Misconceptions that help women avoid gynecological diseases

  Now many medical institutions in the name of free gynecological checkups, not to go to the hospital is okay, to the hospital is a large number of diseases, common cervical erosion, pelvic effusion, ovarian cysts, HPV infection, uterine fibroids, these diseases to many women friends brought panic, if immediately after the start of a variety of treatment, not only to spend money, and may not cause unnecessary harm to the body. “80% of women who go to the hospital for a physical examination will find gynecological diseases”, when I see such information, I think it must be our medicine has gone wrong.  This article is to help women to clear their doubts and avoid misconceptions about gynecological diseases: 1. Cervical erosion: This was once diagnosed as a disease by doctors in the past, but in recent years the medical profession has realized that cervical erosion is not a disease, but a normal physiological phenomenon, as women enter their reproductive years, with the rise of estrogen, the original epithelium located inside the cervical canal extends outward to the outside of the cervix The actual fact is that it’s not a disease, and almost everyone has it, so there’s no need to be afraid of a free medical checkup that reveals “celiac disease” at the root, only symptomatic cervicitis; for example, the phenomenon of increased yellowing of the leucorrhea. The only time you need to consider treatment is when you have symptoms of cervicitis; such as increased yellowing of the leucorrhea. The diagnosis of celiac disease has been eliminated from medical school textbooks since the 8th edition of the Obstetrics and Gynecology textbook in 2008, but there are still many doctors who have not updated their concepts and are still making the diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease. The LEEP knife to do the “celiac disease” treatment is to lay a hidden danger for the future of childbirth, the future of childbirth appear premature situation.  The actual pelvis is the lowest point inside the body, so it is common to find pelvic fluid through ultrasound, and usually there are no symptoms. Nowadays, many hospitals start to give intravenous antibiotics when pelvic fluid is found, which not only costs money but also causes disorders of the flora. If the amount of pelvic fluid is too much, it belongs to the nature of ascites to be investigated and requires some necessary examination in internal medicine.  3, ovarian cysts: body check on the ovaries found cysts is a very common phenomenon, but cysts are probably divided into physiological cysts and pathological cysts, in fertile women’s ovaries every month there will be follicles mature, and then ovulation, before ovulation, usually see the presence of cysts, such cysts generally do not need to do any treatment, observation is good.  For ovarian cysts found unintentionally during checkups, if you are not sure, you can usually observe them for 3 months to see if they disappear after 3 months, you don’t need to do any treatment. It is often seen that certain drugs in the advertisements claim to be able to treat ovarian cysts, but the reality is that there are many liars. If there is really a problem with pathological cysts, it is usually necessary to solve the surgery, while the physiological ones will disappear without treatment.  4.HPV infection: HPV test is a new screening method for cervical cancer. In fact, HPV infection is a viral infection that has always existed, but recent studies suggest that high-risk HPV infection is the culprit of cervical cancer, so there is a joint screening, which increases the sensitivity of cervical precancer diagnosis by combining HPV and cervical cytology scraping.  Unfortunately there is no treatment for HPV (this is not what Dr. Gong said, it is an international opinion), and HPV positivity is common in young women, and is only a cause for alarm if the infection persists for more than 2 years for one subtype. The current advice is to “treat the disease but not the virus”, because there is no cure for the virus.  Now the chaos seen in the country is a variety of HPV treatment is proliferating, many manufacturers claim that their drugs can treat HPV infection, but in fact seize the patient’s nervousness, if you go to do treatment, is actually excessive. There are also a lot of claims out there, such as HPV infection can not have sex, can not get pregnant, can not give birth naturally, are no scientific basis for the claim.  5, uterine fibroids: in the reproductive years of women, uterine fibroids is also the most common kind of gynecological tumor, it is a hormone-dependent disease, usually with the increase in age, the incidence is also increasing, but usually after menopause will shrink with the decline of estrogen. Therefore, for fibroids that are asymptomatic and unintentionally detected by ultrasound, surgical treatment is usually not necessary and regular checkups are sufficient.  Our statistics show that about 1/3 of women may eventually have fibroids before menopause, but most women with fibroids do not need surgical intervention to treat them.  The free ones are always the most expensive, so you need to be vigilant about the various free medical checkups, so you don’t suffer a big injury because of a little cheapness.
