1, How do women care for the uterus?
"The palace of the fetus", "the hometown of menstruation" and "the cradle of life" are all people's comments on the uterus. It is one of the important organs of the female reproductive system. However, in a woman's life, the uterus will encounter many "killers". Statistics show that about 20% of women over the age of 30 suffer from uterine fibroids and 20% suffer from functional uterine bleeding. Every year, 1/4 women under the age of 30 are infected with uterine diseases in the world. At present, uterine diseases have accounted for12 of gynecological diseases in China, that is, one in every two gynecological patients has uterine diseases. No wonder some experts say that the common gynecological disease is uterine disease; To protect women's health, the first condition is to protect the uterus.
Repeated abortion, the number one killer of uterus
After women enter the reproductive period, the uterus also begins to enter the "eventful autumn".
Someone once summed up the "five fatal injuries" of the uterus: First, multiple pregnancies, each more pregnancy, the uterus is a little more risky. Pregnancy more than three times, the possibility and harm of uterine diseases will increase significantly. The second is repeated abortion, especially induced abortion. Every time curettage will make the endometrium thinner, it will also cause pelvic inflammatory disease, subacute salpingitis and so on. In severe cases, it even leads to infertility; The shorter the time interval of abortion, the greater the harm. Thirdly, ignoring prenatal examination and regular prenatal examination is an important guarantee for the safety of mother and baby, otherwise it may lead to serious consequences such as dystocia and even uterine rupture. Fourth, unclean sex life will make many bacteria enter the uterine cavity through female private parts, causing infection. Fifth, the disorder of sexual life, or starting sexual life when young, will not only damage women's physical and mental health, but also cause cervical diseases.
Abortion and drug flow are unsafe.
Among the "five fatal injuries", repeated abortion can be said to be a completely avoidable "mistake".
Nowadays, many young women do not pay attention to contraception, thinking that young people are in good health. Even if there is an unexpected pregnancy, "abortion" is ok and has little impact on the human body. Nowadays, the propaganda about "painless induced abortion" and "medical abortion" is also very common, which has created an illusion that abortion is a surgery that cannot be too small and can be done as you like. So what is the truth?
Some experts estimate that 4.5%-4.8% of women of childbearing age in China suffer from infertility, and more than 70% of them are caused by improper induced abortion. A large number of clinical data show that the number of induced abortions is directly proportional to the probability of infertility.
Wen Di, chief physician of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, said that, first of all, surgical instruments may damage the cervix, endometrium and myometrium, leading to postoperative cervical or uterine cavity adhesion, abnormal menstruation and secondary infertility, and even life-threatening. Secondly, too many miscarriages will reduce human immunity, and the endometrium will be damaged many times, which will affect the implantation environment of fertilized eggs. Once pregnant in the future, embryos are like seedlings in the sand. In order to get more nutrition, it has to take root deeply, so the placenta can't be delivered automatically during childbirth. What's more, it has become "placenta implantation", that is, the placenta and uterus grow into one, and then the uterus has to be removed.
Finally, induced abortion may have long-term complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease; When pregnant again, there may be miscarriage, premature delivery, ectopic pregnancy, placenta adhesion, placenta previa and so on. Bury many hidden dangers for the healthy next generation.
As for drug flow, many people think that just like normal menstrual cramps, it will not harm the body and does not need rest. As we all know, medical abortion causes a lot of harm. "The adverse reactions that induced abortion may cause also exist in the process of drug abortion, but to a lesser extent." Wendi stressed. In the short term, sometimes after taking the medicine, the pregnant tissue is not fully discharged, the endometrium does not recover well, and the bleeding of female private parts lasts for a long time, which can last for 23 weeks or even one or two months, and will cause anemia in the long run. Due to long-term chronic blood loss, the body's resistance will decrease. At this time, bacteria often retrograde from female private parts, causing endometrial inflammation. At the same time, if women of childbearing age have repeated drug abortion, it will also cause repeated damage to the endometrium. "The success rate of drug abortion is around 90%. General 10% women may need curettage after drug abortion; Women who have had a history of abortion are more likely to fail. "
At the same time, Devon believes that injury is not only physical, but also mental. Repeated abortion will have a negative impact on women's psychology, causing them to have psychological fear of pregnancy and childbirth, and even more, it will exclude pregnancy.
To protect yourself, start with choosing the right contraceptive method.
In fact, the pain caused by repeated abortion is completely avoidable. The key is to choose the protective measures that suit you.
For newly married women who have no intention of getting pregnant within two or three years, the principle of choosing contraceptive methods should be simple and easy to master, and it will not affect future pregnancy. For example, use condoms. In addition, short-acting oral contraceptives are also a good choice. At present, the dosage of short-acting oral contraceptive hormones is very low. As long as it is taken on time, it can achieve the purpose of inhibiting ovulation and preventing pregnancy, and the effective rate is as high as 99%. Moreover, some short-acting oral contraceptives, such as Tejule, can also treat dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, irregular menstruation and anemia, and prevent endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer.
If abortion is necessary, then women should pay attention to the following three aspects: First, combine work and rest. Be sure to rest and recuperate according to the doctor's advice after abortion. Many women often give up rest after abortion, which is very unfavorable to recovery, either because they think work is indispensable or because the harm is small and harmless. Therefore, don't rush to work and do housework, so as not to be tired and hurt your health. Second, keep warm properly. After abortion, the body's resistance drops, and the cold is easy to invade, so don't touch cold water, even in summer, and don't be greedy for cold drinks. Third, pay attention to diet. After abortion, you should eat more nutritious and digestible food. If you have symptoms such as fever, severe abdominal cramps or pain, and massive bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Wendi stressed that once menstruation resumes after abortion, the uterus begins to ovulate, which means that it is possible to get pregnant again. Therefore, women should take reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible and don't let themselves be "injured again".
