Gynecological Consultation: What Does It Include?

A gynecological consultation is not only about examination but also a full interaction between the doctor and the patient. Learn how the consultation proceeds, what steps are involved in the examination, and what tests may be performed.

Step 1. Conversation with the Doctor

The first step in the consultation is a trustful conversation. The patient discusses all her concerns and shares important details about her health. There are no taboo topics — your openness helps the doctor make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment.

• Medical history collection: understanding the patient's history, complaints, and lifestyle factors.
• Discussion: treatment plans and preventive measures.

The communication stage is the foundation for further diagnostics.

Step 2. Gynecological Examination

After the conversation, the examination is carried out on the gynecological chair. The doctor inspects:

• External genital organs — to assess the general condition and check for visible changes.
• Cervix and vaginal walls — using speculums.

During the examination, the following procedures may be done:

• Collection of necessary tests.
• Colposcopy — examining the cervix under magnification. The patient can observe the procedure on a screen, which helps to better understand her health status.

Step 3. Ultrasound and Additional Examinations

If necessary, during the consultation, the following may be performed:

• Pelvic ultrasound.
• Breast ultrasound.
• Thyroid ultrasound.

These tests help provide a complete picture of the patient’s health status.

Step 4. Recommendations and Treatment Plan

After the examination and tests, the doctor:

• Establishes a preliminary diagnosis.
• Prescribes treatment (if necessary).
• Gives recommendations for further testing or preventive care.

On average, a consultation lasts from one to one and a half hours, depending on the procedures performed.

Why It’s Important to Trust Your Doctor
