Bad habits that women should avoid in their private parts

　　Symptom 1: Vaginal fungal infection

　　common sense reserve:

　　The main symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include increased white discharge, itching, redness, or odor in the vagina. When the above symptoms appear in the body, if you are sure that it is caused by a fungal infection, you can simply apply topical anti-inflammatory ointment to the affected area to cure it. This type of ointment is available over-the-counter at any drug store. But if you have more than three infections per year, it's best to Hospital Find out what's causing the disease.

　　Pathogenic mistake 1: sweets

　　Candy and carbonated drinks not only cause tooth decay but also increase the rate at which mold can multiply in the human body. The more sugar there is in the blood, the easier it is to encourage mold and cause local infection. A study of people with recurrent mold infections showed that most patients had significantly more sugar in their urine than healthy The average human blood sugar level. clinical Statistics also show that 90% of female Patients rarely experience recurrence of vaginal fungal infections within a year after reducing their daily sugar intake.

　　Precautions:

　　Although mold infections are medically proven to be related to sugar intake, there is no need to completely eliminate sugary foods from your diet. You can still enjoy sweet and tempting fruits, snacks, and sodas as long as you don't overdo it.

　　Pathogenic mistake 2: Oral contraceptive pills

　　Women who take estrogen-containing oral contraceptives are nearly twice as likely to develop a fungal infection as other women. Because the excess estrogen provided by the pills will change the acid-base environment in the vagina, and this changed environment is exactly the most suitable for the reproduction of mold.

　　Precautions:

　　Try to choose oral contraceptives with lower estrogen content. Alternatively, you can choose contraceptive pills that do not contain estrogen at all, but these pills are significantly less effective at preventing pregnancy than oral contraceptive pills that contain estrogen, especially if you forget to take them at the same time every day.

　　Pathogenic mistake 3: Antibiotics

　　Antibiotics are one of the most puzzling of the many possible causes of mold infections—antibiotics are designed to kill germs, so how can they cause mold to grow? Just believe in science. Yes, while antibiotics eliminate harmful bacteria in the body, they will also kill many beneficial bacteria that can control the growth of mold, leading to the "flooding" of mold. The side effects are especially noticeable when you take powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics.

　　Precautions:

　　Don't be here cold Antibiotics were taken rashly in the early stages. Even if it is really necessary, it should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If your doctor thinks a mild antibiotic is enough to treat your condition, it's best not to take a stronger antibiotic. Some experts recommend taking some lactobacilli tablets during antibiotic treatment, because studies have shown that acidophilic lactobacilli can effectively control the growth of mold and maintain a healthy acid-base balance in the body.

　　Symptom 2: Cystitis

　　Common sense reserve:

　　Frequent urination, burning or tingling sensation in the lower body when urinating are the most obvious symptoms of cystitis. In addition to symptom diagnosis, doctors can also make judgments based on urine test results. After diagnosis, most symptoms usually disappear after taking antibiotics for three days.

　　Pathogenic mistake 1: Sexual life

　　Gynecology Doctors generally believe that because a large number of bacteria are spread around the vagina during sexual intercourse, no matter what position is used, sexual life will greatly increase the risk of cystitis in women. Among them, the traditional position is the most detrimental to women's health, because in this case, the attachment to the male Bacteria on the penis and groin are most likely to come into contact with a woman's urethra.

　　Precautions:

　　You might as well try a safer position during sex, that is, the man supports his weight with his elbow joint so that his groin does not have to squeeze the female urethra.

　　After sex, drink as much water as possible to help remove potentially disease-causing bacteria through your urine. Before starting sexual intercourse, wash the vagina and anus with warm water. Men should also wash the penis to reduce the possibility of cross-infection.

　　Pathogenic mistake 2: sexy underwear

　　Due to their low-waisted and slender structural design, sexy underwear can easily become dislocated during exercise, which can inevitably introduce bacteria near the rectum into the urethra.

　　Precautions:

　　If you have a special liking for sexy underwear, you might as well choose a style with wider and flatter underwear, which is less likely to be out of place and deformed. In addition, it is best to choose underwear with a cotton backing to maintain good breathability.

　　Symptom 3: Bacterial Vaginitis

　　Common sense reserve:

　　Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases. If not treated in time, it can lead to miscarriage or premature birth, which is extremely dangerous. Because the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are very similar to the clinical manifestations of cervical cancer caused by papillomavirus (HPV). Once similar symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. A gynecologist can tell the difference between bacterial vaginosis and cervical cancer with a cervical smear.

　　Pathogenic mistake 1: Smoking

　　There is good scientific evidence that women who smoke are at a much higher risk of developing bacterial vaginosis than women who do not smoke. The chemical components contained in cigarettes can reduce the number of lactic acid bacteria that have a balancing protective effect in a woman's vagina, giving the bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis the opportunity to multiply and cause infection.

　　Precautions:

　　The most complete solution is to quit smoking.

　　Pathogenic mistake 2: intrauterine device

　　The risk of having an IUD inserted is that large amounts of bacteria may enter the uterus through the capillaries surrounding the IUD, changing the bacterial balance in the uterus and vagina, ultimately leading to bacterial vaginosis. Prevention: About one-third of patients with bacterial vaginosis who have an IUD inserted have a recurrence within 6 months of recovery. If this happens, your doctor may prescribe antifungal medications or recommend another form of birth control.

　　Pathogenic mistake 3: Improper cleaning methods

　　Researchers have found that if daily cleaning methods are not chosen properly, it may lead to a significant reduction in the lactic acid bacteria that maintain the balance of the uterus and vaginal environment. Not only does it fail to promote health, but it increases the incidence of gynecological diseases, especially bacterial vaginosis.

　　Precautions:

　　Don't wash your vagina too frequently. It is normal for women to have a small amount of secretions from their lower body, and these secretions are not as dirty as we think. It is these secretions that maintain the pH balance in the vagina. If you are worried about the smell of your lower body, you can choose cotton underwear with strong water absorption and good breathability, and change it frequently to keep your lower body dry.
