What investigations are performed within gynaecology?
At Medical Centre, we perform various examinations to fully assess your gynaecological health. Which investigations are appropriate depends on your symptoms, age, medical history and stage of life.We listen attentively and always tailor our approach to your specific situation, respecting your needs and privacy. Do you have complaints, questions or is it time for a check-up? We are at your service.
Anamnesis
During the initial consultation, the doctor identifies the symptoms and gathers information on medical history, current medication use and possible hereditary factors. On this basis, a complete picture of the state of health emerges, providing direction for planning appropriate follow-up examinations.
Clinical research
During the physical examination, the doctor assesses the general state of health and possible abnormalities. These findings serve as a starting point for determining necessary follow-up examinations.
Lab tests
Through blood or urine samples, we measure important health parameters, such as hormone levels, iron levels, thyroid function and inflammation markers. This helps detect underlying problems or follow up treatments.
Ultrasound
A gynaecological ultrasound visualises the uterus, ovaries and surrounding structures. This can be done via an external (abdominal) or internal (vaginal) ultrasound, depending on the medical indication.
Speculum examination
In this examination, the doctor examines the vagina and cervix using a speculum. It is a simple and short procedure, usually performed during a routine check-up or in case of targeted complaints.
Rectovaginal examination
In this examination, the doctor assesses the vagina and rectum to check the pelvic floor and surrounding structures, among other things. The examination is performed with care, comfort and respect for your privacy.
Pregnancy counselling
We offer medical follow-up and guidance during pregnancy, with regular consultations, ultrasounds and check-ups tailored to the different stages of your pregnancy.
Menopause counselling
During and after the menopause, the body undergoes several changes. We offer tailored counselling tailored to your symptoms and needs, including advice on hormones, lifestyle and possible treatments.
Holter monitoring
Clinical examination is a medical evaluation in which a doctor assesses a patient's health through physical examination, tests and a medical interview. The aim is to detect possible conditions and make a diagnosis.
Exercise test
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to assess heart function, detect arrhythmias and diagnose other heart-related problems. The ECG records the electrical signals passing through the heart, which can help identify abnormalities in the rhythm or function of the heart.
Cardiac MRI or CT scan
Echocardiography is an imaging technique that uses ultrasound to image the structure and function of the heart. It is used to detect heart disease, assess heart function and monitor treatments.
When do you need a gynaecological examination?
Are you experiencing menstrual problems, lower abdominal pain or other gynaecological symptoms? A consultation with the gynaecologist helps assess these symptoms and initiate the right treatment. Regular check-ups are important to detect conditions early and prevent serious complications, such as:
Complaints during menstruation - Irregular, heavy or painful periods may indicate conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids.Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) - This can be caused by infections, vaginal dryness or other medical conditions.Vaginal infections - Symptoms such as itching, burning or abnormal discharge may indicate a fungal or bacterial infection.Pregnancy wish - Difficulties in getting pregnant often require a gynaecological examination to identify the possible causes.Transitional complaints - Hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings can be a consequence of menopause.Problems with pelvic floor - Complaints such as urinary incontinence or a pressing sensation in the vagina may indicate prolapse.Abnormal smear - An abnormal result may indicate cellular changes that require further investigation.Lower abdominal pain - Persistent or severe abdominal pain can have several causes, including gynaecological conditions.
Intervening in time, focusing on your health
Many gynaecological conditions can be well treated or even prevented with timely follow-up and regular check-ups. It is therefore important not to postpone an examination, especially if there are symptoms or an increased risk due to hereditary predisposition, hormonal changes or previous health problems. Early diagnosis makes all the difference: it prevents complications, relieves symptoms and gives peace of mind.
How does a gynaecology consultation take place?
1. Intake & Anamnesis
A gynaecological consultation starts with a conversation in which the doctor or nurse asks questions about your periods, pregnancies, contraception, sexual health, any complaints and your medical history. This allows the doctor to get a full and personal picture of your health
2. Gynaecological examination
If necessary, an additional examination follows, such as an internal examination, smear test, ultrasound or other tests (e.g. STD screening). This is always done in a safe and respectful environment, with clear explanations at each step. The aim is to accurately chart your gynaecological health and detect any problems in time.
3. Results & Advice
After the examination, the doctor will discuss the findings with you. If necessary, a follow-up plan is drawn up for further follow-up, treatment or prevention. You will receive tailored advice on topics such as menstruation, fertility, menopause or contraception. The medical report is then made available in your eHealth or CoZo file.
