Gynecologists

Despite the fact that medicine has made a huge leap forward in recent decades, the female body remains vulnerable to various diseases. And doctors continue to agree that the best treatment is to prevent the onset of disease.

How does a gynecologist's appointment work?

Depending on the reason for which you went to the doctor, the stages of the visit may differ, but if we are talking about the first appointment without an emergency, it can be broken down into five stages:

• Familiarization. First of all, you need to get acquainted with the doctor, feel comfortable with him and explain what brought you to the gynecologist. You need to talk about the reasons, possible symptoms, or goals you want to achieve, such as pregnancy.
• Diagnosis. The doctor will ask about your medical history, whether you have any chronic diseases, what treatment you have had, at what age you are sexually active, whether you use contraceptives. The doctor will ask if you have your past test results and reports from the doctors you have been treated or seen (remember to take all your medical documents with you to your appointment). The doctor will then ask you to sit in the gynecological chair and perform an examination, and he or she may also take a smear or perform other tests.
• Discussion. After all the information received, the specialist will be able to make initial conclusions and share his or her assumptions with you.
• Questions. At this stage, you should take the initiative to ask all the questions that you have prepared in advance or that have arisen during the appointment. It is very important that the answers you get from the doctor are complete, and you do not have any points that you do not understand.
• Recommendations. After discussing all your questions, the gynecologist will give you a recommendation for your next visit or a treatment plan if there is no need to wait for test results.

These steps may vary, but the general idea is that you should feel as comfortable as possible, and the gynecologist should help you with this and explain what is going on with your body and how to help it.
