Gynecological diseases in women - what to fear
Gynecological diseases in women are by no means rare. The female reproductive system is very complex in its design, and there may be a wide variety of abnormalities. This is why gynecology is a separate, serious science, and the full range of female gynecological diseases will probably never be described.
However, a brief overview of the main diseases and the symptoms of the alleged disorders should be known to every woman.
Types of gynecological diseases
So, violations that are characteristic only of the female body, can be divided into three main groups:
- Tumor, hyperplastic and dystrophic. These are diseases in which neoplasms, both malignant and benign in nature, appear on the female genital organs: polyps, fibroids, dysplasias and the like;
- Endocrine. These diseases are caused by a violation of the hormonal background of a woman. In girls, they can grow into a variety of disorders of puberty, make it hindered or premature, and often there are failures of the menstrual cycle or even malformation of the genital organs. However, such diseases can be no less dangerous for adults, matured women: they may experience amenorrhea, premenstrual syndromes, uterine bleeding, and much more.
- Inflammatory. Gynecological inflammatory diseases differ, perhaps, the greatest variety: they have to be divided into three more subgroups. They are purulent-inflammatory( for example, adnexitis, endometritis, vulvitis), transmitted sexually( trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, candidiasis and many others) and viral( cytomegalovirus, genital herpes).
The most characteristic gynecological diseases: what is worth worrying about?
Gynecological diseases in women can occur at any age. Unfortunately, gynecological diseases in girls are not uncommon: as a rule, they are of an endocrine nature, in rare cases, tumors can also arise.
However, hormonal imbalances are most typical for girls who are still developing and do not have sex life: in adolescence, developmental delay or too rapid development is not uncommon, and an irregular menstrual cycle is found in almost every second girl. Despite the fact that many of these violations occur with age, with an irregular cycle it is worth consulting with a gynecologist. In general, the habit of visiting a gynecologist should be started at least once a year from the beginning of menstruation.
When a woman starts to lead a sexual life, inflammatory diseases manifest themselves to the fullest extent, but it is the easiest to prevent them. The easiest way to do this is if you wear the correct underwear( made from natural fabrics, not synthetic), comply with all standards of personal hygiene and protection measures for sexual acts. By the way, no contraceptive, except for a condom, can not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, so a condom should be used with any sexual partner if you do not fully trust in it.
As for the diseases leading to neoplasms, they can occur at any age, but older women are more likely to be at increased risk. Here, there can be only one recommendation: the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle and regular checks at the gynecologist.
What should I do if you are still sick? Do not worry! Now, literate gynecologists treat many diseases: drugs, procedures, special diet. By the way, sometimes even physiotherapy helps with gynecological diseases!
Therefore, there is always a way to be cured, and the main thing is to find one that suits you. The main thing - do not tighten. At the first signs like itching, burning in the genital area.violations of the menstrual cycle, pain - in general, any malfunctions - just contact a trusted doctor. And as soon as you find a good gynecologist, do not change it - it is very important to track the medical history in such situations.
