Clothes that are not breathable can easily cause 3 kinds of gynecological diseases

Although Xiao Zhang, an office worker, didn't do any heavy work, he still suffered from back pain. At first she thought she caught a cold because she was wearing thin clothes, so she didn't take it seriously. Later, she felt really unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up, and found out that she had pelvic inflammatory disease. Gynecological experts say that in winter, the weather is changeable, cold, and there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, which disrupts the biological clock. This period is also the time when gynecological diseases worsen and become more prevalent, so you should be cautious in preventing them and actively treat them.

Gynecological inflammation causes low back pain

"Low back pain may be caused by gynecological diseases." Hu Xiaohua, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that low back pain can have many causes. If women of childbearing age experience low back pain, they should first check whether they have gynecological inflammation, because many types of gynecological inflammation can cause low back pain symptoms.

Common gynecological inflammations, such as cervicitis, after the cervix becomes inflamed, symptoms such as increased leucorrhea will appear, and the stimulation of inflammation will cause low back pain; abnormal position of the uterus, if the uterus is retroflexed, the ligaments supporting the uterus in the body are excessively pulled, causing some nerves to be compressed, causing low back pain; uterine prolapse, the uterus shifts downward along the vagina, and low back pain occurs due to the falling and traction of the pelvic support tissue; pelvic inflammatory disease, when the pelvic tissue is inflamed, the inflammatory stimulation can cause low back pain; pelvic tumors, suffering from tumors such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, ovarian cysts, etc., compressing the nerves or cancer cells infiltrating the pelvic connective tissue can cause low back pain; pregnant women, after pregnancy, as the fetus grows month by month, the ligaments gradually relax, and the expanded uterine cavity compresses the pelvic nerves and blood vessels, causing low back pain.

There are also reproductive factors. Excessive births, multiple miscarriages, or too frequent sexual intercourse can all cause kidney deficiency, which in turn can induce low back pain.

Three gynecological diseases are prone to occur in winter

Guan Shuhua, a gynecologist at the New Century Women's Hospital, said that due to the drastic changes in weather in winter and other reasons, women are more likely to suffer from vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis and other diseases.

Due to the anatomical structure of the vagina, a healthy woman has a natural defense against the invasion of pathogens and will not become inflamed. However, when the natural defense function of the vagina is damaged, especially in autumn and winter, pathogens can easily invade, causing vaginitis.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum. If not treated in time, it will often turn from acute pelvic inflammatory disease to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, leading to infertility. When ovarian function is impaired, menstrual disorders may occur, and when the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions, infertility may occur.

The cervix is ​​an important line of defense that prevents pathogens from entering the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The human body's resistance decreases in winter, making it easy to get this disease. There are two types of cervicitis: acute and chronic. Chronic cervicitis is more common and often manifests as cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is caused by the infiltration of inflammatory secretions, the shedding of the cervical squamous epithelium, and its replacement by the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal. If cervicitis is not detected in time, it will deteriorate into cervical cancer.

Prevention of gynecological inflammation is very important

Hu Xiaohua, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that vaginitis can be prevented by avoiding unclean sexual intercourse, paying attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, changing underwear frequently, not wearing tight, non-breathable underwear, and washing taken-off clothes with soapy water, exposing them to sunlight or soaking them in saturated salt water for disinfection. Trauma, repeated abortions, bacterial infection, inappropriate use of vaginal medications and other factors can irritate the cervix and cause cervical erosion. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to sexual hygiene, take timely and effective contraceptive measures, reduce the incidence of artificial abortion and induced labor, so as to reduce the chance of artificial trauma and bacterial infection; and have regular gynecological examinations to detect cervical inflammation in time and treat it in time.

Gynecologist Guan Shuhua said that pelvic inflammatory disease can be prevented through some daily conditioning in winter. If the patient has cold pain in the lower abdomen, fear of cold, and back pain, it is the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type, and he can be given warm foods such as ginger soup, brown sugar water, and longan meat. If the patient has yellow leucorrhea, a large amount, and thick texture, it is damp-heat syndrome, and he should avoid fried, greasy, and spicy foods.
