Recently, there was a case of concern in our clinic. Ms. Zhao, 45, who has lived with her husband for nearly 20 years, immediately came to the hospital for help when she experienced symptoms of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. After examination, Ms. Zhao was diagnosed with HPV (human papillomavirus) infection, which progressed to cervical cancer.
Ms. Zhao has always believed that she is faithful in her marriage and has never misbehaved with others, so she firmly believes that it is the result of her husband's infidelity. Emotionally, she got into a heated argument with her husband in the consultation room. However, Ms. Zhao's husband was upset about this, thinking she was vexatious and left the hospital alone.
This incident reflects a lack of public awareness about HPV and cervical cancer. HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus, and its infection is not always due to spousal infidelity. In fact, most sexually active adults will be infected with HPV at some point, but the body of most infected people can clear the virus on its own. Cervical cancer can only develop if the virus persists.
In Ms. Zhao's case, we see how a lack of medical information can lead to family strife and misunderstandings. By providing the right medical knowledge and advocating for sexual health education, we can help avoid similar unfortunate incidents.
Female friends need to pay attention, even if they love him, don't indulge him
Smoke and secondhand smoke: a hidden threat
Despite widespread recognition of the harmful effects of smoking, many people struggle to break the Xi, especially when they become dependent on the harmful ingredients in cigarettes. The damage to one's health from long-term smoking is self-evident, but it also causes indirect harm to those around you. Of particular note is the impact of secondhand smoke on women's health. When women regularly inhale secondhand smoke from their partners, these toxic substances can cause endocrine disorders, affecting the detoxification and metabolic functions of the uterus, which may damage uterine health in the long run.
Sex during menstruation: Requires more attention
During sex, men's needs sometimes ignore women's health, especially during menstruation. Women should refrain from sexual activity during this time to avoid potential damage to the uterus. Having sex during menstruation can cause damage to the lining of the uterus. In addition, since women's immunity is weaker during menstruation, sex at this time increases the risk of contracting gynecological diseases.
The impact of mood swings on women's health
In interpersonal relationships, especially between men and women, conflicts and misunderstandings are inevitable. Women may be more susceptible to emotions because of their delicate minds. This can worsen when conflicts in the relationship intensify and the partner is unwilling to accommodate or tolerate them. Mood swings, especially anger and stress, can lead to endocrine disruptions in women, which can cause menstrual irregularities and menstrual disorders, which are not good for uterine health.
The health of the uterus must also be guarded by the women themselves
The uterus is not only the cradle of life, but also the heart of the menstrual cycle. Therefore, female friends need to pay special attention to the health of the uterus and take some necessary maintenance measures.
First of all, the cleanliness of private parts is very important. It is recommended to use warm water to clean the private parts every day and change and wash the underwear every day to avoid bacterial growth and infection. In addition, it is recommended to replace the underwear with new ones every 3 to 6 months to avoid the adverse effects of accumulated bacteria on the old underwear.
Secondly, dietary modification is also crucial. High-fat and high-calorie foods can lead to excessive estrogen production, which in turn can cause endocrine imbalances and increase the risk of uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is recommended to consume light, low-irritant foods and reduce the intake of carbonated drinks and alcoholic beverages.
Furthermore, reasonable contraception is equally important to protect the uterus. Frequent miscarriages or induced labor can cause serious harm to the uterus and increase the risk of endometrial infections, and in severe cases, even affect fertility. For women who are not planning to get pregnant, using condoms is a convenient and safe option, and it is also effective in preventing STDs.
Finally, maintaining moderate exercise is also key. Sitting for long periods of time can have adverse effects on your physical health and increase the risk of chronic diseases. It is recommended that female friends change their sedentary Xi habits, and can set reminders to get up and move every hour to improve pelvic congestion and promote cervical blood circulation.
