Women’s greatest fear is gynecological diseases. When encountering vaginal issues, the most feared scenario at the hospital is seeing a male doctor. The majority of women, as well as men, find it extremely awkward for a male doctor to treat gynecological patients. However, in the eyes of doctors, the vagina is simply an organ. Their common response is, “Quickly, we are all doctors, what haven’t we seen, hurry up and undress! Don’t waste time!” But this statement can be very hurtful. In the eyes of women, the vagina is not just an organ but also a privacy that should be respected.
What habits are prone to gynecological diseases?
First, let’s understand the behaviors in daily life that are likely to trigger gynecological diseases. Girls must pay attention.
1. Long fingernails
Hidden in the crevices of long nails are a large amount of fungus. A little carelessness, scratching the body or touching undergarments, can lead fungus into the vagina. Due to the structure of the female urinary and reproductive system, they are extremely vulnerable to these pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, women should regularly clean their nails.
2. Prolonged sitting on the toilet
Nowadays, many people enjoy sitting on the toilet for a long time reading or using their phones, but this is not advisable. When sitting on the toilet, a closed space is formed between the body and toxic substances. Over time, these toxic gases can cause hemorrhoids, anal inflammation, chronic vaginitis, and even gynecological diseases like cervical cancer.
3. Wearing tight pants
Tight pants are essential for fashion-conscious girls, but when tightly wrapped around the lower body, they hinder air circulation, increase moisture in the private area, promote the growth and reproduction of bacteria, and easily induce vaginitis. Therefore, girls are advised not to wear tight pants for extended periods and to ensure proper ventilation for their private parts.
How to prevent gynecological diseases?
Moxibustion is widely acknowledged as the best method to treat female gynecological diseases.
Moxibustion has a history of over two thousand years in China, and its therapeutic effects have been confirmed through numerous clinical practices. The mechanism behind moxibustion is still a mystery.
Ancient medical texts like the “Compendium of Materia Medica” pointed out that mugwort can “stop bleeding, calm the fetus, and relieve abdominal pain.” In fact, mugwort leaves have more therapeutic effects, including treating gynecological diseases.
Why can moxibustion treat various gynecological diseases?
Most gynecological diseases are caused by coldness, dampness, qi stagnation, blood stasis, blocked meridians, or blood deficiency. It is like having a poor internal environment or weather conditions. Just like the cold and damp weather without sunshine or the icy winter, over time, if the body environment is not good, qi stagnation and blood stasis can occur, meridians may become blocked, metabolic waste cannot be expelled, fresh blood cannot be transported properly, leading to various diseases.
