Does washing hair during menstruation increase the incidence of cervical cancer? What should you pay attention to in order to prevent cervical cancer?

For a long time, there have been rumors online that most cervical cancer patients have the habit of washing their hair during menstruation, and that washing hair during menstruation is not a problem of coldness, but this practice will cause incomplete uterine contraction, and the dirty blood that should be discharged is not discharged, and remains in the uterus. Over time, the secretion of hormones in the body is unbalanced, and long-term accumulation leads to cancer.

"There is no scientific basis for the claim that washing your hair during menstruation can easily lead to cervical cancer," said an expert.

Weibo said that the reason why menstrual shampoo can cause cervical cancer is unscientific:

First of all, menstrual blood is not dirty blood, but normal blood of the human body. In addition to blood, there are endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelium. Under the regulation of the hypothalamus, the endocrine center of the human body, estrogen and progesterone undergo cyclical changes in the body of sexually mature women. As these hormone levels increase, the endometrium thickens and ovulates, and if there is no sperm pregnancy, the hormone level will drop. At the same time, the endometrium is destroyed, collapsed, and shed due to the loss of hormonal support, forming menstruation.

Secondly, menstrual blood will not "remain" because once it is produced, it will enter the vagina from the cervix and then be discharged from the body.

Finally, we need to understand that most of the factors that affect uterine contraction are related to endocrine. Prostaglandins and thromboxanes secreted during menstruation can promote uterine contraction and stop bleeding. Of course, promoting menstrual blood discharge is also one of the results of uterine contraction, but if there is any reason for "incomplete uterine contraction", the consequence will be continuous vaginal bleeding instead of "residue" inside.

Experts say that the cause of cervical cancer is now very clear and is related to the HpA virus.

"If we must link washing hair during menstruation with cervical cancer, we can only say that women's immunity is low during menstruation, which may cause colds and lead to viral invasion. However, this statement is too far-fetched."

There are many factors that lead to cervical cancer, such as early marriage and childbearing, sexual disorder, multiple births, gynecological inflammation, etc., but they have nothing to do with washing your hair during menstruation.

What to pay attention to in preventing cervical cancer:

Advocating late marriage, fewer births, and better births. Delaying the age of starting sexual life and reducing the number of births can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.

2. What should you pay attention to in preventing cervical cancer? Actively treat cervicitis. If you have prolonged leucorrhea or abnormal vaginal bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately and take effective treatment measures.

3. Pay attention to sexual and menstrual hygiene. Properly control sexual life. Sexual intercourse is not suitable during menstruation and the postpartum period. Pay attention to the cleanliness of both parties' reproductive organs. It is best to wear condoms and reduce or eliminate multiple sexual partners.

4. What should be paid attention to in preventing cervical cancer? Regular gynecological examinations and cervical smears. It is recommended that married women have a gynecological examination and cervical cancer prevention examination once a year.

Cervical smear cytology is the simplest and most effective screening method, and colposcopy biopsy is the best diagnostic method.
