Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 33 years old this year. I had a vaginal infection last year, and I have been very afraid of gynecological diseases ever since. But what is meant to come will come. Now I want to know first what gynecological diseases are there, and how can they be prevented well.Doctor's answer:
Common Gynecological Symptoms in Women1. Vaginitis: Among gynecological diseases, the most common types of vaginitis include trichomoniasis, candidiasis, and gonococcal infection. The primary gynecological symptoms are itching of the external genitalia and vagina. In some cases, local erosion may occur, accompanied by burning pain, dysuria, pollakiuria, increased vaginal discharge, and redness or swelling.
2. Cervicitis: When the cervix becomes acutely inflamed, it becomes congested and swollen, causing pain upon touch. A large amount of yellow purulent discharge may flow from the vagina, accompanied by lower abdominal pain. If the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, it may cause lower back and sacral pain or a sense of heaviness. When it becomes chronic, the cervix may develop erosion or hypertrophy. The vaginal discharge increases, appearing white or yellow. Pain may intensify before or after menstruation, or after defecation or sexual intercourse. Erosion and cracks in the cervix may increase the risk of cervical cancer.
3. Pelvic Inflammation: The main symptoms of acute pelvic inflammation include lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge or persistent bleeding, which can cause lower abdominal pain and backache. The main symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammation are general fatigue, poor spirits, and stomach discomfort, especially during menstruation or after sexual intercourse. It can lead to inflammation, adhesion, or blockage of the fallopian tubes in many women, resulting in infertility.
