Is women’s health management real?

Women's health management that is formal and matches the actual situation of the individual is of course real. Those "pseudo health management" that use concepts to sell high-priced products and serve only a thousand people are scams that reap IQ taxes.

When I was helping with follow-up visits at the community gynecology department, I came across two particularly contrasting examples. 32-year-old Sister Zhang had polycystic disease and insulin resistance. She had irregular menstruation for three or four years and gained more than 30 kilograms in weight. She had no news of pregnancy preparations for two years. She had previously bought "female conditioning kits" online and "ovarian care packages" from beauty salons. She spent a little more than 20,000 to no avail. Later, she transferred to us for formal health management, and first gave her a complete hormone, Her liver and kidney function and body fat were tested, and she was asked about her eating and exercise habits. Instead of prescribing any random health products, she just decided on an exercise plan of 150 minutes of brisk walking + strength training every week, switched to a low-GI diet, and followed the doctor's advice to eat dimethyl A to adjust her metabolism. It only took three months for her hormone levels to return to the normal range, and she got pregnant naturally within half a year. The baby is now half a year old.

It’s no wonder that some people think that women’s health management is a scam. There are too many people on the market who are trying to sell women’s health. Last month, I picked up a 21-year-old girl with primary dysmenorrhea. I was told by people at the beauty salon to do "warm palace management". She rubbed her belly with essential oils and applied unknown fever medicine packs. She also spent more than 3,000 to buy their "private care and conditioning pills". As a result, The dysmenorrhea was not cured. I developed a large red rash due to allergies at the place where the medicine was applied on my stomach. Taking the "conditioning pill" also disrupted my hormone levels. My normally regular menstruation was irregular for two months. I also developed inflammation of my private parts. It took me almost a month to go to the hospital to recover.

Nowadays, it is normal for people to have polarized opinions on this matter. Those who have tasted the benefits will feel that it has moved the focus of disease prevention too far. There is no need to wait for a minor illness to become a serious illness before running to the hospital. Especially for chronic problems such as polycystic disease, breast nodules, and menopausal syndrome, which are highly prevalent in women, the effect of early intervention is much better than treatment after the onset of the disease.； People who have been through the trap think it is all a gimmick to sell products. This kind of suspicion is completely valid. After all, the core purpose of many health management organizations is not to help you adjust your body, but to treat you as a walking cash machine.

In fact, it’s not that complicated to distinguish between true and false. You just have to look at two points: First, whether the person who manages you has professional qualifications. Whether he is a health manager or a clinician, he must at least have a nationally recognized certificate. He is not a beautician who just trained for half a month and started working.； The second is whether they have done a comprehensive assessment for you before coming up with the plan. They don't ask about your medical history or do basic examinations. They just tell you that you have a "cold palace" and "lots of toxins" and want you to buy the product. Don't think it must be a scam.

To put it bluntly, women's health management is not a mysterious thing at all. It is the same as regular maintenance of your car. It can be as small as recording your menstrual cycle at home and feeling whether there are any nodules in your breasts when taking a bath. It can be as big as conditioning before pregnancy, hormonal intervention during menopause, and postpartum urination. Repair of base muscles, even lumbar muscle strain caused by long-term sitting, and adjustment for anemia common among office workers, all fall into the category of health management. If you pay more attention to physical changes, and do two cancer screenings on time every year, you are actually doing the most cost-effective health management for yourself.
