Many women have encountered this dilemma: they pay close attention to personal hygiene, so why do they still get gynecological diseases? Or, even though they wash themselves thoroughly, their husbands always complain of an odor during sex. Where does this odor come from? They then complain: before marriage, they rarely saw a gynecologist, but since getting married and having sex, why have they experienced more gynecological problems? These complaints from women are not without merit. In fact, at least three gynecological diseases are "directly caused" by men.
Men with phimosis often harm women.
Men are responsible for three gynecological diseases
1. Abnormal Vaginal Discharge. After puberty, women sometimes experience clear, colorless discharge on their underwear. This is due to the increased estrogen secretion after ovarian development, medically known as leukorrhea. It moistens or lubricates the vagina. Increased vaginal discharge is normal during stimulation, a few days before and after menstruation, ovulation, and pregnancy. Normal leukorrhea is colorless, transparent, and odorless. If the discharge increases, becomes cheesy or curd-like, yellow or green, or has a fishy smell, it is abnormal and usually indicates reproductive tract inflammation. Experts point out that although there are many reasons for reproductive tract inflammation in women, sometimes the responsibility lies with the man—if he doesn't wash his hands before touching the woman, has long nails that harbor dirt, doesn't wash his genitals before intercourse, or has poor hygiene habits, or has phimosis or redundant foreskin. In these cases, if the woman is lazy about urinating and washing afterward, abnormal leukorrhea is more likely to occur.
2. Chronic Cervicitis. Data shows that the incidence of chronic cervicitis in married or sexually active women is as high as 50%. Unmarried women rarely develop cervicitis because of the barrier effect of the hymen, making it difficult for bacteria to invade. After sexual activity begins, the vagina is relatively open, providing an opportunity for bacteria to enter. Normal, hygienic sexual activity will not cause any harm to women. Vaginal secretions also have a self-cleaning function. However, in some cases, due to male factors, bacteria can enter the vagina, increasing the likelihood of women developing reproductive organ inflammation. Male phimosis and smegma provide breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses, which can easily be transmitted to the partner through sexual intercourse. Early circumcision and the use of condoms have a preventive effect against cervical cancer. Both men and women should shower and clean their genitals before intercourse to reduce the chance of infection. Men should retract the foreskin, especially cleaning the sulcus of the glans penis.
3. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). PID refers to inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum. PID rarely occurs in young girls who have not yet menstruated, unmarried girls who have not had sexual intercourse, or postmenopausal women, but the incidence is very high in women of reproductive age. There are many causes of PID, mainly postpartum or post-abortion infections, or after intrauterine procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) or tubal patency testing. However, gynecologists again point the finger at male partners: some men request sexual intercourse with their women during menstruation, resulting in PID.
