The female reproductive system is special and vulnerable and is vulnerable to infection from various strains. In the field of gynaecology, prevention of infection and rational antibacterial measures play a crucial role in safeguarding women ‘ s health.
I. Common pathways and types of gynaecological infections
1. Upper infections: this is the more common route for gynaecological infections. Bacteria go up from the vagina, through the cervix into the uterus, the fallopian tube and even the pelvic cavity. For example, during women ‘ s menstruation, the use of substandard hygiene supplies, or the prolonged non-replacement of sanitary towels, can easily cause bacteria in the vagina to breed in large quantities, leading to diseases such as uterine and tubal diseases. Sexual impurity is also a major contributing factor to upper mobility, and the disease carried by male genital organs can be brought into the female vagina in the course of sexual life and cause infection.
2. Medical-sourced infections: In the course of gynaecological examinations, operations or treatments, medical-sourced infections may occur if the medical device is not fully sterilized or is not properly operated. For example, when an abortion is performed, if the surgical device has not been severely sterilized, it may be brought into the uterus, causing post-operative infections and symptoms such as heat, abdominal pain, and vaginal secretion abnormalities.
II. Antibacterial strategies to prevent infection
1. Personal hygiene practices:
• Vulcan cleaning: women should use warm water to wash their vaginas daily and keep them clean and dry. However, care must be taken to avoid over-cleaning, such as frequent use of gynaecologists to wash vaginas, which are self-purified, and over-cleaning can disrupt the normal glucose balance within the vagina and increase the risk of infection. Some women, for example, believe that the washing is cleaner and that the long-term use is followed by signs such as vaginal itching and white-band anomalies, which are found to be fungal vaginal infatuation.
• Menstruation: menstruation is selected for high-quality, air-breathing sanitary towels and is replaced at regular intervals, usually every 2-3 hours. At the same time, menstruation avoids sexual activity and bathing and prevents bacteria from entering.
2. Sexual health and safety:
• Pre-cleaning: Both men and women should clean their genitals and reduce their bacterial loads before having sex.
• Proper use of condoms: condoms not only act as a contraceptive but also reduce to some extent the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, etc. For example, studies have shown that couples who insist on the correct use of condoms have significantly reduced the probability of women contracting gynaecological sexually transmitted diseases.
3. Prevention of infection in health care:
• Choice of formal health-care facilities: women are required to choose formal, credible health-care facilities for gynaecological examinations, treatment or surgery. Formal hospitals have a strict regulatory system for the disinfection of medical devices, operational norms, etc., which can effectively reduce the risk of medically transmitted infections.
• Following medical instructions: After a gynaecology operation, the patient is strictly instructed by the doctor to provide care, such as the timely use of anti-bacterial drugs to prevent infection, take care of rest and avoid early sexual activity.
III. Case analysis
Ms. Lee performed an abortion at a small clinic. Soon after the surgery, she suffered from high heat, severe pain in her lower abdomen, and a large sepsis in her vagina. She was examined by a major hospital and suffered from serious pelvic inflammation due to the insufficiency of surgical equipment in a small clinic, resulting in bacterial infections. Ms. Lee had to undergo long periods of anti-bacterial treatment, suffered considerable physical pain and was at risk of infertility.
Ms. Zhang performed the same procedure in the regular hospital, where she was subjected to a full pre-operative examination and preparation, in which the principle of sterile operation was strictly observed and the equipment was strictly disinfected. After the surgery, Ms. Zhang was given detailed information about her care, and Ms. Zhang took it seriously. She recovered quickly and there were no complications of infection.
The contrast between these two cases is a good example of how important it is in the field of gynaecology, whether in terms of personal hygiene, sexual safety or health care, to comply with the right prevention measures. Women friends should raise their own health awareness and take active anti-bacterial measures to protect their reproductive health.
