8 Things Your Gynaecologist Can Tell From Just One Visit
1. They Can Tell When You're Pregnant Without Asking You/Or Without You Telling Them

They’re trained for these things so don’t be shocked if they tell you more about yourself that you’ve told them. 

When you’re pregnant, your cervix takes on a bluish hue thanks to increased blood flow and your gynaecologist can tell. 

However, they’ll most likely only tell you about it if you ask them. 

 

2. They Can Where You Are On Your Cycle

Thanks to the different colour, consistency and appearance of your discharge, your gynaecologist can probably predict where you are on your cycle and if you’re on birth control. 

3. They Can Tell You Why Sex Hurts

Gynaecologists are trained to know your vaginas inside and out and can recognise when estrogen fluctuations cause vaginal dryness – making sex hurt. 

4. They Can Tell If You're Having Bowel Incontinence

You might be embarrassed by your incontinence issues but your doctor can actually already tell if they are an expert in this field. 

Gynaecologists trained in this area can tell when the muscles in your vaginal walls have been weakened. 

5. They Can Tell If There Are Things Affecting Your Uterus Or Ovaries

During a bimanual exam, your gynaecologist can check for growths or abnormalities that could happen to your uterus or ovaries. 

6. They're Able To Tell If You've Had A Miscarriage

This depends highly on whether they give you a pelvic exam or not. 

If you’ve told your gynae that you’re pregnant and if they spot signs of ectopic pregnancy, they might do a pelvic exam on you to check if everything is okay. 

During this time, they’ll check for a dilated cervix because it means a greater likelihood of a miscarriage. 

7. They Can Tell If You're Having A Yeast Infection

Your doctor might do a wet mount test to check your vaginal discharge and tell whether there are signs of yeast and other organisms. 

8. They Can Tell Whether Your Yeast Infection Is Actually A Yeast Infection
image

Whether it’s bacterial vaginosis or other types of vaginal infection, your gynaecologists can tell if you’ve got a yeast infection thanks to the appearance of your vulva and the discharge coming out of your vagina.
