Doctors suggest: Girls should also undergo gynecological examinations

Generally speaking, women who have sex should have a gynecological examination every year, but clinical findings show that it is common for girls to suffer from gynecological diseases such as developmental abnormalities, gynecological inflammation, tumors, and menstrual disorders. For example, dysfunctional uterine bleeding during puberty, hymen occlusion, vaginal septum, congenital absence of uterus and vagina, and ovarian, uterine, and vaginal tumors may all occur in unmarried girls.

But the reality is very worrying: very few girls take the initiative to go to the hospital for gynecological examinations. This is closely related to their shyness and their parents' lack of attention. A large number of patients are also worried that gynecological examinations will damage their hymen.

Experts say that women of all ages may suffer from gynecological diseases. Through gynecological examinations, doctors can understand the size of the uterus and the condition of the ovaries, and see if there are any lesions. Even if there is severe bleeding or cervical lesions, a vaginal examination is required to ensure the accuracy of the examination. The doctor will obtain the consent of the patient and family members in advance and try to use some alternative methods to reduce damage to the vagina. In addition, for unmarried girls who have not had sex, the hospital can also use a combined diagnosis and treatment of the anus and abdomen without a vaginal examination.
