Many women make it a routine to visit their gynecologist annually for checkups and necessary screening tests. However, it's essential to reach out to your doctor between appointments if you notice any vaginal symptoms. “Women shouldn’t wait to see their gynecologist if they are experiencing concerning symptoms," advises obstetrics and gynecology specialist Dana Jacoby, M.D. Dr. Jacoby states that your symptoms may be easily treatable, but even a mild infection could escalate if left unattended.
Dana Jacoby, M.D. highlights five common symptoms that women should pay attention to:
- Pelvic Pain and Discomfort
- Vaginal Itching or Burning
- Changes in Your Menstrual Cycle
- Vaginal Odor
- Vaginal Bleeding
Dr. Jacoby emphasizes that experiencing these symptoms is not uncommon, but advises against relying solely on internet searches, which can induce unnecessary anxiety.
