Preface
51-year-old Wang Fang has been feeling unwell lately, especially in her lower body.
As a secondary school teacher, she has a busy schedule and rarely has time to pay attention to her physical health.
It wasn't until the discomfort grew stronger that she decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.
After a series of detailed examinations, the doctor told Wang Fang the shocking news: she had vaginal cancer.
This diagnosis was like a thunderbolt from the blue, making Wang Fang feel that the world was spinning.
She couldn't believe how she could get this disease, which she had always been healthy.
When Wang Fang's husband Li Qiang learned the news, his first reaction was disbelief.
He then began to wonder if his wife was having an extramarital affair.
Faced with her husband's doubts, Wang Fang was very sad, but she couldn't explain the cause clearly. She could only tell her husband: "It's not what you think, I've always been loyal to you." "
The attending doctor, Zhang Quan, is an expert in gynecologic oncology, and he patiently explained the medical knowledge of vaginal cancer to the couple.
Dr Zhang said vaginal cancer is more common in women over the age of 50, but the exact cause is not yet clear.
It is currently thought to be related to the following factors:
1. Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common sexually transmitted disease that can cause cervical and vaginal cancer.
2. Weakened immunity. The immune system is impaired, making it unable to effectively remove cancerous cells, increasing the risk of cancer.
3. Smoking. The harmful substances in tobacco can damage the vaginal mucosa and cause cancer under long-term irritation.
4. Bad lifestyle habits. For example, excessive vaginal cleaning, frequent use of bath liquid, etc., damage the vaginal environment, easy to cause inflammation and cancer.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Wang Fang suddenly realized. She remembered that she had been in the habit of over-cleaning her vagina for years.
Every time she takes a shower, she has to wash her vagina repeatedly with soap or shower gel, thinking that this is the only way to be clean and hygienic.
Now it seems that it was this "bad habit" that caused her illness.
Dr. Zhang warned Wang Fang that women's vaginas have a self-cleaning function and have a large number of lactobacilli inside, which can maintain an acidic vaginal environment and resist pathogens.
Excessive cleansing will damage the vaginal environment, cause dysbiosis, bacteria or viruses can take advantage of the gap, and induce gynecological inflammation and tumors.
Dr. Zhang's words made Li Qiang let go of his suspicions about his wife and pay attention to her condition instead.
In the following treatment, Li Qiang always accompanied Wang Fang and gave her the greatest support and encouragement.
Under the careful treatment of doctors and the careful care of her family, Wang Fang's condition gradually improved, and finally defeated the cancer.
From what happened to Wang Fang, we should learn the following lessons:
1. Treat vaginal cleanliness properly and don't overdo it. Just wash with water and cotton underwear to keep your vulva dry.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, live a safe life, and avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as HPV.
3. Enhance your own immunity, eat reasonably, exercise moderately, and stay away from tobacco and alcohol.
4. Have regular gynecological examinations, do a good job of cancer screening, early detection and early treatment.
Only by establishing a correct concept of health and developing good living habits can we stay away from the invasion of diseases and have a healthy and happy life.
Wang Fang's story warns every woman to use more wisdom and actions to protect their precious health!
