On the International Gynecologist's Day, we are debunking myths about this branch of medicine with Sholpan Aliyeva, a gynecologist of the highest category, senior doctor of the Department of Surgery of our hospital.
1️. Male gynecologists are better than women
This profession is not divided into genders, experience, empathy, and professionalism are important. However, women gynecologists themselves do not go to male colleagues.
2️. "You will give birth and everything will pass, you will get married and everything will pass"
A husband, pregnancy, and children are not a cure. Painful periods, for example, can be a symptom of endometriosis — a serious chronic condition that requires treatment. Ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids also do not disappear after childbirth and intimacy.
3️. Erosion is treated by cauterization
Erosion is most often ectopia, which is a variant of the norm, especially in young women. In fact, the tissue covering the cervix from the inside looks out, and we see a bright red spot on the cervix when viewed in mirrors. The fact that it is bright red does not mean inflammation or any pathology.
