In recent years, with the gradual deterioration of the human living environment, the pace of life has accelerated and the pressure of survival has increased, plus women are prone to various reproductive tract diseases due to their special physiological structure. Data show that more than 90% of adult women have suffered from various gynecological diseases, and the incidence of breast cancer and cervical cancer has been increasing year by year in recent years, becoming two major killers threatening women’s health. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are still the most effective means to prevent and treat various diseases. However, in clinical practice, we regret to find that many women, due to indifferent health awareness and lack of health care knowledge, cannot seek medical treatment in time, and eventually small diseases become big diseases and lose the best time for treatment, even to the loss of precious life ……. A, common sense to go to the gynecological clinic, because of fear of embarrassment often overwhelmed, both to affect the diagnosis, but also not conducive to doctor-patient communication. The latest article in the American magazine “Women’s Best Friend” published “8 Things Obstetricians and Gynecologists Want to Tell Women”, which provides a good help for everyone. You don’t have to be shy about getting a gynecologic exam. An OB/GYN exam is no different from any other part of the body, and women should not be shy about it. You should have no worries about getting examined, as long as there is no pain or discomfort. Doctors do not judge patients’ private lives. When an OB/GYN asks a patient how many sexual partners she has, she is not making any judgments about the patient’s private life. If there are multiple sexual partners, then it is best to receive an annual pap smear (usually once every three years) and a chlamydia test. Cervical smears should be checked regularly. Cervical smears are crucial to the diagnosis of diseases such as cervical cancer. The question is exactly how often the test should be done. Therefore, you should tell your doctor truthful information about your body, personal medical history and lifestyle. The details will depend on the results of the most recent Pap smear and personal medical history, and even if the test does not need to be checked once a year, it does not mean that you can skip the annual check-up. Contraceptives all have side effects. There is no contraceptive that does not have side effects. But for different women, one type of birth control may work best. Generally, it takes at least 3 months of trial before you get used to it and know how it works. Also, although the chance of conception decreases with age, it is possible until menopause. It is absolutely safe for women over the age of 40 to use condoms for contraception. Do not choose a cesarean section lightly. Do not choose a cesarean section lightly, except in special circumstances such as a breech delivery. Choosing a C-section for your first child puts you at a higher risk of complications in subsequent births. Some women choose to have a C-section because they are afraid of body dysmorphia. Low libido is rarely a hormonal problem. Most poor libido in women is closely related to lifestyle and emotional factors. Feeling physically and emotionally exhausted after having a baby; problems in the couple’s relationship; feeling that the husband is not paying enough attention to her, etc. can hurt a woman’s sexual interest. In fact, many menopausal women have a normal sex drive and a more satisfying sex life. If you feel that low libido affects the relationship, then you may wish to receive relevant treatment. Don’t stress about changes in your menstrual date. Even the healthiest women may experience menstrual changes. When your doctor asks, “Is your period normal?” is considered normal unless your period becomes unpredictable. Some women misinterpret “normal” to mean “having a period on a specific day every month.” If there is excessive blood flow, cramping, bloating and breast sensitivity during your period, pain medication may be appropriate. If there is no relief, then it is best to see your doctor. Watch for abnormal vaginal discharge. Two common non-sexually transmitted diseases in women are mycobacterial infections and bacterial vaginitis. However, the symptoms and treatment of both conditions are very different. Mycobacterial infections cause itching and a burning sensation. The vaginal discharge appears thicker and watery and cheese-like. Bacterial vaginitis, on the other hand, is caused by an imbalance in the body’s natural flora and the discharge has a fishy smell and is gray or yellow in color. It is important to seek medical attention at the first onset or when treatment is ineffective. Many of you will buy drugs from the nearest clinic or pharmacy to treat yourself for various reasons, but often you will not get effective treatment or you will easily “relapse”. The reason for this is that there are different types of vaginitis, with different pathogenic bacteria, and different treatment methods. 2. Abnormal vaginal bleeding, including heavy bleeding during menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding and contact bleeding after sex, can be caused by uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, ectopic pregnancy (commonly known as ectopic pregnancy), menstrual disorders, inflammation of the cervix or vagina, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, etc. We hope that women with similar conditions must go to a regular hospital in time to avoid serious consequences. 3. Abnormal abdominal distension or lump is also a common symptom of most gynecological tumors, such as uterine fibroids and ovarian tumors. Many women visit surgery or gastroenterology department because of abdominal lumps, bloating and anorexia, but in fact, they are suffering from gynecological tumors. Especially for ovarian tumors, once diagnosed, surgery should be considered, not to have the luxury of eliminating them with drugs. The topic of abortion Our gynecology department performs about 3,000 abortions each year, it is necessary to remind the majority of young women, contraception is the best policy, abortion is the remedy for unplanned pregnancy, painless abortion also has risks, do not gamble with youth tomorrow. Abortion, for a long time in the past, became a nightmare that some young women feared, but all this began to dissipate with the birth of “painless abortion” technology. The so-called painless abortion is the addition of anesthesia to the ordinary abortion, so that the patient does not feel pain. Along with
“Painless abortion”
The overwhelming propaganda of advertisements such as “uterus-preserving surgery” and “microtube abortion” has led the majority of patients into a misunderstanding. Generally speaking, there are two methods of artificial termination of pregnancy, one is non-surgical measures to terminate pregnancy, also known as medical abortion; one is the use of surgical methods to terminate pregnancy, which is commonly understood as abortion.
In fact, any form of abortion is a surgical procedure that involves the use of instruments to enter the uterine cavity, which can cause damage to the body, especially to the female uterus, and cannot be ignored. Therefore, many renowned obstetricians and gynecologists strongly urge that abortion is by no means a minor surgery, and that painless abortion requires more from hospitals and doctors, and should be performed in larger hospitals with rescue anesthesia accidents.
