Why having a trusted gynecologist is key if you have a chronic condition

Having a trusted gynecologist in Telde or Las Palmas not only brings peace of mind, but can make a big difference when it comes to living with a chronic pathology. Diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis or vulvar lichen sclerosus require close follow-up, frequent gynecological check-ups and constant communication with the gynecologist. At Ginelux, we accompany each woman throughout her intimate health with personalized, human and continuous attention.

The importance of gynecological follow-up in women with chronic pathologies

Having a trusted gynecologist is not just a matter of having a check-up once a year. For women with chronic conditions, a gynecological consultation becomes an essential part of their overall health care.

Chronic gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids or recurrent vaginal infections, do not disappear with a single treatment. They require regular check-ups, analyses and constant therapeutic adaptations. A gynecologist who knows your history, symptoms and background can anticipate complications and help you maintain a good quality of life.

In areas such as Telde, Las Palmas, Vecindario or Maspalomas, more and more women are looking for gynecological clinics that offer a real gynecologist follow-up, beyond a one-time consultation. At Ginelux, our medical team specialized in general gynecology works with this philosophy: to accompany each patient with empathy, rigor and continuity.

Frequent gynecological check-up: beyond the annual check-up

Gynecologic screening is one of the most powerful tools for prevention and control. But how often should a complete gynecological checkup be performed?

• In healthy women, with no significant history, a check-up every 12 months is usually recommended.
• In patients with chronic pathologies or hormonal treatments, check-ups may need to be performed every 3 to 6 months, depending on the case.
• It is also advisable to visit the gynecologist if new symptoms, persistent discomfort or changes in the flow, menstrual cycle or vulvar skin appear.

The complete gynecological check-up includes physical examination, cytology, transvaginal ultrasound and, if necessary, complementary tests. This regular control allows early detection of hormonal alterations, infections or lesions that can worsen if not controlled in time.

You can learn more about how a gynecological examination is performed and its importance on our page of General gynecology.

How to make an appointment with a trusted gynecologist in Telde or Las Palmas

Finding a private gynecologist in Gran Canaria whom you really trust is not easy. It is not enough that he/she is a good professional: it is essential that he/she listens, that he/she knows your background and that he/she accompanies you with empathy throughout the time.

Here are some keys to choosing the right gynecologist:

• You are looking for a private gynecologist with experience in chronic female pathologies.
• Prioritize clear communication and ongoing follow-up with the gynecologist.
• Verify that gynecological clinics offer advanced ultrasound, in-house laboratory or collaboration with complementary specialists (dermatology, endocrinology, pelvic floor).

At Ginelux, Dr. Ramón Santana and his team treat both in Telde and patients from all over the island, with close attention and a multidisciplinary approach. His experience in cases such as vulvar lichen sclerosus -a pathology that requires constant monitoring and personalized treatments- is an example of how a trustworthy gynecologist can improve the patient's quality of life (read more about lichen sclerosus vulvae).

Why regular follow-up makes a difference in a chronic condition

Chronic diseases not only affect the body, they also impact emotional well-being. Having a constant medical reference brings security and allows to adapt treatments according to the evolution of symptoms.

In a regular gynecological consultation, parameters such as:

• Hormonal changes.
• Condition of the uterus, ovaries and cervix.
• Condition of vulvar skin and vaginal mucosa.
• Side effects of previous treatments.
• Detection of new lesions or infections.

A trusted gynecologist in Telde becomes an ally who knows your medical history and can make accurate decisions. In addition, a constant gynecological follow-up helps to avoid self-medication or the unnecessary use of treatments without medical supervision.

When to make an appointment with a gynecologist: warning signs

There are symptoms that should not be ignored and require an appointment with a gynecologist without delay:

• Persistent pelvic pain or pain during sexual intercourse.
• Bleeding outside the menstrual cycle.
• Itching, stinging or abnormal discharge.
• Appearance of vulvar lumps, lesions or spots.
• Intense hormonal changes or alterations in menstruation.

If you have had any of these signs, make an appointment with your gynecologist for a complete check-up. You can read more about when to go to the specialist in our article When to go to the gynecologist: pain, bleeding or lumps.
