Why are many gynecological inflammations prone to relapse when the weather starts to get hotter?
One of the twenty-four solar terms, "Earn Grain", just passed a few days ago. For residents in the Jiangnan area, passing Mangzhong means summer is coming. In this extraordinary time of seasonal change, women's chances of suffering from gynecological diseases also greatly increase. Rong Shaokui, an expert in TCM gynecology and chief TCM physician, said that among the female patients who have come to see him recently, many have gynecological inflammation. Dr. Rong Shaokui said that gynecological inflammation is a common infectious disease, and most healthy women have pathogenic pathogens in their bodies. Due to the strong immune function of the body, various flora restrict each other, making it less likely to develop. When a person's immune function is low due to illness, stress, depression, excessive excitement, improper medication, etc., he or she becomes infected with inflammation. "Vagitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, cervicitis, etc. are all gynecological inflammations. Many patients do not pay enough attention to gynecological diseases, or they avoid medical treatment or are ashamed to talk about it. They cannot take effective methods to treat them in time, which may cause increased leucorrhea and discoloration. , itching, fishy odor, waist and abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can cause uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, infertility, and even develop into serious diseases such as cervical cancer. " Dr. Rong Shaokui said that modern women have high pressure in life, stressful work, and irregular work and rest hours. Factors such as decreased resistance can induce gynecological inflammation. Especially in summer, irregular menstruation, vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cervical diseases are more likely to occur. This is mainly due to the high temperature and humid climate in summer, which makes it easy for bacteria to multiply and the body's own resistance will decrease. At the same time, some women have endocrine disorders themselves, and due to weather conditions, abnormal menstrual flow and menstrual irregularities will occur more often. “TCM treats irregular menstruation based on changes in menstrual cycle and blood volume. It combines the color, texture and systemic symptoms of menstruation, and treats syndrome differentiation from the four aspects of cold, heat, deficiency and excess. It can achieve better results and is certain to To achieve a balance, menstruation will be normal. "Gynecological inflammation can usually be significantly relieved with ordinary drugs, but why do most patients relapse? Dr. Rong said that excessive use of antibiotics will cause the bacteria in women to develop drug resistance and destroy the inherent balance of flora in the body. Women suffering from inflammation generally have particularly weak immunity, so gynecological inflammation is prone to recurrence and cannot be cured after a long period of treatment. "When women have sexual intercourse, especially after they have had a history of miscarriage, many toxins will accumulate in the reproductive tract and uterus, which can cause increased leucorrhea, discoloration and itching, waist and abdominal pain, in addition, it can also lead to increased dullness of chloasma and premenstrual bleeding. Abdominal pain, unbearable breast swelling and pain, abnormal menstrual cycles, etc. " Dr. Rong Shaokui said that adding conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of ordinary Western medicine cleaning can make the treatment more comfortable and less likely to relapse after treatment. How should women spend this summer? Dr. Rong gave some suggestions: Eat: First of all, pay attention to the freshness of the food. In summer, food is easy to perish and spoil, so it is not suitable to continue to eat meals that have been left overnight. At the same time, you should eat more foods that are not greasy and easy to digest. Vegetables such as mung beans, watermelon, bitter melon, loofah, tomatoes, etc. are all good choices, but it is better not to eat spicy foods. Although eating some cool foods in summer can help us prevent heatstroke and reduce heat, the intake should still be controlled. Do not drink iced drinks or drinks, especially one week before menstruation, otherwise it will easily lead to dysmenorrhea or irregular menstruation. . Wear: Female friends try not to wear tight clothes. Cotton, loose-fitting clothes have good breathability, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce the occurrence of diseases. No matter how breathable a panty liner is in summer, it can't beat cotton underwear, so it is recommended to buy a dozen cotton underwear in summer and wash and change them every day. Accommodation: The temperature is high in summer. Female friends should be careful not to be greedy for coolness. Do not set the air conditioner temperature too low, and do not blow the fan all the time.
