If a woman doesn't treat this minor illness, she will suffer from unbearable pain in the future

Statistics show that most office workers think that taking time off to see a doctor is a luxury and most of them delay seeking medical treatment, causing minor illnesses to develop into major ones.

Most gynecological diseases cannot be delayed

Patients with uterine fibroids often delay seeing a doctor. Since uterine fibroids only cause symptoms such as increased menstrual flow when they are not too large, they are easily ignored by patients or the treatment time is delayed. Even if some people are vigilant, they may ignore these abnormal manifestations due to inconvenient medical treatment time and busy work. Six months later, serious consequences such as anemia, abdominal pain and even hemorrhagic shock may occur.

In addition, vaginitis is also a very common gynecological disease that is easily delayed in treatment. Increased vaginal discharge and yellowish color are common symptoms of vaginitis. Many women think that it does not have much impact on their lives and that it is troublesome to seek medical treatment, so they put it off until it is too late to regret when the disease is too advanced. If vaginitis is not treated for 3-5 years, it may develop into infertility. Because severe vaginitis may ascend to infect the endometrium and fallopian tubes, leading to fallopian tube blockage and infertility.

Dysmenorrhea, especially secondary progressive dysmenorrhea, is mostly caused by diseases such as adenomyosis and endometriosis, and requires different treatment methods according to the severity of the disease. If you experience lower abdominal distension, lumbar pain, and increased vaginal discharge during your menstrual period, it is most likely pelvic inflammation and you need to receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on the severity of the condition. Sudden lower abdominal pain should alert you to ovarian cyst pedicle torsion and corpus luteum rupture, as delaying the treatment may be life-threatening.

These bad habits cause gynecological diseases

1. Blind dieting

There is a gynecological disease called polycystic ovary syndrome, which manifests itself as obesity, amenorrhea, infertility, etc. Obese women also have a significantly increased risk of endometrial cancer. In addition, excessive dieting due to fear of gaining weight can also affect menstruation, and even lead to scanty menstruation or amenorrhea.

2. Excessive cleaning

The female reproductive system has a natural barrier and self-cleaning function, and has innate disease prevention and resistance capabilities. For example, the vagina is a weakly acidic environment, and a large number of lactobacilli act as "health guards" to resist the invasion of foreign pathogens. Blindly using cleaning solution to flush the vagina will disrupt the balance of vaginal flora, causing candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, etc., and even ascending infection leading to endometritis, salpingitis, and pelvic peritonitis.

3. Indulgent sexual behavior

There is a consensus in the medical community on the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. Sexual contact is the main route of transmission, and multiple sexual partners undoubtedly greatly increase the chance of HPV infection, thereby increasing the incidence of cervical cancer. If you start sexual life too early, you are more likely to get sick due to poor disease resistance because the cervical epithelium is not yet fully developed. Survey data show that those who have multiple extramarital sexual partners have a 2 to 3 times higher risk of cervical cancer than those who have a single fixed sexual partner, and the incidence of cervical lesions is many times higher for those whose first sexual intercourse occurs before the age of 18.
