Women are often considered delicate and more prone to various diseases compared to men. In order to protect themselves from gynecological diseases, modern women focus on health and wellness. However, they sometimes harm their health due to a lack of basic health knowledge. Here are five misconceptions about women's health: 

1. Cervical erosion is not a disease: Many women panic when they see the term "cervical erosion" on their medical reports, thinking that their cervix is actually eroding. However, cervical erosion is a common physiological phenomenon and not a disease. Even in the most severe case, it does not indicate any health problems. 

2. Vaginal douching is unnecessary: Some women believe that the vagina is dirty and needs douching with special products to be healthy, but this is a misconception.

The vagina has a balanced ecosystem of bacteria that keeps it clean. Using vaginal douches can disrupt this balance and lead to inflammation. 

3. Emergency contraception is not the same as regular birth control: Short-acting birth control pills need to be taken daily and can be stopped anytime without major side effects.
