However, many so-called "feminine care products" may be IQ taxes.
As a product known as "conditioning" breast hyperplasia, breast enhancement has been very popular in recent years. This product claims that it can solve the swelling pain by sticking plaster, and it can also cure the problems such as hyperplasia of mammary glands and nodules. It even claims that "there is no need to take medicine for mild symptoms and surgery for severe ones".
In fact, the vast majority of breast hyperplasia, only need to do regular breast examination, adjust lifestyle and eating habits, without excessive worry.
Shao Zhimin, director of the Department of Major Surgery and Director of Breast Surgery, Fudan University Cancer Hospital, pointed out in an article in Health Times on April 7, 201/that breast hyperplasia is a physiological change of the breast, which rarely causes cancer and does not need deliberate treatment.
Periodic breast pain is the result of simultaneous regulation of estrogen and progesterone. Simply put, estrogen will make the glands and ducts of the breast proliferate, while progesterone will make them quit involution, so the breast will experience the process of proliferation and involution every month. Sometimes the involution of the last cycle has not passed, and the proliferation of the next cycle will come. Coupled with fatigue, bad mood and other effects, it is easy to cause irregular proliferation of breast cells, but rarely develop into cancer in this process. It is suggested that patients over 35 years old with mammary gland hyperplasia should have 1 molybdenum palladium examination every year. ①
Therefore, if some women feel a lump in their breasts, or have slight breast pain and nipple itching, what they need to do is to have regular checkups to maintain a good mood and a stable work and rest, instead of using auxiliary products.
Of course, there are fewer cases of breast hyperplasia that may become cancerous, especially those with high-risk factors such as family history. For these people, they can be identified by some imaging and pathological examinations, and can be prevented and controlled before cancer.
On the contrary, if you believe these propaganda and don't go to a regular hospital, just buy a similar product and paste it yourself, it is likely that it will not only have no therapeutic effect, but also delay the examination or treatment that should be done, delay the illness and lead to more serious consequences.
Ovarian care has become a hot item in major beauty salons in recent years. The main reason is that merchants promote that "ovarian care" has many functions, such as egg health care, delaying aging, regulating dysmenorrhea, regulating menstrual disorders, enhancing sexual interest, etc ... Among them, the essential oil needed for ovarian massage is indispensable.
Generally speaking, the whole ovarian maintenance process is roughly like this: first, the abdominal skin is deeply cleaned and moisturized, then all kinds of essential oils are applied for massage, then wrapped in plastic film, finally wiped clean, and then some tight and elastic essential oils are applied for massage.
But the question is, can essential oil really penetrate and have the effect of maintaining ovaries?
The answer may disappoint many people. Yang Xin, chief physician of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking University People's Hospital, introduced in the February 201February Health Times that under normal circumstances, the ovary is located in the pelvic cavity, with the bladder in front and the rectum in the back, so it can't be touched when lying down. Therefore, the general massage technique can't touch the ovary at all, and the essential oil can't penetrate into the skin at most, which has no effect on the ovary. ②
Therefore, the "ovarian massage essential oil" is not reliable, and it does not play a role in maintaining the ovaries at all.
Even if many products don't have any functions and effects, people who don't know will think it has miraculous effects, such as adding words such as quantum, far infrared ray, negative ion and nanometer. But in fact, many gimmicks just to attract consumers have no effect, such as far-infrared underwear.
Far-infrared underwear claims to have added substances that can release far-infrared rays, so it can play a role in physical therapy. Far infrared can really play the role of physical therapy, so it sounds reasonable and advanced, but is the so-called far infrared underwear really reliable?
Jin Yinlong, a professor at the Institute of Environmental and Health-related Product Safety of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview with the media in 2007 that infrared rays are invisible to the naked eye and have obvious thermal effects, which can be divided into near infrared rays and far infrared rays. Any object can produce far-infrared radiation, but the excitation temperature is different. Many far-infrared thermal underwear on the market are made of various oxides (such as calcium oxide, magnesium, iron, etc. ) and woven into underwear according to different formulas.
Moreover, the temperature required for ceramic fibers to generate far-infrared radiation is generally above 40℃. That is to say, even if people wear ceramic fiber underwear and are "burned to death" by high heat, it is difficult to produce far infrared rays. Under the same conditions, the far-infrared radiation produced by ceramic fiber is worse than that of ordinary polyester. If the materials are not selected properly, radioactive substances may also be brought into clothes, causing harm to the human body.
In recent years, the slogan of "washing healthier" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so it has become the truth that many women believe in.
If you want to avoid gynecological diseases, the most important thing is to pay attention to the hygiene of private parts and maintain good living habits: wash at least once a day, boil water or take a bath at a suitable temperature; There should be special towels and special washing tools to avoid cross infection; Change underwear frequently, towels and underwear should be fully disinfected.
If women have problems such as discomfort in private parts, they must go to the hospital to consult a doctor instead of buying some lotion to wash themselves.
Many women will face a problem-vaginal relaxation after giving birth or getting older. At this time, various beauty institutions will recommend you to "shrink the needle". Wang Xiaorong, Deputy Chief Physician of Obstetrics, Beijing Maternity Hospital, introduced in an article in the July issue of 2065438+2009 Health Times that many people think that acupuncture has a remarkable effect on the surface, but acupuncture is often equivalent to a pattern of death. The composition of vagina-shrinking needle is polyacrylamide or tissue hardener polyacrylamide, which was banned in China in 2006. After injecting polyacrylamide, the vagina will become hard, infected and purulent, and gradually form a vaginal fistula. Moreover, polyacrylamide has fluidity and is difficult to take out. Will flow to the rectum and bladder, forming urinary fistula, bladder fistula and rectocele fistula. ④
In addition to the so-called various products of shrinking Yin in the market, such as shrinking Yin gel, shrinking Yin suppository, shrinking Yin dew for external use, shrinking Yin capsules and shrinking Yin pills for oral use, most of them claim to be natural Chinese herbal medicines, which are non-toxic and harmless, but in fact they are basically estrogen or estrogen-like components. After using this product, there are not only risks of vaginal infection, but also problems such as irregular menstruation, vaginal wall hyperplasia and obesity. Severe cases may also cause diseases such as vaginal tumors, ovarian tumors, uterine fibroids, and breast tumors.
In addition, in some beauty salons, there is also a "bare-handed vaginal contraction" project, which sounds very advanced, but in fact, bare-handed vaginal contraction is some massage techniques plus hip pulling, but these actions have no practical effect.
When it comes to products that can "detoxify", it is bound to catch fire. "Sticking to the soles of feet can detoxify and eliminate dampness, and can also treat rheumatic leg pain, shoulder and neck pain, insomnia and so on." The foot patch that claims to be able to protect health and cure diseases is a common one.
Because after pasting, the place really turned black, so many people thought that the toxin was discharged. However, in fact, the blackening of the foot pad is related to its main components. Foot stickers generally contain bamboo vinegar, bamboo charcoal, platycodon grandiflorum and other extracts, which will turn black when soaked in water and oxidized.
When we apply the foot patch to the sole of the foot, it is soaked by the sweat on the sole and oxidized and discolored, which becomes what everyone calls the phenomenon of "moisture being sucked out". ⑤
Therefore, the foot patch does not have the detoxification effect of publicity. In fact, it's all chemical tricks, and it's all IQ tax.
