When a woman notices discomfort in the vaginal area, as well as dryness and irritation, she should see a doctor for a proper evaluation.
The first thing the specialist will do is to take a detailed medical history of the patient. Once the anamnesis has been taken, the specialist will proceed to evaluate the vaginal area through a gynecological examination. When the speculum is introduced, the physician will assess whether the walls of the vagina are thinned and irritated.
In addition, the gynecologist will take a sample with the help of a hyposcope to analyze the vaginal secretion and rule out possible infections.
