Xiao Li is young and handsome and has a considerate and gentle girlfriend, who is the envy of many people, but in fact, Xiao Li is also has his suffering.

I thought I could live a happy life with my girlfriend after living together, but I didn't expect my girlfriend to get gynecological inflammation and itching in her private parts once she used a condom, which was very uncomfortable.

Despite changing a few different brands of condoms, ultimately the same result. Xiao Li is very confused, can condoms also lead to gynecological diseases?

Can the use of condoms lead to gynecological diseases?

For women, changes in the ph value of the private parts are likely to have an impact on reproductive health. Under normal circumstances, the ph value of women's private parts is weakly acidic, which can effectively inhibit and engulf harmful germs in this environment, and is a barrier against the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms.

If the normal ph value is changed, it is easy to reduce the defense of the private parts, thus triggering a variety of gynecological diseases. The following 3 behaviors are often common factors that lead to ph imbalance in women's private parts.

Long-term use of condoms with alkaline lubricants

Most of the condoms sold on the market contain dimethicone oil, a lubricant, and methicone oil is a weak alkaline substance, which is difficult to clean after use, resulting in residual methicone oil in the female private parts and disrupting the acid-base balance, increasing the occurrence of gynecological diseases.

Intercourse is too frequent

The ph value of male semen is between 7.2 and 7.8, if intercourse is too frequent, it is easy to multiply pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and gattibacter, resulting in the destruction of the acid-base balance of the female private parts and inducing gynecological diseases.

Improper cleaning

Not paying attention to the cleaning of the private parts is also easy to induce gynecological diseases, because the private parts can be in contact with urine and secretions every day, these substances, if attached to the skin in the private parts, easy to cause skin irritation, coupled with the warm and humid environment of the private parts, very easy to breed bacteria, which is also an important cause of gynecological diseases.

In addition, some women are used to cleaning their private parts with alkaline cleaning solution for a long time, which can easily destroy the weak acidic environment of the private parts, leading to dysbiosis and inducing gynecological diseases.

The regular production of condoms does not cause gynecological diseases, and women's private parts can purify themselves. However, when choosing or using condoms, one should pay attention to these two aspects.

On the one hand, the lubricants on condoms are usually divided into three types, namely water-based, oil-based and silicon-based lubricants, with water-based lubricants being the most common. If you buy a water-based lubricant condom, you should be careful to choose a product that is not too thick in content, and it is best to choose a product that ranks first in the ingredient list for water.

On the other hand, if you are allergic to rubber, you can choose polyurethane condoms; people who are allergic to fragrance or mint should not use condoms that contain fragrance or mint.

Without sex, you can also get gynecological diseases

Many people think that gynecological diseases are caused by sex, but, even if you don't have sex, you can still get gynecological diseases because many factors cause them.

Abuse of cleaning solution

The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.

Unhealthy habits

Staying up late can affect the operation of the body's qi and blood, reducing resistance and thus increasing the chances of gynecological diseases.

Many women usually love to wear tight pants, but wearing tight pants will cause the private parts not to breathe, plus the warm and humid environment will easily cause vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, and other gynecological diseases.

Low estrogen levels

After menopause, women's estrogen level decreases, and the body's resistance is affected, leading to endocrine disorders, creating an opportunity for germs to invade and easily cause gynecological diseases.

Drug abuse

Drug abuse is also one of the causes of gynecological diseases, such as long-term abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics can inhibit the lactobacillus bacteria in women's private parts, disrupting the balance of the internal environment in the private parts, thus triggering gynecological diseases such as vaginitis.

Self-test against: 4 tips to tell if you have gynecological diseases

If you want to know whether you are suffering from gynecological diseases, you can check yourself in the following aspects.

Look at the secretions

Women can look at their health status by observing the secretions, such as the color and smell of the leucorrhea. Under normal circumstances, the leucorrhea is milky white or colorless and transparent, odorless, or with a slightly fishy smell.

Many gynecological diseases may cause abnormal secretions, such as bean curd-like leucorrhea may be mycotic vaginitis; yellowish leucorrhea with foul odor may be trichomoniasis; yellow-green leucorrhea may be bacterial infection; bloody leucorrhea needs to be alert to cervical polyps, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, etc.

Look at menstruation

Many women experience irregular menstruation. Painful menstruation, delayed or early menstruation, excessive or scanty menstruation, prolonged menstruation, amenorrhea, etc. are all symptoms of irregular menstruation.

For example, excessive menstruation may be caused by endometrial lesions, endometrial polyps, adenomyosis, and submucosal fibroids; low menstrual flow may be caused by endocrine disorders, endometrial lesions, uterine dysplasia, tumors, and other diseases; amenorrhea may also be caused by gynecological diseases, such as premature ovarian failure, ovarian tumors, and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Look at the pain

Some gynecological diseases will show symptoms of pain. Lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, pelvic pain, etc. may be signals from gynecological diseases. For example, when women experience pain in the lower abdomen, they need to be alert to the possibility that they may be suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease.

Look for bleeding

Usually, you should pay attention to abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially when unexplained blood appears after amenorrhea, which may be closely related to diseases such as uterine and ovarian lesions and endocrine disorders. The more common diseases include endometritis, senile vaginitis, cervical polyps, endometrial polyps, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, malignant ovarian tumors, etc.

In short, the occurrence of gynecological diseases is related to many factors, women should pay attention to prevention in general and avoid doing things that are prone to gynecological diseases.
