Routine Gynecology Checkup
Even if you are not aware that you have any gynaecological problems, a routine check-up is a wise idea to make sure that you do not have any undiagnosed conditions that affect your reproductive or sexual health.
The tests carried out at a routine gynae check-up are designed to detect any issues early on so that you can access prompt treatment if necessary. Whether you are in your twenties or your sixties or beyond, a regular gynaecological examination is a must to preserve your health.
A visit to the gynecologist is recommended for annual screening and any time a woman has concerns about symptoms such as pelvic, vulvar, and vaginal pain or abnormal bleeding from the uterus.

- issues relating to pregnancy, fertility, menstruation, and menopause

- problems with tissues that support the pelvic organs, including ligaments and muscles
- STIs
- polycystic ovary syndrome

- pelvic inflammatory diseases, including abscesses
- sexuality, including health issues relating to same-sex and bisexual relationships
