Gynecological Health Management Center

Many people’s first impression of the Gynecological Health Management Center is that it is “a place to go only if you have gynecological diseases”, and even associates it with “unspeakable private diseases”. In fact, this is the biggest misunderstanding - the core positioning of the Gynecological Health Management Center is to serve as a service carrier that covers the full life cycle health needs of women of all ages. Whether you are an adolescent student, a mother preparing for pregnancy in the childbearing age, or an elder who has gone through menopause, even if you do not have any obvious physical discomfort, you can get appropriate health support here.

I just received a 19-year-old sophomore girl last week. She was dragged here by her mother. Every time she secretly took ibuprofen for dysmenorrhea, her mother would scold her for "taking painkillers indiscriminately and hurt her body." She took her to a clinic near her home. The doctor only said, "How can a little girl have so many problems? She will be fine after giving birth." As a result, she had to carry it for two or three days every time she had her period, and she couldn't attend class well. When I came here, I first performed an abdominal B-ultrasound and hormone screening to rule out organic problems such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. After confirming that it was primary dysmenorrhea, I customized a diet and exercise adjustment plan for her for the week before menstruation, and also helped her mother to learn about "primary dysmenorrhea." "The safe dose of ibuprofen for menstrual cramps is far less than the damage caused by physical pain." She also sent me a WeChat message last week, saying that my aunt only had pain for half a day this time, and she managed it without taking any painkillers. She also took a photo of the red dates and millet porridge she cooked according to the recipe. It was steaming and warmed just by looking at it.

Speaking of which, I have to mention two development directions that have been arguing in the industry for a long time: One group advocates "full-link coverage", from HPV vaccine appointments, two cancer screenings, daily gynecological examinations, to postoperative follow-up, pregnancy preparation guidance, perimenopausal hormone adjustment, all packaged, which is equivalent to giving women a lifetime health record； The other group believes that "vertical deep cultivation" should be carried out to conduct long-term and refined management specifically for segmented needs such as polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, and postpartum pelvic floor muscle repair. Our center does not have to take sides now. If you have special disease needs, we will connect you with the corresponding specialist follow-up team and regularly follow up on the indicator adjustment plan. ； If you just want to do a routine physical examination and find out your physical condition, there are also basic service packages that are suitable for you. Health management should be done on demand, and there is no need to turn it into a standardized assembly line.

A 42-year-old patient I met a few days ago can illustrate the importance of this flexibility. She pays special attention to her health. She read on the Internet that she needs to take estrogen supplements during perimenopause. She took soy isoflavones for half a year. As a result, a physical examination showed that the thickness of the endometrium was 12 mm. She was so frightened that she came to us. During the consultation, I learned that she had a family history of endometrial hyperplasia and was estrogen-sensitive. Blind estrogen supplementation would increase the risk of the disease. We adjusted her diet, asked her to stop taking supplements, and arranged a two-month follow-up observation. Last week, the thickness of the endometrium was reviewed and it has dropped to the normal range of 7mm. To be honest, too many women feel that gynecological problems are "private matters" and are too embarrassed to ask anyone. They blindly search Baidu and take supplements blindly, but they step into a lot of unnecessary pitfalls. We are actually doing the job of "clearing mines" and we will sort them out for you before the mines blow up.

Of course, it is not without reason that everyone is resistant to the gynecological health management center. When the industry first became popular two years ago, there was indeed a lot of chaos. I accompanied my cousin to a private institution for a physical examination. When she got there, she was offered an "ovary maintenance package" worth more than 3,000 yuan. She said that if she didn't do it, she would be prone to premature aging and not be able to conceive. I just dragged her away - if massage and facial mask can maintain the ovaries, why do we need a gynecologist? There are also young girls who have no sex life and are tricked into having vaginal ultrasounds, and a bunch of useless physical therapy programs are prescribed for common vaginitis. These are real stains on the industry. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing. A regular center will definitely ask you about your age, medical history, childbirth history, and sexual life history before recommending a suitable program for you. They will stuff you with the most expensive package as soon as they come up, and then just turn around and leave.

I have been at the center for almost 8 years, and there are two questions I hear most often: “Do I need a gynecological examination if I don’t have sex? ”“Is a gynecological examination particularly painful? ”In fact, there is really no need to be afraid. Girls who are not sexually active can choose abdominal B-ultrasound or transrectal B-ultrasound, which will not involve invasive procedures on private parts at all. ； Even if you need to do TCT or HPV screening, the doctor who performs the procedure will explain to you clearly what to do every step of the way in advance, and try to be as gentle as possible. Our center now also has a "accompanied examination" service. If you are afraid of doing it alone, you can ask a nurse to chat with you to distract your attention. Many people say it is much easier than they imagined after doing it.

Yesterday, the 19-year-old girl asked me if I could bring her classmates in the dormitory for consultation. She said that several people in their dormitory had irregular menstruation and were too embarrassed to go to the hospital. You see, gynecological health management is never a high-end thing, nor is it a special service that only sick people need. To put it bluntly, it just helps you understand your body better, avoid unnecessary sins, and live more comfortably.
