It is the name of a disease in modern medicine, which refers to uterine bleeding caused by ovarian dysfunction, referred to as "functional uterine bleeding".

2. Vaginal cancer

Vaginal cancer is a rare vaginal malignancy that can be divided into two types: primary and secondary.

3. Vulvar cancer

Vulvar cancer is a malignant tumor of the vulva and is not uncommon.

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in ovarian tissue. Clinically, symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, menstrual disorders, and compression may occur.

5. Cervical cancer

Cancerous changes in the epithelial cells lining the cervical vagina or endocervical canal. From the tissue point of view, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and uterine cervix are the main ones.

6. Uterine cancer

It usually refers to uterine body cancer, that is, endometrial cancer. Symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding may appear in the early stages.

7. Hydatidiform mole

Blister-like fetal masses are caused by abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic cells of the placental villi after pregnancy, which causes the terminal villi to turn into blisters, and the connections between the blisters are shaped like a bunch of grapes.

8. Cervicitis

Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. It can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Chronic cervicitis is the most common type in clinical practice.

11. Adnexitis

It refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and are difficult to distinguish during diagnosis.

How to treat gynecological inflammation

1. Get timely treatment. Women with gynecological inflammation should receive timely treatment, which mainly includes drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment. Targeted treatment is carried out based on the examination results, pathogens, and drug sensitivity analysis.

2. Wear cotton underwear. Tight synthetic underwear will increase the temperature and humidity of the local vagina, giving mold an opportunity to take advantage. The comfortable cotton material can increase the ventilation of the lower body, which makes it less likely to breed bacteria.

3. Clean at appropriate times. You can choose some acidic gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. at the right time, which can kill the bacteria left by improper cleaning. It is recommended to use it 1-2 times a week. Frequent use is not good as it can easily disrupt the acid-base balance of the vagina.

4. Change your underwear frequently. You should change into clean underwear every day. Of course, washing your underwear is also important. It is recommended to wash them separately by hand, which not only washes them cleanly but also prevents cross-infection of various bacteria.

5. Use proper contraception. The estrogen in birth control pills can promote fungal invasion. If you have recurring fungal vaginitis, try not to use contraceptive drugs. Condoms are the safest and best method of contraception for women.

6. Appropriate abstinence. Patients in the acute inflammatory stage should avoid sexual intercourse to prevent further damage to the vagina, bleeding, or even worsening of the infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.