2. How does a woman maintain her uterus all her life?
Cervical cancer is one of the top ten cancers in China. Among all kinds of malignant tumors in women, the incidence rate is second only to breast cancer. At present, more than 1 10,000 women need to have their uterus removed every year.
The uterus is one of the important organs of the female body. According to statistics, about 30% of women over the age of 30 suffer from uterine fibroids, and about 20% suffer from functional uterine bleeding. The high incidence of uterine diseases is related to women's ignorance of the uterus. Here is a detailed introduction to the development and physiological changes of the uterus in female sexual life to help female friends better protect the uterus.
Childhood: Pay attention to nutrition and sleep
Girls aged from 2 months to 12 years old are in the stage of rapid physical development, and the reproductive system is gradually maturing, while I am slow to develop and still very naive. So you should pay attention to nutrition collocation and combine work and rest. Adequate sleep and proper exercise can not only improve immunity and enhance the body's disease resistance, but also be an important means to promote growth and development and a material basis to ensure my normal development.
Don't think that you won't get gynecological diseases in childhood, and children will also get vulvitis and female genital inflammation. If I get sick, I must treat it in time, otherwise, because I open my mouth to the outside, germs will wait for an opportunity to invade and cause uterine inflammation.
Adolescence: Premature sexual life is very harmful.
Menstruation means that women enter puberty. The estrogen secretion of adolescent women is very strong, which can reach 8~ 10 times that of childhood, and the body and reproductive organs develop rapidly. But at this time, the uterus is not fully mature and fragile, and it still needs careful protection. During this period, special attention should be paid to hygiene, especially menstrual hygiene, to prevent inflammation of vulva and female private parts, which is very important for the normal development of uterus and the whole reproductive system.
If adolescent girls get involved in sexual life too early, it will bring immeasurable harm to the immature reproductive system. Trauma, bleeding, infection, especially induced abortion after unplanned pregnancy, can easily lead to inflammation of uterus and appendages, greatly increasing the possibility of female infertility in the future. In recent years, the number of unmarried pregnant girls has increased significantly, which has led to a sharp increase in the rate of induced abortion, especially repeated abortions or unauthorized drug abortions in a short period of time, which is even more devastating to the uterus.
Sexual maturity: regular gynecological examination.
During sexual maturity, the reproductive system and uterus have matured. But at this time, the chance of getting sick is greatly increased, and the protection for me must not be relaxed. It's best to have regular gynecological examinations and deal with problems in time.
First of all, pay attention to hygiene during sexual life, because unclean sexual life will allow various pathogens to take advantage of it, which may lead to various related sexually transmitted diseases, cervicitis, endometritis and even pelvic inflammatory disease. Secondly, do a good job of contraception to prevent "abortion". Abortion means severe trauma to the uterus. Even if the uterus is mature, repeated abortion will lead to infection and injury, greatly increasing the probability of infertility in the future. However, drug abortion is prone to incomplete abortion, leading to massive bleeding. This is a serious threat to uterine health.
Pregnancy: postpartum prevention of uterine prolapse.
When eggs and sperm meet, the uterus also welcomes one of the most brilliant missions-pregnancy and childbirth. In the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, we should avoid having the same room, otherwise it will not only damage the uterus, but also hurt the baby. Regular prenatal examination is an important measure to ensure the safety of mother and baby. Once there is any abnormal situation such as bleeding or bleeding in female private parts, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment at any time. Abnormal multiple births are prone to dystocia, so even if there is no abnormality, it is very necessary to have regular prenatal examination.
In order to ensure a smooth delivery, please go to a regular hospital for delivery. If the sanitary conditions are not good, it is easy to cause postpartum uterine infection, and oxytocin should never be abused when delivery is difficult or labor process is prolonged. This practice is quite dangerous and often leads to uterine rupture.
/kloc-When the baby is born in October and the uterus returns to the prenatal state, it takes not only time, but also the active protection of women. Scientific confinement, reasonable diet, adequate rest and moderate exercise are all beneficial measures for pregnant women. Advocate breastfeeding, because breastfeeding is conducive to promoting postpartum uterine contraction, helping pelvic ligament recovery and avoiding sequelae such as uterine prolapse in the future.
Menopause and Menopause: Don't abuse hormones.
45 ~ 55 years old, women are in menopause, and the health of the uterus is getting worse every year. "Menopause" is called menopause. Because of the decline of ovarian function, menstruation will become irregular, and the amount of bleeding will be short and last for different periods until menstruation stops completely. With the decline of ovarian function, the content of estrogen in the body decreases, and the uterus appears more fragile. This period is also the high incidence stage of malignant tumors. Reasonable diet, increased protein, intake of vitamins and minerals, adequate sleep, moderate exercise and other good living habits are particularly important. Regular gynecological examination is beneficial to the early detection of malignant tumors.
Although estrogen supplementation can alleviate many symptoms of menopause, estrogen is likely to increase the incidence of malignant tumors, so estrogen replacement therapy cannot be applied casually. When necessary, it should be used in strict accordance with the regulations under the guidance of doctors and regular monitoring.
After menopause, the whole body gradually changes with the increase of age. The reproductive organs are gradually shrinking, and the uterus is inevitably shrinking-the cervix and uterus are shrinking, and the endometrium of the cervical canal is shrinking. Without the protection of mucus plug, the endometrium becomes thinner, which is easy to infect and form endometritis, and even uterine cavity empyema. So you should pay special attention to vulva hygiene during this time. If there are abnormal conditions, such as unexplained bleeding or female private parts bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
