Gynecological Services<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]It is standard advice for women to talk with a\u00a0gynecologist<\/a>\u00a0each year starting around age 18, to get a complete annual exam starting around age 21, and to be tested for\u00a0cervical cancer<\/a>\u00a0every few years after that. But what if issues arise between appointments that have you a bit worried?<\/p>\n

Here are nine symptoms that warrant a trip to the gynecologist as soon as possible<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Painful periods<\/strong>
    \nIt could point to\u00a0    endometriosis<\/a>(when extra tissue builds up in your uterus and causes bleeding and swelling) or\u00a0fibroids<\/a>\u00a0(growths of muscle tumor cells and tissue in the uterus).<\/li>\n
  2. Vaginal bleeding\u00a0<\/strong>
    \n    Vaginal bleeding-<\/a>\u00a0is normal for women to have spotting in\u00a0the first few months after starting certain\u00a0birth control methods<\/a>\u00a0and to experience heavier periods as they near menopause. But if you have unexpected vaginal bleeding \u2014 for example, after menopause \u2014 then you should see a gynecologist to find out why.<\/li>\n
  3. Starting or resuming Sex<\/strong>
    \n    sex<\/a>– women need to be aware of the risks from unprotected sex- e.g pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Certain\u00a0sexually transmitted\u00a0<\/a>diseases raise\u00a0your chances of\u00a0infertility<\/a>\u00a0and cancer. Women affected by HPV infection are at greater risk of getting\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0HPV<\/a>\u00a0HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus. Vaccines are available for HPV \u00a0and these can be taken beforehand.<\/li>\n
  4. Bumps and\u00a0Blister<\/strong>
    \nBumps and\u00a0    blisters<\/a>.\u00a0Might be a genital wart, which is a small swelling caused by an STD. A small but painful blister that vanishes in a couple of weeks but returns could be\u00a0genital herpes<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Breast<\/strong>
    \nA gynecologist can advise whether a new lump, sensitivity, or discharge in your     Breast<\/a>\u00a0 is cause for concern about cancer. Most of the time, these conditions are not cancerous.<\/li>\n
  6. Vaginal odor\u00a0<\/strong>
    \nIf\u00a0you notice a smell coming from your vagina that is particularly unpleasant, You might be dealing with bacterial growth or a vaginal infection that needs prescription medication to cure.<\/li>\n
  7. Discomfort during sex<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0If you experience dryness during sex, or have pain or bleeding during sex you need to see your doctor<\/li>\n
  8. Low\u00a0Libido<\/strong>
    \nLow     libido<\/a> sometimes a medical condition or medication you take reduces your interest in sex as a side effect. Work or family\u00a0stress<\/a>\u00a0can also reduce sexual drive.<\/li>\n
  9. Incontinence<\/strong>
    \n    Incontinence-<\/a>\u00a0Accidental leakage of urine is\u00a0more common in the 50s and 60s and after menopause. Also, it can happen after\u00a0childbirth<\/a>, especially if the\u00a0baby<\/a>\u00a0is large or the doctor needs to use forceps or a vacuum. A gynecologist can suggest treatments such as behavioral\u00a0therapy<\/a>\u00a0or muscle relaxation, diet change,\u00a0medication<\/a>, or surgery, or refer you to a specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
