When I should not miss Gynecologist Consultation

 If you have pelvic pain

If you have abdominal pain or pelvic pain that lasts for more than 2 weeks, you should think about seeing your gynecologist. This may be a sign of a serious condition, like ovarian cancer. Your gynecologist can work with other doctors to help make sure that you get the care you need.

If you have irregular periods

Women should not miss a gynecologist consultation if their menstrual bleeding is heavier than usual, or if they have irregular periods.

A woman is at increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects if she misses a gynecologist appointment. If you are pregnant, call your doctor or health center as soon as possible if you have:

• Heavy bleeding during menstruation that lasts for more than seven days

• 
  

• Severe abdominal pain or cramps

• 
  

• Severe swelling in your lower body (legs, ankles) or abdomen

• 
  

• If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately.

Any Changes in Breast

When you have breast changes, such as a lump or nipple discharge, you should not miss Gynecologist Consultation.

The doctor will check for any other abnormalities in the reproductive system and other parts of the body. This helps to find out about any other problems that may be causing your problem.

• You should get a gynecologist consultation if you have a history of sexually transmitted infections or diseases.

• In addition, if you are pregnant, you need to see a gynecologist for routine prenatal care.

A visit to the doctor is not only for prevention but also for early detection of any problems that can be treated early on.

The doctor will do an examination and check your health. He will also refer you to other doctors if needed.

Cervical cancer

Cervical dysplasia is a precancerous condition that can lead to cervical cancer. Cervical dysplasia is a normal part of the cell renewal process. It may occur in women who have not been sexually active or exposed to HPV, the virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer. However, if you have had intercourse with more than one partner and/or had multiple sexual partners, it may be time for a gynecologist consultation.

The National Cancer Institute recommends that all women age 21 and older undergo a Pap test every three years. While this is a good precautionary measure, it doesn't address certain risk factors that contribute to developing cervical cancer or precancerous changes in the cervix. If you have been diagnosed with cervical dysplasia or are concerned about your personal health, schedule an appointment with your gynecologist today.
