Medical expert identifies five critical symptoms in women's health

Dr. Gonca Göksu Bulgan, an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Medical Point Gaziantep Hospital, has identified five key health symptoms in women that should not be ignored or delayed due to busy daily schedules.

The five symptoms requiring medical evaluation include severe menstrual pain, irregular menstrual cycles, unusual bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, and changes in vaginal discharge.

Dr. Bulgan noted that while some pain during menstruation can be normal, it should be investigated if it is extremely severe, recurring monthly, increasing in intensity, or interfering with daily activities. Additionally, menstrual irregularities—such as cycles being significantly more or less frequent, or changes in bleeding volume—can be caused by hormonal imbalances or gynecological conditions and should be assessed by a physician.
