Types of gynecological diseases

It is said that women are great. Not only do they give birth to new life, but they also have to endure the pain of menstruation every month. So it is not an exaggeration to say so. There are many types of gynecological and obstetric diseases among women, which are all common diseases among girls. Some of them are even life-threatening. Therefore, girls must take good care of themselves and pay more attention to some issues in daily life. Let's take a look at this issue today.

1. Vaginal diseases

1. Symptoms of Trichomonas vaginitis: increased leucorrhea, milky white or yellow, sometimes purulent, often foamy and smelly, bloody leucorrhea in severe cases, urinary pain, frequent urination, hematuria

Hazards: It may be complicated by Trichomonas urethritis, cystitis, and pyelitis. Since Trichomonas can devour sperm, it may cause infertility and affect sexual life.

2. Fungal vaginitis

Symptoms: vulvar itching, vulvar and vaginal burning pain, increased leucorrhea with a bean curd-like appearance, sometimes accompanied by frequent urination, frequent urination, dysuria, and dyspareunia. During gynecological examination, white membrane-like substances can be seen on the inner side of the labia minora and the vaginal mucosa, which can be wiped off to reveal the red and swollen mucosal surface. In the acute stage, damaged erosion surfaces or superficial ulcers can be seen. Hazards: difficult to cure, easy to recur, causing premature birth, fetal infection and malformation, etc.

3. Symptoms of cervical erosion: caused by chronic cervicitis, with a large amount of leucorrhea, yellow pus-like or yellow color, distension of the waist and abdomen or vaginal itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, and pale complexion. According to the size of the erosion area, it can be divided into three types of hazards: mild, moderate and severe: it can cause vaginal adhesions, vaginal pyometra or uterine cavity pyometra.

4. Symptoms of non-specific vaginitis: a feeling of falling and burning in the vagina, accompanied by pelvic discomfort and general fatigue. Vaginal discharge increases and becomes purulent, serous, and has a foul odor. Because the secretions irritate the urethral opening, it can cause frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Hazards: Cause vaginal adhesions, vaginal pyometra or uterine pyometra, easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease, premature rupture of membranes and chorioamnionitis, etc.

5. Symptoms of senile vaginitis: increased leucorrhea, yellow color, watery, purulent and smelly in severe cases, sometimes bloody or accompanied by spotting, itching or burning sensation in the vulva, dryness and pain, distension in the lower abdomen, and when the urethra is affected, there will be frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Hazards: Cause vaginal adhesions, vaginal pyometra or uterine pyometra

6. Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis: increased leucorrhea, which is grayish white, thin and foamy. The vaginal mucosa is congested, with scattered bleeding spots, itchy and burning sensation in the vulva, and a foul odor in the vulva. Hazards: Can cause genital infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, perinephritis, dyspareunia, etc.

2. Uterine diseases

1. Endometritis Bacteria invade the endometrium and cause it to become inflamed, which is called endometritis. Postpartum infection and infected abortion are the most common causes of endometritis and are also the most serious types. Endometritis may occur due to intrauterine contraceptive device placement, radium needle, cervical dilation and scraping or cervical electrocautery, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids or endometrial cancer. Common bacteria that cause endometritis include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. Endometritis is divided into acute and chronic according to the rapidity of onset and severity of the disease.

2. Endometriosis Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the surface of the uterine cavity. If due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body, it can become endometriosis. Histologically, this ectopic endometrium not only has endometrial glands, but is also surrounded by endometrial stroma; its function changes significantly with the estrogen level, that is, it changes with the menstrual cycle, but is only partially affected by progesterone, which can produce a small amount of "menstruation" and cause various clinical phenomena.

3. Uterine hypertrophy The main clinical symptom of cervical hypertrophy is increased vaginal discharge. In addition, due to the proliferation of connective tissue and the spread of inflammation along the cervix or through the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, patients often complain of lumbar pain or a feeling of heaviness in the perineum, which are two of the more prominent symptoms of cervical hypertrophy.

4. Uterine polyps Any mass that is attached to the inner wall of the uterine cavity by a thin pedicle can be clinically called a uterine polyp. Different treatments are used depending on the size, location, shape of the polyps and the age of the patient.

5. Uterine fibroids Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Most cases are asymptomatic, while a few may present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. It may cause pain if the pedicle is twisted or other conditions occur. Multiple uterine fibroids are common. The exact cause of this disease is unknown. Modern Western medicine uses sex hormones or surgery for treatment, and there is no other ideal treatment.

6. Uterine prolapse Uterine prolapse refers to a syndrome of reproductive and adjacent organ displacement in which the tissue supporting the uterus is damaged or weakened, causing the uterus to drop from its normal position along the vagina, below the level of the ischial spines of the external cervical opening, or even completely out of the vaginal opening. It is divided into three degrees according to the degree of prolapse. Patients with uterine prolapse usually suffer from back pain. In severe cases, it can also affect the bladder and rectum, causing frequent urination, incomplete urination or constipation.

According to the above statements, are girls shocked? There are so many types of gynecological diseases that we don’t know what to do. In fact, as long as we keep clean and pay more attention to diet, women can have a physical examination once a year. The chance of such a healthy life is very small, so girls should love themselves well. I hope the above statements can help everyone.
