Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. I don't know what happened. I haven't had sex with my husband recently either. I usually clean my private parts and underwear, but suddenly I started experiencing itching in my private area, and my discharge became yellow and abundant. Please ask: Why do I get gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological diseases include external genital diseases, vaginal diseases, uterine diseases, fallopian tube diseases, ovarian diseases, etc. These diseases do not necessarily require sexual intercourse to develop; sexual intercourse is just one of the possible causes. It is recommended that if you experience discomfort, you should seek follow-up treatment promptly for recovery. Maintaining good hygiene habits is important, especially when it comes to cleaning the genital area. For daily cleaning, you can use a pH 4 mild acidic feminine care liquid. Avoid using public clothing racks, bathtubs, towels, and other hygiene facilities. You should also wash your face before using the toilet; do not use dirty toilet paper; when wiping the external genital area after defecation, it is best to wipe from front to back; change underwear and place it in a well-ventilated area to dry; use your own basin and towels; and do not wash underwear and socks together. Showers are preferable over baths. These small lifestyle tips can effectively help you prevent gynecological diseases.
