Hello friends, Teresa is on duty today~
Welcome to the new issue of “Berry has the answer”, from the pelvic floor muscle repair instrument to the silver ion gel, the girls who are concerned about “Obstetrics and Gynecology” In this issue, we will specifically take it out for discussion.
Are they “friends of women” or “IQ taxes”? Let’s listen to what Dr. Aunt Weng has to say.
In this issue you will see:
Is the pelvic floor muscle repair instrument an IQ tax?
After using the product after menopause, menstruation again?
Can silver ion gel cure yin inflammation?
Can probiotic products improve women’s private health?
It is well known that pregnancy and childbirth can cause women’s pelvic floor relaxation to varying degrees, and in severe cases, urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse may occur. Therefore, doctors usually advise pregnant mothers to do levator ani exercise during pregnancy and after delivery, also known as Kegel exercise, which aims to train pelvic floor muscles and strengthen muscle support.
However, many women’s Kegel movements are not completely correct, and it is difficult to persist for a long time, so it gives the “home muscle repair instrument” an opportunity. Let’s not talk about whether the “pelvic floor repair instrument” will step on the thunder, let’s learn how to do the correct pelvic floor repair.
Most hospitals will perform a physical examination to assess the postpartum pelvic floor muscles at the 42-day postpartum review. There are indeed some young mothers whose children are born with low birth weight, the delivery process is very smooth, and the pelvic floor muscle strength is still good. Such people may only need to pay attention to their daily habits and avoid weight-bearing or prolonged coughing that increases abdominal pressure. , and do some Kegel exercises on a regular basis.

But for women who have obvious relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, or the levator ani movement does not exert force, the hospital will recommend some related pelvic floor recovery treatments. The most commonly used is the electrical stimulation biofeedback method. Electrical stimulation is a yin tract probe placed in the private parts, pudendal nerve is electrically stimulated to make the pelvic floor muscles contract, which plays the role of passive exercise.
In addition to passive exercise, sometimes under the guidance of a doctor, active muscle tightening and relaxation exercises are performed, and with EMG biofeedback , with the help of feedback data, identify and judge whether the contraction is correct, so as to master the correct method of contraction and relaxation.
The treatment mode of the hospital will vary according to the individual’s pelvic floor status. The treatment time is about twice a week. After clarifying the treatment plan and the correct method After that, the more important thing is to persevere.
Should I start with a pelvic floor muscle repair instrument? I think for women with less self-discipline, the instrument can play an auxiliary role to a certain extent
strong>, help us persevere.
For those with obvious pelvic floor muscle relaxation, it is best to go to the hospital first and determine the individual treatment plan under the guidance of professionals. After the correct method, the instrument can be used as an auxiliary product during the treatment interval to further consolidate the treatment effect and help us to persevere.
Menopause is the last menstrual period in a woman’s life. It is a retrospective concept and generally requires 12 months after the last menstrual period to be confirmed. A year has passed after a period, and there is no menstrual cramps. In medicine, we can call it menopause, which means the ultimate failure of ovarian function.
In clinical practice, it is more common that ovarian function began to decline, but did not eventually fail. I thought it was menopause, but menstrual cramps occurred within a year. This situation cannot be attributed to true menopause.

