Reproductive Health and Happiness School Answers

There has never been a universal standard answer to reproductive health and happiness. It is a set of dynamic and personalized plans that adapt to individual physiological characteristics, adapt to the mode of intimate relationship, and comply with public order, good customs and medical standards. All "standard" conclusions that are divorced from individual circumstances are unreliable.

At an offline get out of class last month, a post-95s girl with a high ponytail held up her mobile phone with the screen on. On the screen was a "Women's Health Comparison Chart" from a popular science account. She frowned and said that she had been comparing it for a long time, but neither her aunt's cycle nor the frequency of intercourse were up to standard. The more she looked at it, the more she felt sick. Damn, don’t think this is an exception. We reviewed more than 1,200 student questionnaires received in the past three years and found that 87% of the people who came to class in the first place felt that they “did not meet online standards.”

From the clinical standards of Western medicine, the baseline of reproductive health is actually very clear: there are no organic diseases, hormone levels are within the reference range corresponding to age, and there are no pathogenic microbial infections. This is enough to determine that the patient is healthy at the physiological level. There used to be a student who always felt that he had "backache, weakness, qi and blood deficiency", and even after taking folk remedies to replenish the kidneys for half a year, the symptoms did not improve. He went to the hospital to check six sex hormones and thyroid function, and found out that it was hypothyroidism caused by staying up late to catch up on projects. After taking the symptomatic medicine for two weeks, the symptoms disappeared. This is why we always recommend that everyone do a routine physical examination before talking about conditioning. Physiological indicators are the basis for understanding. Don’t just label yourself as “physically weak” or “kidney weak”.

But that doesn’t mean everything is fine if the indicators are normal. Many people still feel uncomfortable even though they have a completely normal report. At this time, the perspectives of traditional medicine and psychology can be complementary. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that reproductive health is closely related to qi, blood, and emotions. Many people suffer from bloating during menstruation and pain in the chest and hypochondrium. No organic problems can be found. Drinking a prescription for soothing the liver and relieving stagnation for two weeks can alleviate a lot of the problems. ； Not to mention that the field of psychology has long proven that emotional stress and the quality of intimate relationships will directly affect the feelings of the reproductive system. There was a 32-year-old student who worked as an Internet operator. During the 618 promotion, she and her husband had a cold war for half a month over picking up the child. I felt itching in my private parts, so I went to the hospital twice to check for leucorrhea and HPV, and the results were all negative. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me. Later, I took two emotional counseling classes and went back to talk to my husband about it. On the third day, he sent us a message saying that the discomfort was gone.

Let me tell you an interesting episode. Last time, a male student secretly came to class and said that he had checked a lot of information and felt that he was short of time. As a result, his wife accompanied him on the weekend to review the exam. She rolled her eyes on the spot and said, "I think it's pretty good. Why are you so anxious?" You see, many times the so-called "problem" is not a physical problem at all, but an anxiety caused by the unified standards of the outside world. The "how many times a week is considered harmonious" and "what length and color is normal" posted on the Internet are all pseudo-standards that ignore individual differences: three or four times a week is normal for a young couple in their early twenties, and once a week for a forty-year-old couple is completely fine as long as both parties are comfortable. The color of the private parts is determined by genetics and hormone levels, and has nothing to do with the frequency of sexual life. Don't be brainwashed by messy marketing rhetoric.

As for the question that everyone asks the most and is the most controversial, "Should private parts be treated for cosmetic surgery?", we will not give you a one-size-fits-all answer. Most gynecologists in public tertiary hospitals do not recommend unnecessary cosmetic procedures, especially those such as "powder rejuvenation" and "firming injections" promoted by institutions on the market. Many of them peel off the surface layer of cuticles or give unapproved injections, which can easily destroy the bacterial flora barrier in the private parts and induce inflammation. ； But if there are indeed pathological problems, such as enlarged labia and pain when walking, or postpartum pelvic floor muscle damage and leakage, then corrective surgery performed by the plastic surgery department or gynecology department of a regular hospital is a completely reasonable medical need. We have also contacted students who have experienced years of discomfort after correction, and their quality of life has been greatly improved. The core judgment criterion is never "whether others say it is good or not", but "whether you really need it and whether it was done in a regular medical institution."

In fact, after running this school for so long, what we want to convey most is never how many knowledge points we need you to memorize, but "your feelings are the highest standard." If you have nothing to do, you can observe your body patterns more, remember your cycle and secretion changes, and know when you are comfortable. This is more useful than memorizing a hundred standards on the Internet. After all, reproductive health, in the final analysis, is about making you comfortable, not about conforming to anyone’s expectations, right?
