Gynaecological Follow-up
Regular follow-up is essential to safeguard your gynaecological health at every stage of life.
The preventive consultation
The annual gynaecological consultation enables early detection of potential abnormalities and a comprehensive review of your intimate health. It is recommended from the start of sexual activity or from the age of 25.
Dr Maazouzi carries out a full clinical examination including breast examination, speculum examination and, where appropriate, a vaginal examination. The consultation covers personal and family history, menstrual cycle, contraception and sexual health.
Smear test & cervical screening
The cervical smear test (or HPV test) is the gold standard for cervical cancer screening. The recommended schedule is as follows:
- Ages 25 to 29 — cervical cytology every 3 years (after two normal smears 1 year apart)
- Ages 30 to 65 — HPV test every 5 years
In the event of an abnormal result, Dr Maazouzi offers colposcopy with directed biopsy where necessary.
Fertility assessment
If you are experiencing difficulty conceiving, Dr Maazouzi carries out a comprehensive fertility assessment including:
- Hormonal profile — FSH, LH, oestradiol, AMH, prolactin, TSH
- Pelvic ultrasound — assessment of ovarian reserve (antral follicle count)
- Hysterosalpingography — verification of tubal patency
- Partner's semen analysis — arranged when appropriate
Depending on the results, Dr Maazouzi will guide you towards the most appropriate course of action: ovarian stimulation, surgery, or referral to a fertility centre.
Infection screening
Sexually transmitted infection screening is an integral part of gynaecological follow-up. It is routinely offered when there is a change of partner, unprotected intercourse, or suggestive symptoms.
- Chlamydia & gonorrhoea — vaginal or urine sample (PCR)
- Serology — HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis
- HPV — integrated into cervical screening from age 30
- Genital herpes — clinical and serological diagnosis when necessary
Early screening enables prompt treatment and prevents complications (tubal infertility, ectopic pregnancy).
