As long as you don't feel abnormal, it means you're not infected
Incorrect questioning
The most common infection of the reproductive tract is vaginitis, which is said to affect 80% of adult women to varying degrees. Its typical symptoms include excessive leucorrhea, a peculiar smell, and itching of the vulva. After a period of treatment, these discomfort also disappears. As a result, many women have formed the view that as long as they do not feel uncomfortable, it indicates that they have not contracted reproductive tract infections. Is it like this?
√ Correct statement
This view is wrong and even dangerous.
Research has found that many reproductive tract infections in women are asymptomatic, and the more severe the consequences of the disease, the more likely it is to have no clinical symptoms and signs. For example, gonococcal infection can cause serious consequences such as ectopic pregnancy and infertility, but more than 50% of infected women do not have any conscious symptoms.
The absence of symptoms does not mean that there is no infection, and the disease is still quietly developing, which can be transmitted to others through sexual contact and can cause irreversible damage to oneself.
Preventive measures
1. Regular gynecological examinations. The initiative of the World Health Organization is that every adult woman receive at least two gynecological examinations from a professional doctor every year to detect lesions as soon as possible.
