The following are common misconceptions in the treatment of gynecological diseases: indiscriminate medication, excessive cleaning, etc.
1. Blind medication can cause significant harm to oneself, and it is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases. Blindly choosing the wrong (cleaning agent) can further weaken women's already fragile self-defense system.
2. Improper cleaning methods may sometimes introduce pathogens deeper into the vagina, leading to more difficult-to-treat conditions such as cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Some patients with candidiasis of the vagina clean their external genitalia many times a day, using (cleaning devices) or hands to clean the vagina. In fact, this practice is not advisable. The vagina contains a diverse community of microorganisms that mutually regulate each other to some extent, suppressing the overgrowth of certain pathogens and serving as a natural defense system of the human body. Excessive cleaning disrupts this mutual regulation, leading to imbalance and a decline in vaginal disease resistance. As everyone knows, beneficial bacteria play a significant role in the human body, commonly referred to as "probiotics." For a long time, our biologists have been dedicated to studying the functions of beneficial probiotics to help maintain the body in a healthy state.
