Pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to occur in winter. How can we prevent it?

When winter comes, when faced with a choice between beauty and temperature, those who choose beauty are likely to face the threat of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is more common during sexually active periods. Generally speaking, the chances of developing pelvic inflammatory disease are relatively lower before menarche, after menopause or in unmarried women. Women often have minor ailments in winter, but their resistance is reduced and when their physical condition is not good, pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to occur.

Of course, pelvic inflammatory disease cannot be entirely blamed on catching a cold in winter. Only by doing these four things well can we better protect our pelvic health.

1. Avoid bad sexual behavior

Pelvic inflammatory disease is more common during the sexually active period, which means that bad sexual habits are one of the main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Having sex too frequently, not paying attention to the cleanliness of both parties, and having sex during menstruation can easily bring foreign bacteria into the female body, causing the original balance of vaginal flora to be destroyed, and then causing gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

2Recurrent miscarriage

Don’t be fooled by the word “painless”, abortion can cause serious damage to women’s bodies!

After an abortion, it is very likely to cause irregular menstruation, cervical adhesions, endometrial damage and other problems, and even cause secondary infertility. If the abortion operation is improperly performed and infection is caused, pelvic inflammatory disease is likely to occur in the future.

For those who are not planning to get pregnant, please make sure to take contraceptive measures!

3. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene

Proper cleaning and care of the private parts is the basis for preventing various gynecological diseases.

During menstruation, the exfoliation of the endometrium will cause the blood sinus to expand, which is a great opportunity for bacteria to breed and multiply. Therefore, during menstruation, it is more necessary to pay attention to cleanliness, change sanitary pads frequently, and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation to reduce the risk of pathogen invasion. In addition, in daily care, you should avoid flushing the vagina, which will disrupt the original microecological balance of the vagina and cause gynecological inflammation.

4Daily care

In terms of daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, in addition to paying attention to your lifestyle and doing proper exercise to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your resistance, there are many small habits that may cause gynecological inflammation and need to be avoided.

In terms of diet, you need to avoid raw, cold and spicy food, and keep your waist and abdomen warm. In addition, office workers should avoid sitting for long periods of time to avoid affecting pelvic venous return.
