Patient's question:
I would like to ask, how can I avoid gynecological diseases? What aspects should I pay attention to on a daily basis? How should I pay attention to hygiene? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Effective prevention of gynecological diseases should pay attention to the following points:1. Exercise regularly, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid excessive consumption of high-sugar foods.
2. Both partners should develop good hygiene habits, paying special attention to the cleanliness of the genital organs. It is best to rinse the external genitalia daily with a clean basin and warm water.
3. Develop good hygiene habits: Do not use public clothing basins, bathtubs, towels, or other sanitary utensils. Wash your hands before using the toilet; do not abuse unclean toilet paper; wipe the external genitalia from front to back after defecation; change and wash underwear, placing them in a well-ventilated area to dry; use your own basins and towels; and wash underwear separately from socks. Showering is recommended instead of tub baths.
4. Excessive induced abortions and childbirth are also causes of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid too many induced abortions and childbirths.
5. Regular gynecological disease screenings should be conducted. Generally, women under 40 who are married should be examined every two years, while women over 40 should be examined annually.
6. Abstinence is required during the menstrual period and for 30 days after a miscarriage. This helps prevent pelvic infections, retrograde blood flow leading to endometriosis, and even infertility.
