These three points are key to women’s adolescent health care!

Adolescence is the golden period of female development. During this period, girls' physical development is most obvious, mainly reflected in the menarche, breast development, body shape changes, etc. Not only do their physiology change, but their psychology is also different from before. In this critical period, how can we take good care of our bodies and take care of ourselves? The health editor will look at the three key points of health care for adolescent girls with everyone.

1. Take the initiative to learn certain physiological and hygiene knowledge. Girls in adolescence should take the initiative to understand the period when the body undergoes the greatest changes. They should understand the anatomy, physiology, pathology and other necessary health knowledge of the reproductive organs, the characteristics of the sexual organs and the health knowledge to protect their normal functions. Be able to recognize that menstruation is a physiological phenomenon and eliminate unnecessary fear of menstruation. It can also detect abnormal phenomena in development. For example, if a woman is over 17 years old and has not yet had her first period, she should be checked promptly for gynecological diseases so that she can get treatment as soon as possible. This ensures the normal organ, reproductive and physiological development of adolescent females.

2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. The structure of women's external genitalia is relatively complex, with many wrinkles on the skin and mucous membranes, making them extremely susceptible to contamination. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the vulva clean and develop the habit of washing the "lower body" regularly. Use clean warm water to clean the vulva, and do not use cold or overheated water; the utensils (towels, basins) should be dedicated and not mixed with foot washing utensils; the order of washing the vulva is inside first, then outside, from front to back, and the movements should be gentle and careful. In addition, wipe from front to back after defecation to avoid bringing feces into the vagina and urethra and causing contamination. And you should change your underwear frequently, especially underwear and menstrual products that are contaminated by secretions.

3. Pay attention to breast health. When breasts begin to develop during puberty, do not wear a bra too early. You can start wearing a bra after the breasts are fully developed, but the tightness should be appropriate. Do not bind your chest too tightly because of shyness. During the development of breasts, slight swelling, pain or itching may sometimes occur. Do not pinch or scratch them with your hands. Adolescent girls should realize that breast development during this period is a normal physiological phenomenon and a sign of fitness. They should take extra care to protect their breasts to keep them plump and healthy.

There are many things that adolescent girls need to pay attention to. The most important thing is that they need to rationally realize that this is a normal phenomenon. Don't just feel shy and embarrassed, but take it seriously. In addition, adolescent girls should pay more attention to dietary nutrition and avoid excessive weight loss for the sake of beauty.

Girls must take good care of their physical health during adolescence, because they are in the peak period of growth and development. Ignoring or using improper health care methods will have a great impact on physical and mental health. At the same time, they should make their personalities more cheerful, pay attention to rest, spend time on studying hard, and safely pass through the difficult-to-adapt period of adolescence.
