2."Daily care misunderstandings"Douyin-related videos reveal three major misunderstandings: excessive use of lotion (destroying the balance of bacterial flora), frequent use of pads (causing local moisture), and blind use of antibiotics (exacerbating bacterial flora imbalance).
3.“Rising prevalence among young women”The latest statistics show that the medical treatment rate for vaginitis among women aged 20-35 has increased by 18% compared with the same period last year, which is closely related to lifestyles such as staying up late, high stress, and sitting for long periods of time.
