Gynecological Examination<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Gynecological check-ups are recommended from the age of 25<\/strong> or after the onset of the first sexual relations. After the first consultation, they should be carried out once a year.<\/p>\n

During these visits, a comprehensive evaluation of the female genital tract is performed. Normally an appointment with the gynecologist<\/strong> includes a breast examination, abdominal examination, a bimanual examination, speculoscopy with cytology and gynecological ultrasound for evaluation of the uterus and ovaries. It is vitally important to take a detailed medical history with personal, family and gynecological history of interest to the patient to make a more accurate<\/strong> diagnosis and keep track of it.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> them from evolving to more complex phases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Contraception<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our gynecological team<\/strong> will be able to advise you on the contraceptive methods available that best suit you and your partner. This consultation is known as family planning.<\/p>\n

It is very important to be aware of the risks of having unprotected sex<\/strong> and not using the recommended contraceptive methods correctly. This can be solved with information and counseling.<\/p>\n

Contraceptives are methods that prevent pregnancy<\/strong> and, in some cases, the transmission of infectious diseases. Currently we have an infinite number of methods and the choice of one or another will depend on your relationship or your specific personal needs. The most common are barrier methods<\/strong> such as the male condom, oral hormonal contraceptives, the vaginal ring, the transdermal patch, the intrauterine device (IUD), the subcutaneous implant and tubal ligation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cervical pathology<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This service covers lesions and infections that occur in the cervix. It is essential to make an early diagnosis<\/strong> of precancerous lesions of cervical cancer because if left to evolve, they could end up developing cervical cancer. This is done by means of colposcopy. This is a technique that studies the surface of the cervix with a microscope after applying reagents, with which we can see if there are affected areas and perform a biopsy<\/strong> if needed.<\/p>\n

Colposcopy is indicated in patients who present alterations in the cytology, with frequent bleeding after sexual intercourse, or HPV infection, since the cervix is the organ where most of the lesions caused by this human papillomavirus<\/strong> occur.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pelvic floor<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Women’s muscles and ligaments<\/strong> naturally lose strength and elasticity over the years. In addition, other external factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, smoking or obesity among others, aggravate the problems related to the pelvic floor.<\/p>\n

We understand pelvic floor<\/strong> as the set of muscles and ligaments that form the lower part of the pelvis and support the uterus, bladder, urethra and rectum. We need to start worrying about our pelvic floor if we manifest symptoms of urinary incontinence<\/strong>, pelvic organ prolapse or sexual dysfunction.<\/p>\n

The best treatment to strengthen the pelvic floor is the very prevention of muscle weakness<\/strong>, through exercises guided by professional and good eating habits. The treatment<\/strong> itself will depend on each individual case. Normally in the mildest cases physiotherapy helps a lot to solve the problems of our pelvic floor and, in more serious cases, we will need surgical intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

breast pathology<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Breast self-examination<\/strong> is a technique by which every woman can know the normality of our breasts and detect any abnormalities. These alterations that we detect should be treated by a gynecologist<\/strong> or a qualified professional in the field.<\/p>\n

If you detect any of these abnormalities<\/strong>, do not hesitate to book your appointment with us for a thorough breast exam:<\/p>\n
