These gynecological myths are all wrong! Did you believe them?
These gynecological myths are all wrong! Did you believe them?
Myth 1: Frequent washing is necessary for vaginal itching.
There are two main causes of vulvar itching: gynecological inflammation and functional decline. If you have a gynecological infection, it's advisable not to wash the vulva frequently without consulting a doctor, as this can lower local immunity and worsen the itching. If the vulvar itching is caused by low estrogen levels, you should also avoid washing indiscriminately, as this can reduce sebum secretion from the vulvar sebaceous glands and exacerbate dryness and itching.
Myth 2: You can't wash your hair during your period.
There's a common belief that washing your hair during menstruation will worsen headaches and cause health problems later in life. However, washing your hair with warm water during menstruation actually helps dilate blood vessels and promote menstrual flow, which can be quite beneficial in relieving menstrual cramps.
Myth 3: You will become like a man after a hysterectomy.
The uterus is a vital organ for female fertility. Removing the uterus can affect fertility, but it will not turn a woman into a man. As long as a woman's ovaries are preserved, estrogen secretion will not be affected, and she can continue to be a woman.
Myth 4: Cervical erosion is a disease
The term "cervical erosion" may sound alarming, but it's not actually a disease and there's no need to worry. Cervical erosion is essentially caused by the outward migration of columnar epithelium due to high estrogen levels, much like having a few pimples on your face; no special treatment is required.
Myth 5: Cesarean section is beneficial for body recovery
Some people believe that cesarean sections will not affect the hips and will be more conducive to postpartum recovery, so they choose cesarean sections. In fact, the delivery method is unrelated to postpartum body shape recovery. Postpartum body shape recovery is mainly related to the body's condition during pregnancy and one's own physical condition.