Real postmenopausal bleeding should not occur in the yin tract, which means that it has been more than a year or more since the last menstrual period, and the bleeding occurs again. In such a situation, doctors usually need to consider: 1 whether there is a disease, especially endometrial cancer or cervical cancer, the bleeding comes from lesions, not menstruation; 2 is to see Check for hormone medications (estrogen and progesterone) or foods that contain hormones.
After natural menopause, some women will experience menopausal symptoms, which are often referred to as menopausal symptoms. Under the guidance of a doctor, some hormonal drugs can be taken to relieve symptoms. There will be bleeding in the yin tract. With this treatment, the total amount of hormones ingested in the body is under the control of the doctor and is known, and the doctor will order regular physical examination, Make sure that treatment gives us the benefits and avoids the downsides of hormone therapy.
Unwittingly ingesting hormone-added foods, or so-called “health supplements,” is an even more dire situation. First of all, in this case the amount of hormones ingested is not clear, and we do not check regularly, just subjectively feel better, and know nothing about the actual health situation. So if there is a real problem, it is difficult to detect in time, and it is likely to cause serious injury.
All in all, if you experience abnormal bleeding after menopause, you must go to the hospital for examination to detect possible diseases in time.
Fungal vasculitis (VVC) is also known as fungal vasculitis. The causative microorganism is Candida, which has a special The good news is that non-inflammatory Candida species can be identified in the lower genital tract of 10% to 20% of healthy reproductive-age women, 6% to 7% of menopausal women, and 3% to 6% of prepubertal girls.
That is to say, fungal yinitis common in sexually active women of childbearing age, but some single women who are not sexually active can also develop the disease, so it is usually not strict considered a sexually transmitted disease.
For the treatment of fungal sinusitis, domestic guidelines recommend fluconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole, etc., which can be taken orally or topical (follow the doctor’s advice). , do not take medication without authorization). According to the severity of clinical symptoms, frequency of occurrence, fungal species, etc., it is divided into simple and complex VVC, and complex VVC often requires prolonged treatment time.
Complicated VVC requires examination of other causes in addition to the adjustment of treatment time: abnormal blood sugar or poor blood sugar control in diabetes; use of broad-spectrum antibiotics; use of oral contraceptives Drugs or hormone therapy, leading to increased estrogen levels in the body; those who use glucocorticoids or other immunosuppressive drugs, etc.

Silver ions, as a sterilization product, have been widely used in skin and mucous membrane disinfection, surface disinfection and air disinfection. However, it can only be seen from a few research reports as a drug for yin ductitis, and it is used to assist other drugs in the treatment of yin ductitis or cervicitis. The number of cases included in the article is small, and it cannot be used as an evidence-based basis. Not recommended in clinical guidelines.
So here, I suggest that when you encounter yin inflammation, it is best to choose a regular hospital for treatment. If the symptoms do not improve after treatment, you should return to the The hospital reassessed whether the treatment was ineffective or had other types of infection, so that timely adjustment of the treatment plan was possible.
I have recently noticed that some businesses claim that oral probiotics can play a role in balancing the flora of the yin tract. The probiotics that enter the digestive tract are activated in the intestinal tract, and after activation, they can migrate to the yin tract to play a role. , so it is recommended that women can take one tablet a day to maintain women’s health.
This set of rhetoric has confused many women. Are probiotic products really so magical and effective?
First of all, the microecology in the yin tract and intestinal tract is an integral part of the microecological environment in the human body. The supplementation of intestinal microecological regulators is often used as an adjunct to the treatment of intestinal flora imbalance, but whether the supplementation of intestinal probiotics can benefit the reproductive tract, that is, whether the probiotics in the intestinal tract can migrate to the Yin said, I think it should be suspicious.
Because there are clear physical isolation barriers such as mucus layer and mucosal layer in the intestinal tract, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for intestinal flora to reach the intestinal mucosa through the mucus layer. In addition, there is a large amount of blood in the human body. The immune cells that enter the bloodstream will be eliminated by the body’s immune cells as “foreign objects”, so probiotics supplemented by the intestinal tract are theoretically difficult to penetrate through multiple layers of tissue and reach the reproductive tract.

The second point is when to use probiotics.
According to the recommendations of the Chinese guidelines for the treatment of yinitis, Trichomonas yinitis should choose nitroimidazole drugs, such as metronidazole or tinidazole; Fungal yinitis should choose antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole, miconazole, etc. Probiotics are not recommended as a treatment for these two diseases.
Lactobacillus supplementation can be used to assist in restoring the balance of vaginal microecology in the treatment of aerobic bacterial yinitis and bacterial yin duct disease, which can consolidate the curative effect and prevent it. .
But not all yin inflammatory disease requires the use of probiotics, even if they are needed, they should be used as an adjunct under the premise of drug treatment. Normal women do not need probiotics when yin tract is in a balanced state.
In summary, yin probiotics are not a panacea, nor can they be used as daily health care products for treating diseases without disease prevention. At times, the best option is to seek symptomatic treatment from a doctor.
As for the treatment of yinitis after oral delivery of supplemented flora to the private parts, it is better to adjust the intestinal flora to improve overall immunity and disease resistance strong>, may also have some effects on the prevention of yin inflammation. (Ah, bad, it seems to provide merchants with a product promotion idea… Cover your face.jpg)
In short, friends, don’t go to the doctor in a hurry, Go directly to the hospital if there is a problem, and get twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, don’t worry too much. If you don’t have health problems, you want to “prepare for a rainy day”. It’s really unnecessary.
