It is vital that you are well aware of the times in which you need to schedule an appointment to see your trusted gynecologist. This way, you will not have to suffer with some of the issues many women suffer with, simply because they were not aware that there was a solution for what they are dealing with. Here are some of the issues that may present themselves at some point in your life and that will require an appointment: 

A Drastic Change In Your Vaginal Discharge

Vaginal discharge is a normal and healthy thing to have. Also, the color and texture of this discharge can naturally change throughout the month depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. However, if you have suddenly noticed that it is a lot different than it has ever been in the past, such as in its texture, color, or odor, you will want to call the gynecologist for an appointment. You could have an infection or a sexually transmitted disease. 

There Is Pain Present

Whether the pain is constantly there or it is only there during intercourse, you will want to make it a point to schedule yourself an appointment with your doctor. He or she can do a full examination to determine the cause of the problem. It could be anything from an STD to a lack of natural lubrication. Once the cause of the pain is determined, your doctor will be able to talk with you about some of the treatment options that should work well for you.

You Are Having Irregular Bleeding

The occasional irregular bleeding may not be something that you want to overly concern yourself with. However, if this has turned into a consistent problem that you have been dealing with, it is better to be seen by a gynecologist as soon as possible. The irregular bleeding could be a sign of fibroid growth, cancer, or polyps. If you are pregnant and experiencing bleeding, you will need to seek immediate medical attention. It could be anything from damage to your cervix to a miscarriage.

Since there are so many things that can come up to require a trip to the gynecologist, you will need to make sure that your doctor is one that you can fully trust. This way, you will be able to open up about some issues without fear of judgement, as this will allow you to get the best care possible.
