Hello friends, today is Teresa on duty~
Welcome to the new issue of "Berry has the answer", from the pelvic floor muscle repair device to the silver ion gel, the girls' doubts about the "obstetrics and gynecology goodies", this issue we specially take out to talk about.
Are they "friends of women" or "IQ taxes"? Let's listen to what Dr. Weng Xiaoyi has to say.
In this issue you will see:
Is pelvic floor muscle repair instrument an IQ tax?
Using products after menopause, menstruation again?
Can silver ion gel cure yin dao inflammation?
Can Probiotic Products Improve Women's Private Health?
It is well known that pregnancy and childbirth can cause varying degrees of laxity of the pelvic floor in women, and in severe cases, urinary incontinence or prolapse of pelvic organs will occur. Therefore, doctors usually tell pregnant mothers to do lifting exercises during pregnancy and after childbirth, also known as Kegel exercises, which are designed to train the pelvic floor muscles and strengthen the support of the muscles.
However, many women's Kegel movements are not completely correct, and it is difficult to adhere to them for a long time, so it gives the "home base muscle repair instrument" an opportunity. Let's not say whether the "pelvic floor repair instrument" will step on the thunder, let's understand how the correct pelvic floor repair should be done.
Most hospitals perform a physical examination to assess the pelvic floor muscles after a 42-day postpartum follow-up. There are indeed some young mothers, the child is born with a low birth weight, the childbirth process is very smooth, the pelvic floor muscle strength is still good, such a group of people may only need to pay attention to the usual living habits, avoid weight bearing or long-term coughing These actions increase abdominal pressure, and usually do some Kegel exercises.

However, for women who have significant relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, or who do not use force to lift the anus, the hospital will recommend some related pelvic floor recovery treatment. The most commonly used method of electrostimulation biofeedback. Electrical stimulation is a yin channel probe placed into the private parts, through the electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerves, so that the pelvic floor muscles contract, play a passive exercise role.
In addition to passive exercise, sometimes under the guidance of a doctor, active muscle tightening and relaxation exercises are carried out, and at the same time equipped with electromyography biofeedback, with the help of feedback data, identify and judge whether the contraction is correct, so as to master the correct method of contraction and relaxation.
The treatment mode of the hospital will vary according to the individual's pelvic floor status, the treatment time is about twice a week, after clarifying the treatment plan and the correct method, the key is the usual adherence.
I think for women with poor self-discipline, the instrument can play an auxiliary role to a certain extent, helping us to persevere.
For the assessment results show that there is obvious pelvic floor muscle relaxation, it is best to go to the hospital first, determine the individual treatment plan under the guidance of a professional, and after mastering the correct method, the treatment interval can be used as an auxiliary product to further consolidate the treatment effect and help us to be persistent.
Menopause refers to the last menstrual period of a woman's life, it is a retrospective concept, generally needs the last menstrual period of 12 months to confirm, that is to say, after the last menstrual period after another year, there is no menstrual period, in medicine we can call it entering the menopause, which means the final failure of ovarian function.
In the clinic, it is more common for ovarian function to begin to decline, but there is no final failure, originally thought to be menopause, but within a year there was a menstrual emanation, this situation can not be attributed to true menopause.

True postmenopausal bleeding should not occur, that is, more than a year or more since the last menstrual period, and bleeding again. In this case, doctors usually need to consider whether there is a disease, especially endometrial cancer or cervical cancer, the bleeding is from the lesion, not menstruation, and whether hormone drugs (estrogen-progesterone) or hormone-containing foods are used.
Natural menopause after some women have menopausal symptoms, but also often said to be menopausal symptoms, under the guidance of the doctor can take some hormone drugs, to alleviate the symptoms, during the medication may appear yin tract bleeding, such treatment, the total amount of hormones ingested in the body is under the control of the doctor, is known, and the doctor will instruct regular physical examination, to ensure that the treatment can make us get benefits, to avoid the drawbacks of hormone therapy.
Unknowingly ingesting hormone-added foods or so-called "nutraceuticals" is an even more frightening situation. First of all, the amount of hormone ingested in this case is not clear, and we do not check it regularly, but subjectively feel better and have no knowledge of the actual health situation. So if there is a problem, it is difficult to find out in time, and it is likely to cause serious harm.
All in all, abnormal bleeding after menopause, be sure to go to the hospital to check, timely detection of possible diseases.
Fungal yindoitis (VVC), also known as fungal yindoitis, pathogenic microorganisms are candida, this bacterium has a special feature: in 10% to 20% of women of healthy childbearing age, 6% to 7% of menopausal women and 3% to 6% of prepubertal girls can identify candida bacteria that do not cause inflammation.
That is to say, fungal yindoitis is common in women of childbearing age who have sex, but some single women with no sex can also develop the disease, so it is usually not strictly regarded as a sexually transmitted disease.
For the treatment of fungal yindositis, the domestic guidelines recommend that fluconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole, etc. are the mainstays, and can be used orally or topically (in accordance with the doctor's advice, do not use drugs without authorization). According to the severity of clinical symptoms, frequency of occurrence, fungal species, etc., it is divided into simple and complex VVC, and complex VVC often requires prolonged treatment time.
In addition to the adjustment of treatment time, complex VVCs need to be investigated for other triggers: abnormal blood glucose or poor glycemic control of diabetes; the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics; the use of oral contraceptives or hormone therapy, resulting in increased estrogen levels in the body; and the use of glucocorticoids or other immunosuppressive drugs.

