect abnormal cells before they become cancer. This also applies to other gynaecological diseases such as cysts, fibroids or infections.

Mental health support

A gynaecologist can be a health professional and a confidant with whom a woman can share her concerns about her body and reproductive health. Some problems, such as menstrual disorders, pain with intercourse, or difficulty getting pregnant, can be emotionally challenging. A good gynaecologist should provide you with not only treatment but also support.

Regular breast check

A gynaecological examination often includes a breast examination, which can help detect changes such as lumps or breast tenderness early. Especially at the first check-up, the gynaecologist should also instruct women on how to perform breast self-examination at home.

Regular gynaecological examinations help detect potential health problems early, allow better control over one's body, and provide professional support at all stages of life. Visiting a gynaecologist should be a regular part of every woman's health care.
