What diseases does a gynecologist treat?
If you have symptoms or simply haven't been to a doctor in a while, make an appointment with a gynecologist. Health is care that always pays off.
A gynecologist diagnoses and treats a wide range of diseases of the female reproductive system:

- Endometriosis and adenomyosis. They cause pain and difficulties with conception, and require a comprehensive approach.
- Uterine fibroids. Benign lesions require observation or treatment.
- Infections: Sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia or HPV are treated under the supervision of a doctor.
- Problems with the mammary glands. Mastopathy, cysts are diagnosed and treated together with a mammologist.
- Infertility. Diagnosis of causes such as adhesions or hormonal imbalances and development of treatment tactics.
- Pregnancy and its pathologies. Observation, assistance in case of threatened miscarriage or complications.

One of the most significant areas is oncogynecology. It includes diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the pelvic organs, as well as monitoring of women from the high-risk group.
To make your gynecologist appointment productive, prepare in advance:
- Collect health information. Remember in advance the date of the start of your last menstruation, the length of your cycle, and the nature of your discharge. If you have any complaints, write them down, indicating when the symptoms appeared and what aggravates them
- Avoid douching. Do not use douches or aggressive intimate hygiene products 2-3 days before the appointment, so as not to distort the test results
- Do not use vaginal medications. If you have undergone treatment and used suppositories or creams, tell your doctor, but it is better to stop using them 48 hours before the visit
- Avoid intimacy. Refrain from sexual intercourse 1-2 days before the visit, especially if you are planning to take tests
- Choose the right time. The best time for a visit is the middle of the cycle (10-14 days). In case of acute complaints, such as pain or unusual discharge, come regardless of menstruation
- Prepare documents. Take the results of previous examinations, discharge statements or a list of medications that you are taking
- Pay attention to hygiene. Take a shower, avoiding the use of aggressive detergents for the intimate area to maintain the natural balance of microflora
Write down all the questions you want to discuss with your doctor during the consultation: about contraception methods, pregnancy planning or treatment.
A visit to the gynecologist begins with a conversation. The doctor clarifies the details of the menstrual cycle, the nature of the discharge, the presence of pain, the characteristics of sexual life and methods of contraception. If you have undergone treatment or taken tests, it is important to tell about this. Chronic diseases and complaints are also discussed.
- Examination on the chair. The doctor visually assesses the condition of the genitals using sterile instruments. The examination allows you to identify inflammation, damage or anatomical features. The procedure is painless, but if you experience discomfort, tell the doctor.
- Taking tests. If necessary, smears are taken for flora and cytology to identify infections and changes in the cells of the cervix. The procedure takes a couple of minutes and does not require preparation
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. If indicated, an ultrasound examination is performed through the abdominal wall or vaginally. Ultrasound helps to assess the condition of the uterus, ovaries and other organs
- Assignment of additional studies. If necessary, the doctor may refer you for blood tests, hormonal tests, MRI or laparoscopy to clarify the diagnosis
After the consultation, the doctor will explain the results, answer questions and offer a treatment or prevention plan. All recommendations will be clear and understandable.

Is it necessary to have an ultrasound at every appointment?
