Why is Gynaecological Check-Up Necessary?
Many gynaecological conditions, such as polycystic ovaries, fibroids, endometriosis, genital infections, and cervical cancer, may not show symptoms in their early stages. A regular gynaecological check-up helps diagnose them before serious complications develop. Furthermore, through prevention and early intervention, women can maintain their fertility and prevent serious conditions affecting their overall health.
In addition to physical examination, the gynaecologist can provide advice regarding reproductive health, contraception, menopause management, sexual health, and proper body care. Awareness and prevention are the strongest tools for every woman's health.
How Often Should a Gynaecological Check-Up Be Done?
Women Aged 18-30
Annual gynaecological check-up, especially if sexually active. A Pap smear should be done at least every three years unless there are specific reasons for more frequent testing.
Women Aged 30-50
Regular gynaecological check-up, with a Pap smear and HPV DNA test every 3-5 years, according to medical guidelines.
Women Over 50
The check-up continues regularly, with emphasis on hormonal testing and prevention of breast and cervical cancer.
Regular gynaecological care is essential for a woman’s health and well-being. Preventive check-ups provide safety, information, and contribute to a quality life with confidence.
