Gynecological health check-ups are an essential part of maintaining overall well-being, especially in a fast-paced city like Hong Kong, where women need to regularly pay attention to their health. Based on age and individual needs, personalized gynecological screening plans are designed to detect potential issues early and safeguard health.
Gynecological examination services include:
● Cervical smear test (Pap smear)
A simple and quick screening method used to detect abnormal changes in cervical cells, helping to identify early-stage cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. The doctor collects cells from the cervical surface for microscopic examination to assess for abnormal cells or infections. It is recommended that married women or those who are sexually active undergo this test regularly.
● Pelvic ultrasound examination
This uses high-frequency sound waves via the abdomen or vagina to create images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. It is used to diagnose conditions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and infertility. The procedure is radiation-free, painless, and safe.
● Breast ultrasound examination
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to examine breast tissue and is used to evaluate breast lumps or abnormalities. It often complements mammography and is particularly effective for women with dense breast tissue.
● Sexually transmitted infection screening
Includes blood, urine, or secretion tests to screen for infections such as HPV, HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent transmission.
● Hormone testing
Analyzes hormone levels through blood samples to assess issues like menstrual irregularities, infertility, menopausal symptoms, and thyroid disorders, providing guidance for diagnosis and treatment.
● Endometrial biopsy
Involves sampling the uterine lining to check for abnormal hyperplasia or cancer. It is commonly used in cases of painful menstruation, abnormal bleeding, difficulty conceiving, or suspected endometriosis. The biopsy procedure is simple and provides accurate diagnosis.
