Gynecological health education and promotional materials

90% of common gynecological diseases can be prevented in advance through daily healthy habits. There is no need to be shy about talking about gynecological problems and procrastinate, and there is no need to be overly anxious and blindly follow Internet celebrity care methods. If you feel uncomfortable, just go to a regular medical institution first.

Last week, I just received two typical patients in my clinic: a 21-year-old college student with yellow vaginal discharge and a bit itchy. He was too embarrassed to go to the hospital, so he bought "Private Parts Care Gel" by watching short videos and stuffed it for a week. However, he was so itchy that he couldn't sleep. He came to check for serious vaginal flora disorder.； There is also a 49-year-old aunt who suffered from sudden bleeding two years after menopause. I heard the old sisters said that this is a good thing for the "second spring". It took more than three months to come. She is already in the middle stage of endometrial cancer. It is a pity.

There is a lot of quarrel about gynecological care on the Internet right now. One group says that you should wash it thoroughly with lotion every day, while the other group says that your private parts should not be touched. In fact, our national obstetrics and gynecology guidelines clearly recommend that for daily care, just flushing the vulva with warm water is enough. The vagina has its own microecological balance, and random flushing and plugging will destroy the flora. But if you have been diagnosed with vaginitis, it is okay to use the corresponding medicinal lotion or suppository as directed by your doctor. Just don’t blindly buy Internet celebrity products with makeup brands. Oh, by the way, don’t always wear those tight fitness pants or lace thongs. There was a patient who wore tight jeans and lace underwear every day and suffered from fungal vaginitis repeatedly. After switching to pure cotton and loose pants, it never happened again. Do you think it was unfair?

Many girls are devastated when they find out they are HPV positive and think they are going to get cervical cancer. They are even tricked by private hospitals into doing "cervical detoxification" and "cervical repair", which cost tens of thousands. In fact, the current consensus in the academic community is that 80%-90% of HPV infections are transient. If the immunity is normal, they will clear themselves in 1-2 years. Only persistent high-risk HPV infections are likely to develop into cervical cancer. Regular TCT+HPV combined screening is more important than anything else. Some people have said that taking the nine-valent HPV vaccine at the age of 26 is useless. This is really a misunderstanding. Even if you are 30 or even 40 years old, as long as you are within the vaccination age range and have not been infected with HPV subtypes, the vaccine can have a protective effect. However, the cost-effectiveness may be slightly lower than taking it before the age of 26. Anyone who has the conditions can take it.

Some people always say that "menstruation is for detoxification". If the amount is small, the toxins cannot be excreted, so you need to drink brown sugar water, take motherwort, and various supplements. To be honest, menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by the periodic shedding of the endometrium. It has no "detoxification" effect at all. The normal menstrual volume is 20-80ml, which is about the amount of 4 to 16 mineral water bottle caps. As long as it is within this range, there is no problem. If it is less than this, check the hormones and do a B-ultrasound to find out the cause. Don't make up for it blindly. I have seen many people who have excessive menstrual flow and anemia.

There are now two extreme opinions about the choice of delivery method: one says that natural delivery is better and has a faster recovery time for both children and adults; the other says that natural delivery will cause the pelvic floor to relax and affect the life of the couple, so it is better to have a caesarean section directly. In fact, pregnancy itself will cause compression damage to the pelvic floor muscles. Regardless of whether it is vaginal or cesarean, problems such as urinary leakage and prolapse may occur. Doing a pelvic floor assessment on time 42 days after delivery and doing rehabilitation when necessary is the core of avoiding problems. There is no need to worry about the method of delivery because of this. It is most appropriate to listen to the doctor's advice.

There is also the most common prejudice: many people think that having gynecological inflammation is a sign of improper private life. This is not true. Decreased immunity, staying up late, diabetes, even eating too many sweets recently, dirty swimming pool water, and taking antibiotics for a long time may all induce vaginitis. This is a very common inflammation, no different from a cold or fever. Don’t judge yourself or use this to judge others.

In fact, gynecological health is really not that mysterious. It is enough to have a routine gynecological examination (including gynecological ultrasound, cervical screening, and leucorrhea routine) once a year, stay up late and use private products less blindly, go to a regular hospital if you feel uncomfortable, and don't scare yourself by searching blindly.
