Gynecology and Obstetrics Review

Gynecological check-ups are recommended from the age of 25 or after the start of the first sexual relations. Once the first consultation has been carried out, they should be carried out once a year.

During these visits, an integral evaluation of the female genital apparatus is carried out. Normally an appointment with the gynecologist includes a breast examination, abdominal examination, a bimanual touch, speculoscopy with cytology and gynecological ultrasound for evaluation of the uterus and ovaries. It is vitally important to take a detailed medical history with the patient's personal, family and gynecological history of interest in order to make a more accurate diagnosis and monitor it.

The importance of these reviews lies in the early diagnosis of possible diseases related to the intimacy of women and their reproductive system, thus preventing them from evolving into more complex phases.

We have to start worrying about our pelvic floor if we show symptoms of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or sexual dysfunction.

The best treatment to strengthen the pelvic floor is the same prevention of muscle weakness, through guided exercises by professionals good eating habits. The treatment itself will depend on each specific case. Normally, in the mildest cases, physiotherapy helps a lot to solve our pelvic floor problems and, in more serious cases, we will need surgical intervention.
