Gynecologist warned women about habits that destroy intimate health

Victoria Marinovskaya, a gynecologist at the Sberbank Health medical company, listed on Tuesday, May 12, several common daily habits that destroy women's health. The doctor warned that the use of synthetic underwear on a regular basis is harmful to women's health.

According to her, such clothes create favorable conditions for the reproduction of harmful microorganisms. Synthetic fabrics do not allow air to pass through well, maintaining humidity and heat, which are comfortable for the reproduction of fungi of the genus Candida.

In addition, frequent wearing of thongs also negatively affects a woman's health, as they make it easier for bacteria from the rectum to move into the vagina, which can cause recurrent candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis, she added.

Douching and the use of aggressive detergents also negatively affect women's intimate health, Marinovskaya added.

"Douching with soda or chamomile can lead to an imbalance of the microflora. Aggressive detergents and antiseptics destroy the protective layer of lactobacilli, thereby making the body vulnerable to infectious diseases," the gynecologist warned in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

She added that regular use of daily personal care products with perfumes can also harm your health. This habit can trigger the development of contact dermatitis: the cellulose layer does not allow the skin to breathe, and chemical flavors can cause irritation or allergic reactions.

You can't keep silent: what is important to talk about with a gynecologist

Gynecologist and reproductologist Maria Milyutina told the National News on April 21 that in Russia, women are increasingly coming to doctors to freeze their eggs, without waiting for the "prince" and without missing the reproductive age.

She noted that many women would like to have children in a strong family, but they understand that they may not find the right partner. Therefore, they decide to freeze their eggs in order to preserve the opportunity to become a mother in the future. 360.ru .

Earlier, on April 9, Svetlana Khlynova, associate professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Pirogov University of the Russian Ministry of Health, said that during menstruation it is worthwhile to consult a doctor if painkillers from the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, diclofenac or ibuprofen do not relieve pain.

In turn, Maria Milyutina, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the MD GROUP Clinical Hospital, warned that the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main provoker of cervical cancer.
