Daily attention points for women’s health

Giving priority to adapting to your own hormone fluctuation patterns, respecting individual differences, and resolutely avoiding the pitfalls of fake health regimens and excessive medical treatment are 100 times more effective than following the trend and buying thousands of skin care products and copying the health regimen lists of Internet celebrities.

When I was helping a teacher sort out cases at a gynecological clinic, I met a 23-year-old girl who drank two large cups of freshly ground concentrated soy milk every day for three months in order to resist aging and regulate her aunt. Her breast nodules, which had been stable at 1cm after more than half a year of follow-up, directly increased to 2.1cm during the reexamination, and her breasts were so swollen and painful during menstruation that she could not lift her arms. The controversy about soy isoflavones has actually been going on for many years. Some in the popular science circle believe that phytoestrogens are two-way regulators, and normal intake will not cause hormonal disorders in the body. ； However, the clinical frontline does encounter many patients with a history of breast nodules and ovarian cysts, and their symptoms worsen after consuming a large amount of soy products. The current consensus in the industry is that it is perfectly fine for people without relevant medical history to drink about 300ml of soy milk every day. Those with past medical conditions must first ask their attending doctor, and do not follow the trend of taking supplements.

Speaking of hormones, by the way, I would like to mention private parts care that many people misunderstand. Domestic popular science previously said that private parts can only be washed with clean water. In the past two years, the International Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology has also updated its view: If the private parts are prone to sweating and have a slight odor after sitting for a long time, you can also use a weakly acidic private part cleaning product with a pH value between 4.0-4.5. Use it 1-2 times a week without destroying the bacteria. group, but the consensus of all schools is: You must not irrigate the inside of the vagina. Pink gels and firming essences are all IQ taxes. A friend of mine used to use lotion every day to remove odors. In the end, mycotic vaginitis recurred for half a year. I stopped lotion and used probiotic suppositories for two months as directed by the doctor before she was completely cured.

While chatting here, I suddenly remembered the question that I had been asked eight hundred times before, "Will wearing underwire bras cause breast cancer?" This controversy has been going on for a long time. One group believes that steel rings will compress the lymph nodes in the chest and cause toxin accumulation. The other group says that there is currently no clear evidence-based medical evidence proving that steel ring bras are related to breast cancer. But no matter where you stand, there is a unified conclusion: regardless of whether there are underwires or not, wearing underwear for more than 12 hours a day, especially buying underwear in a smaller size to squeeze out the gap, and wearing it to sleep will significantly increase the probability of breast hyperplasia. It is always more important to choose underwear that is comfortable than good-looking. There is really no need to choke yourself for the eyes of outsiders.

In addition to these visible care, there is another point that many people do not take seriously: emotions really have a much greater impact on women’s health than you think. My aunt suddenly went into emo mode a week ago and became displeased with everything she looked at. It's really not that you're being pretentious, it's caused by fluctuations in hormone levels. For example, if you open a dozen apps in the background of your mobile phone at the same time, it will definitely get stuck. It's normal to have unstable moods. Don't force yourself to be "sensible" all the time. Just lie down if you feel uncomfortable, and eat something sweet if you want, without feeling guilty. By the way, I would like to mention the issue of food taboos during menstruation. Some people say that ice must not be touched during menstruation, otherwise it will cause dysmenorrhea. However, clinically, many girls have been eating ice since they were young, and they have no reaction at all when eating ice cream during menstruation. This really depends on individual tolerance. If you feel uncomfortable after eating it, don’t touch it. If you are fine after eating it, there is no need to impose strict taboos. There is no need to put shackles on yourself.

Oh, by the way, there is another pitfall that must be mentioned: don’t believe in the “ovarian care” and “lymphatic detoxification” massages offered in beauty salons. If you don’t massage the abdomen with the wrong strength, you may burst the ovarian cyst, which will require emergency surgery. If you really want to take care of your ovaries, staying up late is better than anything else. A reader told me before that he only ate boiled vegetables for three months to wear a small-size skirt, and lost 20 pounds. My aunt also stopped for half a year, and it took almost a year to regain weight. Body fat rate below 17% will indeed affect hormone secretion. Weight loss should be gradual, and don’t engage in extreme dieting. Health is much more important than losing weight.

Remember to do TCT+HPV joint screening every year after you have sex. Don’t go because you are embarrassed. The HPV vaccine can be given at any time. There is no need to wait for the 9 price. Now the domestic price 9 has been extended to 9-45 years old. Even if you are over 26 years old, the vaccine will still have protective effect. Don’t feel that it is “useless to take it if you are over age” and spend money in vain.

In fact, to put it bluntly, women's health is really not that mysterious. Don't compete with your body. Comfort always comes first. If you are really uncomfortable, don't scare yourself by blindly searching for it. Go directly to a regular hospital, which is more reliable than anything else.
