How to deal with vulvar inflammation?
When inflammation and swelling of the vulva occur, it is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene and wash with clean water after defecation. The secretions of the vulva are acidic and contain normal flora, which helps prevent bacterial infections. Avoid frequently washing the vulva with medications or other washes. In cases of vulvar inflammation, it is advisable to wear breathable cotton underwear to avoid wearing too tight underwear and to use anti-inflammatory ointments to treat swelling. Furthermore, women experiencing this condition should avoid foods that can cause irritation and inflammation of the genitals, such as soft-shelled turtles, crabs, chicken, goose, lamb, etc., and should also avoid spicy and irritating foods.
What is the cause of endometritis?
Endometritis is a common gynecological disease in clinical practice. There are many causes of endometritis, which can lead to inflammatory changes in the endometrial structure. Bacteria can ascend from the vagina and cervix, descend from the fallopian tubes, or reach the endometrium through the lymphatic system, causing the disease. For example, childbirth and the weakened immune response afterward can lead to pathogen invasion if the placenta and membranes are retained. The placental separation surface can be infected by bacteria causing inflammation of the endometrium. Additionally, the placement or removal of an intrauterine device, abortion procedures, dilation and curettage, and medication-induced abortion can also facilitate the invasion of pathogens and trigger endometrial inflammation.
Does vulvar eczema belong to vulvitis?
Vulvar eczema and vulvitis are not the same disease; they are different from each other. Vulvar eczema is mainly caused by contact with allergens, such as dampness in the genital area, or new underwear and sanitary napkins, leading to itching and rashes on the vulva. It is an allergic reaction, and the treatment is primarily focused on anti-allergy therapy. On the other hand, vulvitis is caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. The local symptoms of vulvitis can be similar to those of vulvar eczema, but the treatment mainly focuses on anti-infection therapy.
How to check for uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are a type of benign tumor of the female reproductive organs. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease and are frequently occurring; they can be clearly seen via abdominal ultrasound. Uterine fibroids mainly form due to the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue existing as a supportive tissue. If the fibroids do not exceed five centimeters and do not affect menstruation or present any clinical symptoms, conservative treatment can be considered, with attention to regular follow-up examinations.
What to eat to induce menstruation when it has stopped?
In cases of amenorrhea, it is advised to regularly drink fresh soy milk, which contains soy isoflavones, supplementing plant-based estrogens. Additionally, consuming royal jelly, which contains animal estrogens, as well as eating black beans, peanuts, and onions can be beneficial. Clinically, the most typical presentation of amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation or a sudden cessation of menstrual periods. There are many causes of amenorrhea, including menopausal syndrome, exposure to cold, fatigue, emotions, medications, diseases, bacterial infections, hormonal imbalances, and an increase in male hormones, all of which can lead to amenorrhea. Dietary adjustments should be noted, and if there is no improvement, it is necessary to visit a hospital for relevant examinations.
Can qi and blood deficiency lead to infertility?
Insufficient qi and blood can indirectly cause infertility. Symptoms of insufficient qi and blood include dizziness, weakness, poor sleep quality, and pale complexion. These conditions can lead to changes in menstruation, such as delays in the onset of periods and reduced menstrual flow; the color may also become lighter. There is a direct relationship between menstruation and infertility, which suggests that women with insufficient qi and blood may experience infertility symptoms due to this deficiency.
Ectopic pregnancy characteristics
Lower unilateral abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, and even after 50 days of pregnancy, the ultrasound still does not show the gestational sac implanted in the uterine cavity. An ultrasound can be used to understand the size and location of the gestational sac. The symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are often atypical. Some patients may experience shock due to heavy bleeding, with pale complexion and a drop in blood pressure. It is important to hospitalize timely for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy to prevent life-threatening severe bleeding. In cases of ectopic pregnancy, blood hCG levels may not increase.
What to drink for menstrual pain?
Women experiencing menstrual cramps can drink some hot soup, brown sugar water, or ginger sugar water. Additionally, using a heating pad can help warm the uterus. Drinking a cup of hot milk before bedtime during the menstrual period can also aid in sleep and alleviate symptoms of menstrual pain. Menstrual pain is a common gynecological condition among women, occurring before, after, or during menstruation, characterized by lower abdominal pain, a feeling of heaviness accompanied by lower back pain or other discomforts. Severe cases can impact the quality of life. During menstruation, women should maintain regular sleep patterns, avoid staying up late, eat a light diet, and refrain from consuming spicy or stimulating foods. Consumption of cold and chilled foods should be avoided, and additional care should be taken to keep the lower abdomen warm.
Is vulvar lichen sclerosus contagious?
Vulvar lichen sclerosus is non-contagious and cannot be cross-infected, but it is hereditary and can skip generations. Additionally, it is important to maintain hygiene during sexual intercourse, preferably using condoms, as this is beneficial for the condition. Furthermore, regular physical exercise should be undertaken to enhance the body's resistance and immunity. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, avoid using soap or irritating substances for cleansing the vulva, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
Can vulvitis heal itself?
Generally, vulvitis cannot be cured. Vulvitis is a common gynecological condition. Following vaginitis, symptoms include vulva swelling, pain, erosion, and itching, causing significant discomfort to the female body and potentially leading to other types of complications. Vulvitis is caused by infections of bacteria or viruses and requires medical treatment and care, usually not healing on its own. The treatment principle should focus on treating the primary disease, keeping the vulva clean and dry, and avoiding harmful irritations. Women with vulvitis are advised to wash the vulva daily with clean water to ensure cleanliness, wear loose cotton underwear, change and clean them regularly, and use appropriate medication for anti-inflammatory treatment.
