Gynecologist in Warsaw
Hello, my name is Anastasia Sergiienko.
I am an English-speaking gynecologist in Warsaw
Gynecology for me transcends a mere profession; it’s a fervent passion that fuels my everyday life! My journey began with a rewarding two-year stint working in Canada, during which time I had the remarkable opportunity to study courses from Harvard Medical School, The Society of Canadian Colposcopists, and The Society of Gynecologists of Canada. This immersive experience not only enriched my expertise but also allowed me to rub shoulders with some of the brightest minds in the field.
Since 2019, my enthusiasm has found a new avenue in my gynecology blog on Instagram, which has burgeoned into a community of 26,000 followers. Moreover, the satisfaction of having thousands of online consultations for patients worldwide is indescribable. The ability to make a difference in the lives of my patients, to guide and assist them, fills me with a sense of purpose and joy. Each day, I eagerly anticipate the chance to welcome new patients into my office, where the quest for health and well-being continues.

What does a gynecologist do during the first examination?
+
During the first examination with a gynecologist, there is a comprehensive approach to the patient, the main goal of which is to gather information and assess the woman's health condition. Here are the main stages of the first examination:
- Medical History: The doctor discusses the patient's medical history, family background, details of the menstrual cycle, sexual history, and other important health aspects.
- External Examination: The doctor may conduct an examination of the external genital organs, checking them for any irritation, rashes, or other abnormalities.
- Internal Examination: Using a special instrument called a vaginal speculum, the gynecologist can examine the cervix and vagina. This helps to detect anomalies, inflammation, or other problems.
- Cytology Smear: This test, also known as a Pap smear, is usually done during the internal examination. The doctor collects a small number of cells from the cervix for laboratory research. This helps detect precancerous changes or cervical cancer at early stages.
- Manual Examination: Using a gloved hand, the gynecologist inserts one or two fingers into the vagina, simultaneously pressing on the abdomen. This allows the doctor to feel the size and shape of the uterus and appendages and to detect painful areas or tumors. Recommendations and Consultations: After the examination, the gynecologist may provide recommendations on health care, contraception, pregnancy planning, and other issues.
- Additional Examinations: Depending on your age, sexual history, and individual risks, the doctor may recommend additional tests such as pelvic ultrasound, screening for chlamydia, or other infections.
- Remember that communication with the doctor is key. Don't hesitate to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
