Is it due to excitement or something else, but the fact is that some women forget the important questions they wanted to ask when they go to the gynecologist.

These are some of the questions that may be bothering you, so let this be a small reminder of what you should pay attention to before your next visit to the gynecologist.

Is bleeding after sex normal?

Bleeding can mean many things, from minor problems, such as uterine polyps, to inflammation of the uterus, and even serious problems (cervical cancer). If you notice any bleeding after sexual intercourse, pay attention to whether it is light (means a new wound), or dark red (may be the rest of menstrual blood) and inform the doctor.

Irregular menstruation

If your cycle is late every month, that's not normal, and neither is spotting or bleeding between two cycles. Remember as many details as possible - how often it happens to "skip", whether you have pain, how long it lasts, whether the bleeding is heavy or light.

How many drinks are you allowed to drink per week?

It is believed that the amount of alcohol, if it is excessive, can negatively affect the reproductive health of women. Quite a number of women unknowingly drink more than the recommended amount of one drink a day. That's why you record your intake of alcoholic beverages for one week, if you want to talk about it with your gynecologist.

When should you self-examine your breasts, and when is it time to visit a specialist?

It is recommended that you perform the self-examination examination after the end of menstruation, because during menstruation the breasts can be hard, which makes it impossible to properly examine them.

Why can oral sex be dangerous?

The number of cases of cancer of the oral cavity is increasing, with HPV (human papilloma virus) being the cause of more than half of the cases, which can enter the oral cavity through oral sex. Refrain from oral sex, if you have minor sores in your mouth that are difficult to heal or you suffer from a persistent cough, the same applies to your partner, reports Zdrava krava.
