Women's gynecological health knowledge

In recent years, gynecological diseases have become more common among women, mainly because women do not pay attention to vaginal hygiene and have too frequent sexual intercourse. Therefore, women should pay attention to vaginal cleaning in daily life, and women who have sexual intercourse should take safety measures. Female friends should know some gynecological health knowledge, which is very helpful for preventing gynecological diseases. You can learn about it.

1. Is vaginal cleaning necessary?

It is necessary to clean the vulva every day, especially during menstruation. Use warm water to clean the vulva properly to prevent external pathogens from entering the vagina. Do not flush the vagina unless necessary. There is no need to use gynecological wash to maintain the natural defense line of the female reproductive tract and not destroy the acid-base balance in the vagina. You will need your own special washing basin and special towels. Cleaning utensils should be washed before use, and towels should be dried in the sun or in a ventilated place after use. It is best to expose them to the sun to facilitate sterilization and disinfection.

2. Many white-collar workers say that stress can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. Is this true? How can we prevent pelvic inflammatory disease?

High stress will not directly lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, but high stress, lack of exercise, and sitting for long periods of time can cause poor blood return to the pelvis and chronic pelvic congestion. Combined with weak resistance and bacterial infection, this can lead to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, you should pay attention to the following aspects

(1) Pay attention to sexual life and menstrual hygiene, and keep the perineum clean and dry;

(2) After an abortion or an IUD insertion or removal, sexual intercourse, swimming, bathing in a tub, or taking a sauna must be avoided, because the body's resistance is reduced at this time, and pathogens can easily take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause infection;

(3) Proper contraception and minimize the trauma of artificial abortion;

(4) Strengthen exercise, improve physical fitness, combine work and rest, and enhance the body's resistance to disease.

3. Will frequent sex cause damage to the vagina?

Too frequent sexual intercourse can easily cause the vagina to be in a state of congestion for a long time, which can easily cause damage to the vaginal mucosa and reduce the resistance of the vagina, thereby causing gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis and cervicitis. Therefore, sexual intercourse should not be too frequent.

4. Will having sex for too long at a time harm a woman's body? How long is the appropriate time?

Prolonged single sexual intercourse will cause prolonged pelvic congestion, making it easy for bacteria to invade, thus causing gynecological inflammation. Generally, it is advisable that single sexual intercourse should not exceed 30 minutes.

5. Does using vaginal lubricants have any side effects on the vagina?

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to use vaginal lubricants. They can be used in special circumstances when vaginal secretions are less. Vaginal lubricants include pure lubricants, contraction lubricants, silicone lubricants, etc., which generally have no side effects.

6. Some people say that semen can moisturize the vagina and is good for the female body. Is this true?

Although there has not yet been comprehensive and authoritative confirmation that semen can promote women's health, many experts and scholars have pointed out after research that semen still has certain health benefits for women. Such as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.

In addition, it may have a positive effect on the hormonal balance in women, which can reduce the risk of cancer. In addition, semen can promote the secretion of female sex hormones, making the breasts fuller, the buttocks plumper, and the skin tender; it can moisturize the vagina, improve the quality of sex life, enhance sexual psychological satisfaction, and is beneficial to the health care role of sex.

7. What is HPV infection? Under what circumstances should we be alert?

HPV is the human papillomavirus. After infection, it can cause epithelial hyperplasia and form papillary lesions called genital warts. HPV infection of the reproductive tract is a long process and can remain latent in cells for several years. Once the body's immunity is reduced, the latent virus can become active again.

HPV is widely present in nature. Some people are susceptible to infection with this virus, while others are not. Women who have sexual activity too early, have multiple sexual partners, use birth control pills too early or for a long time, smoke and drink, etc. should be alert to the possibility of HPV infection.
