She failed in losing weight
She might have a uterine fibroid
“Cervix erosion”
Does it have anything to do with promiscuity
A pelvic ultrasound only costs 150 yuan
But it can show clearly what’s wrong with your body
I’m Liucengliu
I used to be a gynecologist in a first-class hospital in Beijing
Now I’m a KOL spreading knowledge about female health
What makes me impressive is that
No matter how the world has changed
People are still asking the same questions
Sometimes some young girls in their 20s came to us
They were very scared by the term “cervix erosion”
They thought they were too young
To have such a “disgusting” disease
Then they might be enticed to unlicensed hospitals and clinics by scalpers and bought all kinds of medicines
In fact, “cervix erosion” is not a disease
It doesn’t need treatment and you can just leave it alone
The term has already been removed from the gynecological textbooks published in 2008
Why does “erosion” occur
It’s actually the displacement of the cervical epithelium
It’s just like our mouth
The skin outside is different from the skin inside
The cervical epithelium can turn outward
Due to its increased exposure to estrogen
And it looks like erosion
Then what is cervicitis
It’s an inflammation resulted from an infection caused by bacteria or microorganisms
Having sex could lead to inflammation
With or without using a condom
Because there is irritation and rubbing
And what is cervical cancer
Cervical cancer develops gradually from infection
Long-lasting infections with high-risk HPVs can cause cancer
It’s totally different from the above-mentioned two
HPV is the abbreviation of human papillomavirus
To put it simply, it’s a group of viruses
The people infected by high-risk HPVs usually don’t have any symptoms
But if the virus infects the cells in the cervix repeatedly and mutation occurs
Then cervical cancer might be caused
Probably cervical cancer will be eliminated in the period between 2045 and 2047
Because of the vaccines
The number that a vaccine name starts with represents the number of the HPV types against which the vaccine can protect you
HPV types 16 and 18 are two major types
70%-80% cervical cancers are related to them
It is recommended that girls of the right age get HPV vaccines
To protect our next generations from cervical cancers
And girls with sexual experiences are still suggested to get vaccination
Because the vaccine can protect you from the HPVs that you haven’t been infectious with
WHO also encourages males to get HPV vaccination
Because they might be transmitters of the viruses
There was once a patient who suffered from complicated vaginitis
The girl was drinking with her colleagues
She went to the washroom and put a tampon inside her
After she got sober, she totally forgot the tampon
Then she had sex with her partner
The condom broke
And some fragments were left in her vagina
Although vaginitis is only inflammation
It could become serious
And repeated treatment is needed
Because it’s not likely to be cured once and for all, just like cold
Our recommendations are
Taking scheduled medications
Washing your vulva with water every day
Keeping your vagina dry and clean
Paying attention to personal hygiene
Have you washed your panties properly
Excessive cleansing is also a problem faced by girls nowadays
For example if a girl wants to wash her vagina
It’s not recommended
That she uses any vagina cleansing products
Lots of women can have one or more uterine fibroids some time in their life
Big or small
It’s the most common non-cancerous tumor in the uterus
I had a patient who was trying to lose weight
Her arms and legs got slimmer, while she still had a fat belly
So she went to the hospital
We found a fibroid inside her belly
With a diameter of a dozen centimeters
And after the surgery, her first sentence was ‘have I really lost some weight’
Generally fibroids can be found through ultrasonic examinations
If it’s so small that you cannot even feel it
Then it doesn’t need any treatment
But if your life gets affected by it
Like increased urgency and frequency of urination because of squeezed bladders
And you have the symptoms
Include non-menstrual bleeding, abnormal uterine bleeding and so on
Then treatment is needed
The idea behind the knowledge and guide is that
How should people protect and express themselves in a relationship
And how should a couple face the problems together
I was once asked by a girl
Her partner wanted to have sex with her
And he told her his health could be impaired by a long-term lack of sex
Nothing will be impaired
If you don’t match each other in terms of sex demand
Then should I tell you
You don’t need to sacrifice yourself to get an ideal relationship
Hymenorrhaphy
Lots of first-class hospitals in Beijing don’t conduct such operations
When there’s no indications of operation at all
Why should we put the patients at risk? And they’re not even patients
There will be a cicatrix
Which leads to a smaller vaginal orifice and causes difficulties in period discharging
Lots of females are influenced by a big structural mistake
And they are unable to fight against it
So they have no choice
I used to meet lots of patients suffered from the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome
We told them the surgery would be painful
And complicated
Some said, “no, I need a vagina”
A doctor cannot decide for a patient
So we can only help our patients with their decisions
To reduce harm as much as possible
When you have some symptoms
It’s not recommended that you get advice online
Because real-life medical treatment cannot be replaced by any online guide
I suggest each female do the following examinations every year
A pelvic ultrasound, a breast ultrasound
And HPV and TCT tests for cervical health
Females should get HPV vaccination as early as possible, regardless of the type
As for choices in life
Be it marriage
Or having sex
Or pregnancy
I suggest you keep one sentence in mind
You are the person who takes the responsibility for your health
When you’re faced with several choices
You need to first consider whether your body will be harmed
And whether you can take the harm
Think before you make a decision
