Adolescence is an exciting and changing time in a young woman's life. As you undergo physical and emotional transformations, it is essential to take care of your health in all areas, including gynecological. At the Centre Medic i Pediàtric Gemma Morera, we are here to provide you with guidance and advice to maintain optimal gynecological health during this phase of your life.
Know your body:
It is important to understand how your body works and how it changes during adolescence. Research basic anatomy, the menstrual cycle and normal differences in your genital area. This will help you recognize any unusual changes and communicate better with health care professionals.
2. Maintain proper hygiene:
Maintaining good intimate hygiene is essential to prevent infection and maintain optimal gynecological health. Wash gently with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid using scented products or douches, as they can upset the natural balance.
3. Listen to your body:
Your body is an excellent indicator of your health. Pay attention to any changes in vaginal discharge, unusual odor, itching or discomfort. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to consult a gynecological health professional.
4. Practice safe sex:
If you decide to have sex, it is essential to practice safe sex to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies. Use contraceptives and condoms properly and consistently.
5. Menstruation:
Menstruation is a normal part of a woman's life. Keep track of your menstrual cycles to anticipate your period and prepare for it. Use menstrual products that are right for you, whether it's tampons, pads or menstrual cups.
6. Healthy eating and physical activity:
A balanced diet and regular physical activity have a positive impact on your gynecological and overall health. Eating nutrient-rich foods and staying active helps regulate your menstrual cycles and maintain a healthy weight.
7. Regular medical consultations:
Schedule regular medical appointments with a gynecologist to monitor your gynecological health. Routine exams are essential for early detection of any problems and to receive guidance on your development.
8. Open communication:
Don't be afraid to talk about your gynecological concerns with your parents or a trusted health professional. Open communication helps you get answers and feel supported.