As a disinfection and sterilization product, silver ions have been widely used in the disinfection of skin and mucous membranes, the disinfection of surfaces and the disinfection of air. However, as a drug for yin dao inflammation, it can only be seen from a few research reports, and it is an adjunct to other drugs in the treatment of yin dao inflammation or cervicitis, and the number of cases included in the article is small, which cannot be used as an evidence-based basis, nor is it recommended in clinical guidelines.
Therefore, here, it is recommended that when you encounter yin dao inflammation, it is best to choose a regular hospital for treatment, and if the symptoms do not improve after treatment, you should also return to the hospital to re-evaluate whether the treatment is ineffective or other types of infections have occurred, so as to adjust the treatment plan in time.
Recently, it has been noted that some merchants claim that oral probiotics can play a role in balancing the yindo flora. Probiotics that enter the digestive tract are activated in the intestines and can migrate to the yin tract to play a role after activation, so it is recommended that women can take one capsule a day to maintain women's health.
This set of words down, many women confused, probiotic products are really so magical and effective?
First of all, the microecology in the yin tract and in the intestine is an integral part of the microecological environment in the human body. Supplementation of intestinal microbiome modulators is often used as an adjunct to the treatment of intestinal dysbacteriosis, but whether supplementation with intestinal probiotics can benefit the reproductive tract, that is, whether the probiotics in the intestine claimed by manufacturers can migrate to the yin tract, I think it should be doubted.
Because there is a clear physical barrier in the intestinal tract such as the mucus layer and the mucosal layer, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the intestinal flora to reach the intestinal mucosa through the mucus layer, and there are a large number of immune cells in the human blood, and the bacteria that enter the blood will be destroyed by the body's immune cells as "foreign bodies", so it is theoretically difficult for the probiotics supplemented by the intestine to penetrate multiple layers of tissue and reach the reproductive tract.

The second point is when it is necessary to use probiotics in yin dao.
Judging from the recommendations of the mainland yin dao inflammation treatment guidelines, trichomoniasis yin daoliitis should choose nitroimidazole drugs, such as metronidazole or tinidazole; fungal yin dao inflammation should choose antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole, miconazole, etc., these two diseases do not recommend probiotics as a treatment.
For the treatment of aerobic bacterial yindopathitis and bacterial yindao disease, supplementation with lactobacillus can be used to help restore the balance of vaginal microecology, which plays a role in consolidating the efficacy and prevention.
However, not all yindoactitis requires the use of probiotics, and even if it is, it is an adjunctive use under the premise of drug treatment. In normal women, probiotics are not required when the flora in the yin tract reaches a balanced state.
In summary, yin dao probiotics are not omnipotent, not to mention can not be used as a disease-free disease prevention of daily health care products, really suffer from yin dao inflammation, the best choice is to find a doctor to treat the symptoms.
As for the treatment of yin dao inflammation after the supplemented microbiota is delivered to the private parts by oral administration, it is better to improve the overall immunity and disease resistance by adjusting the intestinal flora, which may have some effect on the prevention of yin dao inflammation. (Ah, oops, it seems to give merchants a product promotion idea...) Cover your face .jpg)
In short, friends, we must not rush to the hospital, have problems and go directly to the hospital, and do more with less. At the same time, don't worry too much, there is no need to "plan ahead" without health problems.
