It would be best for girls to go for a gynecological examination before their first period and sexual intercourse.
Although they are innocent, vaginal secretions can be checked by bacteriological analysis, especially if there is burning, itching, and an unpleasant odor.
When there is pain in the lower part of the abdomen, an ultrasound and rectal examination can be performed to determine the cause, and rule out ovarian and uterine inflammation.
Frequent urination may be due to an ovarian cyst or a harmless bladder cold, which should be checked. If they do not come before the first period, it is preferable to visit a gynecologist immediately after it.
If the cycles are irregular, the periods are painful and the sloppiness is increased, the examination is of inestimable importance.
Waiting until adulthood for the cycle to stabilize spontaneously has been overcome in professional circles.
It is important to diagnose all disorders as soon as possible and determine the appropriate therapy.
Parental support is extremely important because it builds additional self-confidence in a girl on the threshold of a new life.
For the first examination, it is preferable that she comes with mom or dad, and whether she will go to the gynecologist together or whether the parent will stay in the waiting room depends on the daughter's decision. Her wish must be respected, reports Nezavisne.
