Why should your mother visit a gynecologist?

We all understand why girls should visit a gynecologist. This specialist will help solve various problems related to women's health — from pregnancy management to the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. However, over time, when women get out of reproductive age, they begin to contact a gynecologist less and less often, mistakenly believing that they no longer need his help. But a gynecologist is not only about reproductive health, he can help in solving many other issues related to the female body. So what questions can your mother ask a gynecologist about?

1. Routine inspection

Over the years, the risk of developing cancers of the reproductive organs (cervix, ovaries, uterus, etc.) increases. Screening examination checks for the presence of both malignant and benign formations (for example, fibroids or ovarian cysts). It is advisable to have a doctor's examination at least once a year in order to identify signs of the disease at an early stage and minimize the risks.

2. Menstrual irregularities

An irregular cycle can be caused by many factors, and therefore is not necessarily a sign of disease. However, only a doctor's consultation will help to make sure that the problem does not require treatment and the cessation of menstruation does not affect health in any way. You may also need to take some tests. Come to us to identify the cause of the cycle disorder and get recommendations in this case.

3. Menopausal syndrome

Unfortunately, many women who have passed the reproductive age may experience both general unpleasant symptoms (from irritability and mood swings to sleep disorders and hot flashes) and local (dryness and burning in the genital area or discomfort when urinating). The menopausal transition is a difficult period that can be overcome through menopausal hormone therapy.

4. Stress urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a common problem that should not be ashamed or embarrassed. Trust a doctor who will consult you, conduct a pelvic examination and identify the symptoms. Additional tests may be needed, but the result is worth it.

5. Prolapse and prolapse of the genitals

Pelvic floor weakness is often caused by changes during pregnancy and childbirth, however, women who have never given birth before may have this problem. In turn, weakness of the pelvic muscles with age can lead to problems such as prolapse or prolapse of the genitals. Unfortunately, many women do not seek treatment for prolapse until it becomes a serious problem. It is better not to wait for everything to resolve itself, and at the slightest sign, contact a gynecologist.

Remember that even if you have passed the reproductive age, the health of your reproductive system should still be closely monitored. Visit a gynecologist at least once a year, follow all the recommendations and take care of yourself!
