Routine gynecological examinations include cervical examination, transvaginal ultrasound, routine vaginal discharge testing, colposcopy, biopsy, HPV testing, and breast examination. Prior to a gynecological examination, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and the genital area should be kept dry and clean. Vaginal douching with medications should also be avoided, as it may interfere with test results. Gynecological examinations benefit women by helping to rule out serious conditions—such as cervical cancer and breast cancer—and enabling early detection and timely treatment of gynecological disorders.
