Gynecological Health News

90% of common gynecological inflammation and endocrine disorders problems can be avoided without buying hundreds of private parts care kits or Internet celebrity gynecological health products. As long as you do these three things: "Don't wash the inside of the vagina at will, do a routine gynecological screening once a year, and clean and fully disinfect underwear separately." The remaining 10% of special problems can be dealt with according to the doctor's advice. There is no need to be overly anxious whenever you feel uncomfortable. 】

I have been in the gynecology clinic for 8 years, and I have seen too many girls who had nothing to do but caused problems on their own. I just received a 22-year-old college student last week. I saved up half a month's living expenses to buy an Internet celebrity private part shower gel. I rinsed it with the inside of my vagina every morning and night. After half a month of showering, I couldn't sit still due to itching. I came to check for fungal vaginitis. I cried when I came in. I thought I had some incurable internal disease. In fact, I stopped using the shower gel, opened a box of suppositories, and used it for a week and it was cured.

There are currently two different clinical opinions on private parts cleaning, and there is no absolute right or wrong: One group believes that as long as there is no discomfort in the vulva, it is enough to rinse the vulva with warm water every day, and there is no need to use additional care products.； The other group believes that if you feel the vulva is sticky and uncomfortable after menstruation or after having sex, it is okay to use a compliant private parts care solution with a pH value between 4.0-4.5 to only clean the vulva. You can choose according to your own use experience. The only red line is to never flush the inside of the vagina - the vagina itself has a self-cleaning flora balance. If you insist on flushing, you will wash away all the good bacteria that protect you. Harmful bacteria will take the opportunity to multiply, and it will be strange if it does not cause inflammation.

Oh, by the way, don’t think that you don’t need to have a gynecological examination if you don’t have sex. Last month, there was a 19-year-old girl whose menstruation had been irregular for half a year. She always felt that if she didn't have sex, she didn't need to see a gynecologist. She fainted at the end and was sent to her, where she was found to have polycystic ovary syndrome with severe anemia. The current consensus in the industry is that even if you have no sexual life, as long as you have delayed menstruation for more than 10 days, inexplicable pain in the lower abdomen for more than 3 days, or vulvar itching and odor, you can go to the gynecology department for treatment. If you make it clear to the doctor in advance that you have no sexual life, you can do anal ultrasound and vulvar secretion examination, which will not damage the hymen at all. Girls who are sexually active, don’t be lazy. Spend more than 200 yuan a year for a routine gynecological examination + leucorrhea routine + TCT. Adding an HPV screening only costs more than 500 yuan. It can clearly screen out cervical pre-cancerous lesions and common inflammation. If detected early, you don’t even need to have surgery, and it can be dealt with in an outpatient clinic. It is much more cost-effective than spending thousands of yuan every year on skin care products.

Let’s talk about underwear. I’ve seen too many 996 office workers save three or four days of underwear and throw it into the washing machine with socks and coats. The washing machine itself is always damp, and the hidden mold is stuck to the underwear. It would be strange if you don’t get inflammation after wearing it. There are two different opinions on the disinfection of underwear: For those in dry northern areas, as long as they expose the cleaned underwear to the sun for more than 4 hours, it is enough to kill common pathogenic bacteria, and there is no need to buy additional disinfection equipment. ； In places like the south where there is no sunshine during the rainy season, it is also useful to buy a compliant ultraviolet underwear sterilizer, which does not count the IQ tax. The only thing to remind is that if you wear your underwear until it turns yellow and deforms, throw it away as soon as possible. Don’t leave it for more than 3 months at most. Don’t be reluctant to spend that little money. If you really have an infection, you can spend enough to see a doctor to buy a drawer of underwear.

Many girls are frightened when they see an increase in leucorrhea, and they search everywhere to see if they have inflammation. In fact, it is a normal physiological reaction for the leucorrhea to become more abundant, transparent, and stringy during ovulation and a week before menstruation. As long as there is no itching, pain, fishy smell, or an abnormal state of tofu-like or yellow-green, there is no need to take random medicines and antibiotics. Many people use medicines by themselves to disorder the flora, but they can't get better over and over again.

Oh, by the way, recently a lot of people asked me whether health products such as cranberry capsules and soy isoflavones are useful. There is currently no clear clinical evidence-based evidence to prove that they can prevent gynecological diseases. If you really want to prevent urinary tract infections, it is better to drink two liters of water a day and don’t sit for too long and hold your urine. To regulate endocrine, it is better to stay up less late. It is worse than any health product. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the gynecology department of a regular tertiary-level hospital as soon as possible. Don't frighten yourself by blindly searching Baidu, and don't go to a private gynecology hospital that will let you do physical therapy for thousands of dollars right away, spending money in vain and suffering.
