Sex is still in a difficult stage in China, so many people only know the surface of sexually transmitted diseases and do not know their connotations. I don't even know how to prevent and treat it. Due to the influence of traditional ideas, many women are afraid to discuss sex, to the extent that they hold incorrect beliefs about health care in sexual life. Let's take a look at some misconceptions that can easily lead to sexual health.
One of the misconceptions is that everything is okay after passing the routine gynecological examination
In China, this situation is more common. A gynecologist told us that in gynecological clinics, only a few people voluntarily request doctors to undergo tests for sexually transmitted diseases.
Misconception 2: If you have a sexually transmitted disease, you will definitely feel it
This is a completely wrong understanding. Many sexually transmitted diseases (such as papillomavirus, chlamydia infection, herpes, etc.) often silently harm the human body, and patients themselves have no abnormal feelings. Compared to men, these diseases are more hidden in the female body and less easily detected in a timely manner.
The third misconception is that without ejaculation, one cannot conceive; Having sexual intercourse during menstruation also prevents pregnancy
The contraceptive method of coitus interruptus is quite dangerous. The lubricant (prostatic fluid) secreted by our lover in "foreplay" contains part of semen. Moreover, do not place too much hope on a man's control ability. It is difficult to ensure that he is safe by pulling out his body before orgasm. In fact, most men experience ejaculation, and the number and mobility of sperm are sufficient to cause pregnancy. If you ejaculate in the external genitalia without entering the vagina, it is not without the possibility of pregnancy. Active sperm may enter the vagina and continue to move towards the uterus. Additionally, it is generally believed that there is no need to worry about pregnancy during menstruation. But the fact is: there are indeed precedents of pregnancy due to menstrual intercourse.
Mistake 4: Continuous use of contraceptives can not only stop menstruation, but also reduce the risk of breast cancer
I only said the first half of the sentence correctly. We know that continuous use of contraceptive pills can temporarily stop menstruation. Moreover, according to relevant records, women with less menstruation have a low rate of breast cancer, but this is not as simple as one plus one equals two. In fact, continuous use of contraceptives does not reduce the risk of breast cancer, because:
Misconception number five: using contraceptives will prevent infection with sexually transmitted diseases
Among numerous contraceptive tools, only condoms have this dual function, which can prevent both contraception and sexually transmitted diseases.
Misconception 6: oral contraceptives are harmful to the body
For women who smoke, oral contraceptives do pose certain risks, as they may become victims of diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Non smoking women do not need to worry about this issue at all.
