Why You Should Have a Gynecological Ultrasound Every Year

Hello! Today, we will discuss an important question: why is it necessary to have a gynecological ultrasound every year, even if you're not experiencing any symptoms? I am Anastasia, an obstetrician-gynecologist and ultrasound specialist, and I will answer this question for you.

Why is it Important to Have a Gynecological Ultrasound Annually?

Annual gynecological ultrasound is essential to exclude the presence of gynecological pathology that does not cause any clinical symptoms. It is important to remember that some conditions may not show symptoms in the early stages but can only be detected through ultrasound.

What Conditions Can Be Detected at Early Stages?

Some gynecological conditions can develop asymptomatically and can only be detected through ultrasound. Here are a few examples of such conditions:

• Endometrial Polyps — growth of the uterine lining tissue, which may lead to menstrual cycle disruptions and infertility.
• Ovarian Cysts — formations that may cause pain or even affect reproductive health.
• Paraovarian Cysts — cysts located near the ovaries that may also be asymptomatic but can cause reproductive issues.
• Uterine Fibroids — benign tumors of the uterus that can cause pain and menstrual disturbances.

Why Are Regular Check-ups Important?

Scheduled visits to the gynecologist and regular ultrasound screenings help identify conditions that may not show symptoms in their early stages. This allows for treatment to begin at the earliest stages and helps avoid serious consequences for women's health.

Conclusion

Regular gynecological ultrasound is an essential part of women's health prevention. It helps detect conditions at an early stage when treatment is most effective. Don't forget about your routine check-ups to maintain your health at optimal levels.
