Patient's question:
A while ago, I found that I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a check-up. That's when I discovered I had a gynecological infection. It's already been treated, but how can I prevent gynecological infections in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1 Regular gynecological examinations should be conducted. Since many gynecological infections do not show obvious symptoms in the early stages, they can only be detected through gynecological examinations. Therefore, to prevent gynecological infections, women should regularly undergo gynecological check-ups, especially married women, so that they can be treated in a timely manner. If gynecological infections are not treated promptly, the inflammation may spread upwards and affect the female internal reproductive organs.
2 Pay attention to personal hygiene. Undergarments should be soft, loose, and wide, preferably made of cotton. It is best to clean the external genitalia daily with clean warm water, but avoid using cleaning solutions during washing.
