In fact, in daily life, some women’s bad habits can expose the body to bacterial infestation, which can easily cause infections and thus generate various gynecological diseases. Harmful habits 1: long-term use of pads. Many women think that the use of pads can avoid direct contact between the pubic area and underwear and help keep the pubic environment clean. This idea is very wrong, because the long-term use of pads, easy to make poor ventilation of the pubic area and cause infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use pads only for a short period of time when the menstruation will be clean or when the menstruation will arrive. Harmful habits 2: long time sedentary. Almost everyone knows that sedentary habits can lead to poor blood circulation, but more importantly, prolonged sedentary women have poor ventilation in the perineum, blood circulation is blocked, and infection is more likely to occur. Harmful habit 3: Blindly using vaginal lotions. Many women usually go to the pharmacy to buy vaginal lotion when they feel uncomfortable in the pubic area. In fact, frequent use of vaginal lotion can cause a lot of damage to the vaginal environment, which can lead to the aggravation of vaginitis. It is recommended that women should use the lotion only when they need it under the guidance of a doctor. Literacy and timely diagnosis of cervicitis Currently, women have a high prevalence of cervicitis, which is likely to develop into cervical disease if left untreated. Therefore, women should learn about cervicitis and seek timely medical attention. Symptoms The main symptom is increased leucorrhea, which can vary in color and amount depending on the pathogenic bacteria. The leucorrhea can be sticky or purulent, sometimes with blood or a small amount of blood, or there can be contact bleeding. In addition, the patient often has pain in the lower abdomen, and cramping pain or dysmenorrhea may occur in the pelvic area, which often worsens during menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse. Route of infection 1. Mechanical stimulation or injury infection. The occurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual life, natural or induced abortion, diagnostic scraping and childbirth can cause damage to the cervix and lead to inflammation; 2. Pathogenic infections. The most common are septic inflammation caused by Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. In addition, viruses, trichomonas, etc. can cause cervicitis; 3. Chemical stimulation infection. Douching the vagina with some kind of acidic or alkaline solution or putting suppositories into the vagina can cause cervicitis. Consequences Causes infertility. About 20-25% of patients with excessive vaginal discharge are caused by cervicitis. If the leucorrhea is sticky and purulent due to inflammation, it can be detrimental to the passage of sperm through the cervical canal, thus leading to infertility. Causes miscarriage. Cervicitis is also a cause of miscarriage because cervicitis causes tissue changes and decreased elasticity, which can make labor uneventful and thus lead to miscarriage. Affects the quality of sexual life. Severe cervicitis can affect the quality of sexual life and can cause women to feel pain and discomfort during sex, which can lead to rejection of sex. Induces cervical disease. According to statistics, the incidence of cervical disease is 10 times higher in women with cervicitis than in women without cervicitis. Long-term untreated, or untreated cervicitis is considered to be a factor in the development of cervical disease. Screening means A variety of devices can detect cervical disease Cervical disease is traditionally detected by cervical smear, which has been used clinically for more than 60 years. The leakage rate is about 15-40%. Next is the TCT technique, which can detect early disease-changing cells that have not yet undergone morphological changes, with a diagnostic rate of over 90%. Ultrasound examination also has a role to play.
