Hello, gynecological examinations include routine gynecological exams, routine vaginal discharge tests, gynecological ultrasound, and specialized laboratory or other auxiliary tests. Routine gynecological examinations primarily assess the morphology of the external genitalia—checking for ulcers, erythema, swelling, areas of pigment loss, or abnormal growths. They also evaluate the vaginal walls for ulcers, polyps or other growths, cysts, congenital anomalies, and any abnormal vaginal discharge. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
