There are still many myths about the female sex system, which often recur in everyday life, on web pages or even in the gynecology office. These false beliefs can lead to incorrect decisions, affect mental and physical health, or cause shame without any basis. Julia Mudra, a gynecologist-endocrinologist, denies 10 commonly heard myths about a female sexual system, sexual health and intimate processes. Find out what is true and what is just a myth.
Myth: Health is necessary to have sex
The truth is that a woman’s sexual health does not depend on whether she has an intimate relationship or not. Although emotional connection and psychological well -being can be important for well -being, physiologically, the body remains healthy even without sex.
Myth: A healthy vagina has no odor
In fact, every healthy vagina has a natural, acidic odor. It shows the presence of normal lactation bacteria that support microflora. The strength of the odor can be determined by the phase, sweating, nutrition, wearing underwear and other factors.
Myth: The vagina needs to be washed from the inside
The vagina is a self -cleaning organ, so it is not necessary to wash it from the inside – and you should not even need it. It is sufficient to take care of the hygiene of the external genitalia (vulva) by gentle means. Excessive washing or aggressive hygiene can disrupt the natural microflora.
Myth: PMS all women cause “hysteria”
Before menstruation changes in hormone ratios may feel increased sensitivity or mood swings, but this is not the rule. The reaction to the cycle changes is very individual – the intensity of PMS symptoms depends on the hormonal balance and genetics.
Myth: Klimax always begins after 50
The age of menopause may be different for each woman. He is influenced by genetics, ovarian reserve, as well as certain treatments. Therefore, menopause can begin both much earlier and later than usual.
Myth: a film film – evidence of virginity
The condition of the girl’s film cannot show exactly whether the woman had sex. Its shape and elasticity are individual – sometimes it may not be overwhelmed during sexual intercourse. It also has nothing to do with other forms of intimacy.
Myth: It is impossible to get pregnant during menstruation
The likelihood of pregnancy during menstruation is lower but is not zero. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in a woman’s body, and if ovulation occurs unusually early, fertilization can occur even during menstruation.
Myth: Frequent sex expands the vagina
The vagina is an elastic muscle organ that temporarily adapts to different forms. It does not “stretch” constantly, even with frequent sexual intercourse. Return elasticity is its natural property.
Myth: Vaginal discharge means a problem
Vaginal discharge is a common physiological phenomenon showing that the vaginal microflora works properly. The quantity and consistency may vary depending on the phase of the cycle. Discomfort, unusual color or odor may indicate a disorder, not the discharge itself.
Mitas: Vagina is a vulva – the same
These concepts are often confused, but actually mark different things. Vulva is the external genitals, and the vagina (vagina) is an inner muscle canal passing from vulva to the cervix. Understanding the difference is important for both hygiene and health in general.
