Although search engines provide quick access to information, understanding symptoms and their possible underlying causes requires professional medical assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address these concerns, gynecologists from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/\">International Medical Center Priora<\/a><\/strong> answered five frequently asked questions about women\u2019s health for <strong>Index.hr<\/strong>, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis, preventive care, and an individualized approach to every patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Five Important Questions About Women\u2019s Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article features <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/about-us\/our-team\/dimitrije-milojkovic-dr-med\/\">Dimitrije Milojkovi\u0107, MD<\/a><\/strong>, a subspecialist in gynecologic oncology and Head of the Gynecology Clinic at IMC Priora, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/about-us\/our-team\/marko-jovanovac\/\">Marko Jovanovac, MD<\/a><\/strong>, a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics and a subspecialist in human reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/about-us\/our-team\/dimitrije-milojkovic-dr-med\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/milojkovic-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9506\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Jovanovac explained the possible causes of delayed menstruation and when menstrual cycle irregularities require further investigation. He particularly addressed <strong>polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)<\/strong>, a common cause of menstrual cycle disorders, emphasising the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discussing painful menstruation, he stressed that <strong>severe menstrual pain that interferes with everyday activities should not be ignored<\/strong>. Such symptoms may warrant a gynecological examination to identify possible underlying conditions, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/treatments\/ginekologija\/endometrioza-2\/\">endometriosis<\/a><\/strong>, uterine fibroids, and polyps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HPV Infection, Preventive Examinations, and Reproductive Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Milojkovi\u0107 explained what a positive HPV test result means and why <strong>it does not, in itself, indicate a diagnosis of cervical cancer<\/strong>. He emphasised the importance of regular gynecological check-ups, Pap tests, and other diagnostic procedures that enable the timely detection of abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particular attention was given to preventive examinations, which play an important role even in women who experience no noticeable symptoms. The type and frequency of examinations are determined by age, medical history, and individual risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion also addressed difficulties conceiving. Dr. Jovanovac highlighted the importance of initiating fertility investigations at the appropriate time, particularly as parenthood is increasingly being postponed. He emphasised that <strong>infertility investigations should involve both partners<\/strong>, as fertility difficulties may be associated with either female or male reproductive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/about-us\/our-team\/marko-jovanovac\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dr-marko-jovanovac-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Lije\u010dnik u bijeloj kuti pokazuje olovkom detalje na anatomskom modelu zdjelice tijekom konzultacije s pacijenticom u ordinaciji.\" class=\"wp-image-9346\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reliable Information as the Foundation of Responsible Healthcare<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview with Index.hr once again highlighted the importance of professional medical advice and open communication between patients and their gynecologists.
