The symptoms of gynecological diseases are varied, depending on the cause. Some gynecological diseases can cause systemic symptoms, while others can cause local symptoms. Mainly manifested in:
(1) Vaginal itching and pain.
(2) The quantity, color, smell and nature of leucorrhea have changed, such as leucorrhea increasing or decreasing (drying), yellow, pink or brown, smelly, thin as water, purulent or curd-like, which are all abnormal.
(3) Abnormal menstruation, including premature menarche, no menstruation, amenorrhea, cycle disorder, prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual flow, dripping bleeding, obvious discomfort symptoms at different periods of the cycle, or discomfort symptoms at special stages of life.
(4) Pain, such as acute or chronic lower abdominal pain, accompanied by lumbosacral pain or feeling of falling.
(5) Tumors, such as lower abdominal masses and intravaginal tumors.
(6) infertility or infertility.
(7) Sexual dysfunction, such as sexual hypofunction, difficulty, pain, decreased libido, hyperthyroidism, etc.
(8) General symptoms, such as shock, fever, anemia, emaciation, abdominal distension, cachexia, etc.
Women with the above symptoms should go to gynecology for medical treatment in time. Among them, excessive vaginal bleeding, acute lower abdominal pain, falls, or high fever or shock accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding are all gynecological emergencies and need immediate medical attention.
Protecting the "ecological balance" of vagina
Some people studied 280 pregnant women and found 19 kinds of microorganisms in vagina, such as Corynebacterium, Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and other resident bacteria, and even pathogenic Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus (more are found now due to the progress of inspection technology). However, why don't some women who don't pay attention to personal hygiene get sick, and those who pay attention to personal hygiene sometimes have serious vulva, vagina or pelvic inflammatory disease, which can't be cured for a long time? This is related to "ecological balance".
In fact, female reproductive organs have their unique defensive structures and functions in anatomy and physiology. The labia minora on both sides of female vulva are often closed, and the front and rear walls of vagina are close together, forming a natural defense barrier. More importantly, under the influence of estrogen, vaginal epithelial cells can change and fall off periodically. Because they all contain glycogen to varying degrees, glycogen is transformed into lactic acid under the action of vaginal bacilli, so that the vaginal pH value is kept between pH 4 and pH4~pH4.5, so that microorganisms adapted to alkaline environment can not grow and reproduce here. This naturally occurring defense function is also called "self-purification".
In the ecological balance, the flora in vagina has certain combination characteristics. For example, the number of species (genera) of microorganisms, their proportion and which part of vagina they live in are closely controlled by ecological factors. Through this control, not only the resident normal flora does not flow out, but also the invading microorganisms are difficult to survive.
However, in women with anemia, malnutrition, high fever, excessive weakness or fatigue, the normal physiological combination of microorganisms will change due to the decrease of resistance, so that the proportion of bacteria is out of balance and pathogenicity occurs. Usually, in some healthy carriers, although pathogenic bacteria, such as typhoid or dysentery bacilli, can be detected, they will not get sick. However, if the ecological balance is unbalanced, it will lead to flora imbalance, and then diseases will occur.
Today, when antibiotics are widely used, although some antibiotics can easily destroy pathogenic pathogens, it will also make the proportion of flora unbalanced, leading to other pathogens taking the opportunity to attack. Such as fungal vaginitis, staphylococcal vaginitis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaginitis, etc. Most of them are the result of abuse of antibiotics. Therefore, in the treatment of vaginitis, on the one hand, we should kill some pathogenic pathogens, on the other hand, we should pay attention to adjusting the flora and restoring the normal ecological balance. In daily life, once you find an increase in leucorrhea, or feel abnormal, such as vaginal swelling, burning or itching, you should actively check and treat it. The control method is:
(1) Exercise can improve disease resistance, especially when suffering from menstrual disorders, and avoid vaginal flora imbalance caused by endocrine disorders.
(2) Do not abuse drugs, such as antibiotics, hormones, cytotoxic drugs, immunosuppressants or isotopes, so as not to seriously destroy the normal microbial community and ecological balance in the human body.
(3) Avoid alkaline solution, such as washing vagina with hard soapy water, and keep the acidic environment of vagina, so as to facilitate the survival of normal flora.
(4) avoid unclean sex life, so as not to bring unexpected pathogen infection.
(5) If vaginitis is found, it is necessary to distinguish which pathogen is infected. According to different situations, in addition to local treatment, we should also pay attention to the improvement of general state and immune function, and remind the sexual objects to cooperate with the treatment.
