Women's Health Examination Items
Disease description:
Female, 24 years old: I have never undergone a gynecological examination before. Today, while discussing with friends, they mentioned that women in their twenties should undergo certain gynecological exams to rule out conditions such as cervicitis. Could you please tell me what gynecological examination items are available?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The main items of women's health examination include the following aspects:
1. Routine gynecological examination: A comprehensive examination of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexa to assess their development, morphology, position, and presence of abnormalities.
2. Routine discharge examination: Assessment of the cleanliness and pH level of vaginal discharge, as well as detection of potential infections such as bacteria, trichomonas, and fungi.
3. Ultrasound examination: Using B-mode ultrasound or color Doppler ultrasound to observe whether there are any lesions in organs such as the endometrium, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, including conditions like uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.
4. Cervical cancer screening: Screening for abnormal cervical lesions through TCT (Thinprep Cytologic Test) and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) testing to help prevent cervical cancer.
5. Other examinations: Depending on individual circumstances, additional tests such as breast examination and colposcopy may be required to comprehensively assess a woman's health.
