In what cases is the girl looking for an armchair? How does the examination procedure take place and when is an "adult" examination necessary? What should be done to prepare the girl for the procedure? About all this we will tell in today's article.
How will they look at the girl?
Inspection, if necessary, can be carried out, starting from a more orphanage. Examination of the genitals can be carried out on the armchair or on the couch. Inspection of the armchair is more comfortable, however, if the girl is still very small, then the procedure is performed on the couch.
Examination "in an adult way" implies taking analytical tests and smears. The tools that are currently used in this case are so safe that it is possible to take tests even in pediatric children.
How should the examination be done and what should the doctor do?
First of all, the doctor must listen to complaints. The collection of patient data is the most important stage. Based on this information, the doctor draws conclusions. Why is this stage so important? Foci of inflammation, caused by the fault of other organs, can lead to discomfort or inflammation of the genital organs. For example, quite often appendicitis in the history of the disease can in one way or another affect the state of the reproductive system, very often a certain effect can have diseases of the gastrointestinal system. To establish the diagnosis, an integrated approach is used that includes examination, anamnesis, additional studies, ultrasound, smears , research, hormone research. Using the data provided by this set of tools, the doctor can establish a correct diagnosis.
How to explain to the child what he needs to do and avoid fear of inspection?
First of all, in such a delicate matter the child must trust the doctor who examines him. Most often with the first contact of a doctor and a girl, a special method is used, which includes a long conversation. It is not excluded that at first the child will refuse to be examined. Therefore, the doctor must try to put the child to him, to show that he can be trusted. It is not something terrible, if at the first examination the child is not given. Mamavshche can bring the child on the next day, before it as it should be talking with the girl and convincing her not to be afraid of the gynecologist. During the subsequent consultations, if there is a need for medical intervention or other manipulations, the child will already trust the doctor. If the age of the child is too much, then, without unpleasant sensations, unfortunately, it will not be possible to manage. The doctor should be able to more clearly determine if invasive interventions and collections are required to avoid unnecessary examination and thereby not injure the child.
How should the gynecologist act to avoid traumatizing the girl?
Most often for a child, any examination by a doctor is one or another degree of psychological trauma, which is exacerbated if the child is painful or if he has had a lot of contacts in his medical history with sly people who could prescribe painful procedures, such as an intramuscular blood test. In such cases, children can be very afraid of the doctor, which clearly indicates the presence of psychological trauma.
The task of the gynecologist is to minimize the stress of the examination. To do this, the doctor should keep the tone of voice affectionate, slow, gentle, he should smile, in the office should keep toys designed for the youngest children. If it concerns a teenage girl, the doctor should simply conduct a thorough conversation, in which to explain the purpose for which this survey is required.
Any child has the right to his private life, unless, of course, there are some other circumstances, such as expensive assignment or research, which requires financial support from the parents.
