This year's "3.15" evening party exposed the "inferior sanitary napkins" incident: several well-known mother and baby brands' sanitary napkins and baby diapers were refurbished and sold with defective materials. How can women conduct self-examination and self rescue in the face of "renovating sanitary pads"? What should I do if I accidentally suffer from gynecological inflammation? The director of the gynecology department at Fangcun Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine gave an answer to Dongfang. Poor quality sanitary napkins pose a threat to women's health. Three major risks to be aware of are introduced to the East. During menstruation, women's blood chambers are open and their resistance is weakened. Using inferior sanitary napkins that carry bacteria and pathogens can easily lead to vaginal inflammation, cervicitis, and even retrograde infections that can cause gynecological inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Not only can it cause abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, pain, etc., but it may also have a serious impact on women's reproductive system and overall health, such as causing complications such as infertility, miscarriage, and premature birth; Secondly, inferior sanitary pads can also disrupt the balance of female microbiota, leading to inflammation of the reproductive system. Explaining to the East, a healthy female reproductive system is not in a sterile state, but rather has its own microbial balance. And these low-quality sanitary napkins that re-enter the market often have poor water absorption and breathability, and carry a large amount of harmful bacteria and viruses. Long term use of inferior sanitary pads can increase the risk of infection and may also lead to dysbiosis of the reproductive system microbiota; Finally, the use of non compliant bleaching agents, fluorescent agents, and other chemicals during the renovation process of sanitary napkins may leave residues in the product. Long term use can cause skin allergies, itching, and even increase the risk of cancer. I'm afraid I've used inferior sanitary pads - how to self check and save myself? Many female friends who have read the news are worried that they may accidentally buy these inferior sanitary pads and suffer from gynecological diseases without realizing it? Xiang Dongfang expressed that if there is no discomfort in the body, there is no need to panic too much. Proper care and physical examination can help us detect physical problems early and save ourselves in a timely manner. Introduce to the East that women should maintain good personal hygiene habits, wash their external genitalia with warm water every day, and avoid using irritating washes. Excessive cleaning or improper use of cleaning products may disrupt the microbial balance of private parts. Even if there are no discomfort symptoms, regular gynecological examinations should be conducted to achieve early detection and treatment. Gynecological examination is an important means of preventing and detecting diseases. It is recommended that women undergo gynecological examination at least once a year, including routine gynecological examination, vaginal secretion examination, gynecological ultrasound examination, cervical TCT, HPV examination, etc. These examinations can help women detect potential gynecological diseases in a timely manner. What should I do if I accidentally suffer from gynecological inflammation? Introduce to the East that if you are not careful about gynecological inflammation, do not self medicate. Once symptoms such as itching, increased vaginal discharge, and odor are found in the external genitalia, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Different types of vaginitis have different treatment plans, and improper medication not only fails to achieve the treatment goal, but may even worsen the disease and have the opposite effect. In addition, it is important not to rinse the vagina or use medication before seeking medical attention, as these behaviors can disrupt the vaginal microbiota status, affect test results and the doctor's judgment, and thus affect the treatment effect. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be prohibited, and some special pathogen infections require simultaneous treatment by both spouses. Introducing to the East, most gynecological inflammations have common clinical manifestations - changes in the amount, color, and quality of vaginal discharge. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to these diseases collectively as "vaginal diseases". The ancient book "Fu Qing's Female Health Care" in the Qing Dynasty states: "Both husband and wife are suffering from dampness", and it is believed that the common cause of "vaginal diseases" cannot be separated from "dampness". Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine treatment for gynecological diseases often revolves around eliminating the "dampness" evil. The treatment of gynecological diseases with damp heat descending type is to clear heat and remove dampness, while the treatment of gynecological diseases with spleen deficiency and excessive dampness is to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness to stop the bleeding. I hope every woman can take her own health seriously, start from daily details, scientifically purchase and use sanitary pads. At the same time, pay attention to physical symptoms, regularly undergo gynecological examinations, and seek medical attention promptly if problems are found
