Women often make the mistake, especially at a younger age, of thinking that the routine physical exam is something that doesn’t need to be done for them. They think that their reproductive system is in working order as long as they aren’t experience any symptoms that would otherwise give them cause for concern. It’s a shame that they don’t know the reality but the reality is that women need to be examined yearly to promote good vaginal health.
For instance a simply gynecological exam could reveal that a woman has vaginal warts. Now, a simple look in the mirror or internal self exam would not make this apparent to the woman. You need the testing and keen understanding of the female body that a doctor possesses. Something like these internal vaginal warts could end up causing a lot of problems down the road. That includes infertility and cancer.
The issue with women is the same as men, that because they aren’t seeing it then it must not be there but blood test would reveal the things that you would need to know. Going to get a routine blood test would reveal that the vitamin d supply is low for women and that they need to be taking a supplement. Without it there would be no indication and therefore no treatment.
Getting a routine physical matter to the overall state of their health and ignoring only causes further complications down the road. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s ok to ignore your own health. If you have to do it as part of a group of women who go and get their screening then do so but it’s too important of an issue that you cannot pass it up.
