"In life, most women believe that after menopause, with the decrease in sexual life and fertility, reproductive tract problems no longer exist, so there is no need to do gynecological examinations, and they are even reluctant to do so because it is troublesome, unless there is vaginal bleeding or abnormal secretions, then they will think of seeing a doctor." So, is it necessary to do examinations after menopause? It is understood that except for ovarian cancer which has no symptoms and is difficult to detect early, cervical cancer and endometrial cancer can be diagnosed through testing methods. "For example, regular cervical cytology examinations can diagnose cervical cancer early. If you wait until bleeding occurs during sexual contact, it is often in the late stage. Endometrial cancer manifests as postmenopausal bleeding or abnormal bleeding when menopause is approaching, and it can be diagnosed by curettage and HPV virus infection testing." Many women think that they have reached menopause and will not have to worry about gynecological diseases in the future. They are even too embarrassed to go for a checkup, and will only go to the doctor when there is a serious condition. As a result, they bury hidden dangers for their own bodies. In fact, the high-incidence age of malignant tumors, such as cervical cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma, and ovarian cancer, mostly occurs after menopause. Some experts say that the incidence of endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer has been on the rise in recent years. At the same time, due to the decline of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen, pelvic floor dysfunction can occur, such as uterine and vaginal prolapse, senile vaginitis, etc., which brings various inconveniences to women's own body and sex life. |
