When is it necessary to start seeing a gynaecologist?

Unless there’s an evident medical condition, you should start seeing a gynaecologist as soon as you become sexually active. It’s advisable to visit a gynaecologist in Johannesburg for a pelvic exam and pap smear at least once a year. However, there are many women who see gynaecologists several times a year, especially if they’re pregnant.

What should I expect when visiting a gynaecologist for the first time?

The first visit might be limited to a detailed conversation with your doctor. At that stage, you can find out what to expect from future visits and get information about how to stay healthy. In addition, you might have a few physical examinations too. Gynaecologists in Johannesburg generally ask a lot of questions about you, your menstrual cycle and your sexual activity. It might seem personal at first, but they need this information to provide effective treatment. If you are concerned about confidentiality, you and your doctor can talk about it before you answer any questions.

Is it possible to visit a gynaecologist if you’re on your period?

Yes, it is still possible to visit a gynaecologist when you’re on your period. Ideally, it should be at a time when the flow isn’t too heavy. However, it’s better to have a pap smear or pelvic exam when you’re not on your period. Try to schedule your annual exam for a time when you are not having your period.

What are the most common examinations that gynaecologists perform?

The most common exams performed by gynaecologists include: •General examination - taking your blood pressure, conducting a urine test, weighing you, listening to your lungs and heart, feeling the glands under your neck and arms and in your groin area, and possibly a haemoglobin test, which requires a finger prick. •HIV/STI screening upon request •Breast exam - the gynae examines your breasts for any lumps or abnormalities. •Pelvic exam – the gynae checks the outside of your genital area, and then the inside using a tool called a speculum. It opens up your vagina and enables the gynae to see your cervix. •Pap smears - a screening tool for detecting cervical cancer cells.

What sort of health conditions and concerns can be discussed with a gynaecologist?

Most women share similar health concerns and gynaecologists in Johannesburg are trained to address many of the typical issues. Health conditions that can be addressed by gynaecologists are: -Cramps and problems with menstrual periods -Acne -Weight -Sex and sexuality -Birth control -STIs -Alcohol, drugs, and smoking -Emotional ups and downs
