Three behaviors can cause vaginal lacerations, don’t say you don’t know any of them!

The ovaries are important reproductive organs for women, and are closely related to women’s health and appearance. So protecting your ovaries can not only keep you healthy, but also make you beautiful. So what are the causes of vaginal lacerations and infertility?

Ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are not easily detected by patients for two reasons. First, some ovarian cysts are physiological, formed by the aggregation of follicles during the female ovulation period. They often disappear automatically after a few months and do not attract the attention of infertile women. Another reason is that there are almost no particularly obvious symptoms after suffering from ovarian cysts. At most, there will be symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, frequent urination, back pain, fatigue, menstrual disorders, etc., which are easily ignored or misdiagnosed. But the harm of this disease to pregnancy is still very obvious. Data show that ovarian cysts can affect ovarian function and may cause fallopian tube obstruction, all of which can affect pregnancy. Research data shows that the risk of infertility in women with ovarian cysts can be as high as 40%. Even if you become pregnant, the large ovarian cyst may squeeze the uterus and affect its growth, leading to miscarriage or premature birth.

Expert tips: Married women of childbearing age should undergo regular physical examinations, especially gynecological pelvic examinations and B-ultrasound examinations, which is also the best time to detect ovarian cysts in a timely manner. The chance of pregnancy with ovarian cysts is relatively small, only 0.1%-0.2%, and most of these cysts are benign, so expectant mothers do not need to worry too much. The best way is to follow the doctor's advice and strictly carry out prenatal examinations and treatments.

Polycystic ovary syndrome

It is reported that most patients with polycystic ovary syndrome are women aged 22-31, which is related to genetics. This disease is an endocrine disorder rather than an organic disease, and the symptoms can be relieved by taking medication. The most obvious symptom is menstrual disorders, even amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and anovulation. If you conduct examinations and tests, you will find that the ovaries are enlarged, the male hormone level is high, the luteinizing hormone level is elevated, and the follicle-stimulating hormone level is decreased. This can lead to abnormal ovarian function, irregular ovulation or even no ovulation, thus causing infertility.

Expert Tip: Director Chen of Guangzhou Women's Hospital recommends that women with polycystic ovary syndrome should get pregnant earlier, because young people have stronger ovarian function and have a greater chance of successful pregnancy. Moreover, pregnancy will also have a positive impact on the recovery of polycystic ovary syndrome. "Even if you can't get pregnant successfully, don't be too anxious." She said that modern medical technology can provide a lot of help to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Use drugs to induce ovulation, and then use artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and other technologies to help conception.

Endometriosis

Judging from the name, this disease seems to have nothing to do with the ovaries, but in fact, the ovaries are the most common site for external endometriosis to occur. There are two types of endometriosis. One is internal endometriosis, which means that endometriosis occurs in the uterus. The other is external endometriosis, which refers to endometriosis to tissues or organs outside the uterus, including ovaries, peritoneum, etc. The probability of external endometriosis occurring in the ovaries is 80%. Common symptoms include heavy menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc. Because endometriosis may cause adhesions around the fallopian tubes and affect the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes or cause blockage of the fallopian tubes, resulting in infertility. In addition, endometriosis to the ovaries may also affect the function of the ovaries, causing ovarian lesions and abnormal ovulation, which may also lead to infertility.
