3 secrets our gynecologists could tell you

The most important thing: as a rule, we worry about the little things!

If you seriously care about your health, you should visit a gynecologist at least twice a year, take the necessary tests and smears. And also — it is worth knowing what these doctors would really like to tell us – but for some reason are shy.

Don't worry about epilation before the appointment

On average, an obstetrician-gynecologist spends 7-11 minutes examining one patient, and the stubble around the intimate areas is the last thing he might be interested in. But for you, an unnecessary epilation session can turn into a nuisance: microtraumas and cracks that form even after the most gentle procedure can get infected. Take care of yourself and don't expose yourself to unjustified and unnecessary risks.

Don't cancel a doctor's visit because of menstruation

Most women would rather cancel an appointment than come for an examination on the first day of their period, which suddenly began — and very in vain. In fact, menstruation will not interfere with the examination and will not affect the results of the smears, and almost all gynecologists have experience of childbirth and have seen something more serious than a few drops of menstrual blood. But a timely examination and timely diagnosis are much more important.

Never prescribe treatment yourself

Thrush, fungal infection, urinary tract infection – many symptoms are similar, but only a doctor can choose the right treatment. And if you use the wrong drugs, the course of the disease can worsen and even lead to serious complications, even irreversible ones. Please do not take risks!
