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.

Emergency contraception pills, on the other hand, have a high hormone concentration and should not be taken more than three times a year to avoid hormonal imbalances. 

4. Abortion is not without risks: Both medical and surgical abortions have potential risks and complications. Surgical abortions can result in perforation, tissue residues, bleeding, infection, and other complications. Women should take proper contraceptive measures to avoid the need for abortion.

5. Don't self-medicate for menstrual irregularities: Many women experience irregularities in their menstrual cycle, but it is important to seek medical advice and treatment instead of self-medicating. Taking medication without proper examination can have adverse effects and worsen the condition. It is crucial for women to have accurate health information and consult healthcare professionals for appropriate care and treatment.
