Health is not everything, but without health there is nothing!
Nowadays, health problems of all sizes are prone to women, causing them to fall into anxiety. Some bad merchants keenly smelled the business opportunities and combined with a "new concept" to package it into their own money tree.
Breast massage, pelvic repair, sweating for a full moon... How many scams are there, which are still harming Chinese women.
In order to help everyone avoid paying IQ tax, today we will take a look at the six major health scams that specifically cheat women.
Breast massage
Scam:Breast massage can enhance breasts.
is praised by beauty salons for "breast massage" and has two functions during publicity:
can promote the development of breast glands;
can transfer fat from other parts to the breast.
Simply put, it is breast enhancement.
The breasts of the human body are composed of glands and fat tissue. It seems to make some sense to achieve breast enhancement through massage, but is this really the case?
of course not. Studies have shown that chest massage only promotes local blood circulation and cannot promote gland development.

The development of female glands is inseparable from hormones. There will be a peak period when entering puberty. After the hormone levels stabilize, the size of the breast will be basically fixed.
➤The truth: Apart from eating weight, getting pregnant and having surgery, there are no other ways to enhance breasts.
Pelvic repair
Scam: It is necessary to do pelvic repair after delivery.
After a woman becomes pregnant, the pelvic ligament muscles will relax due to the influence of hormone levels in the body, causing the birth canal to temporarily expand, so as to facilitate the smooth birth of the baby.
However, the pelvis becomes wider after childbirth, pain in the pubic joint , pelvic muscle relaxation, postpartum urine leakage... So many mothers began to be anxious.
"Pelvic Repair" has become popular all over the country, but is it really necessary?
In fact, the impact of hormone levels during pregnancy and the fetal compression during the delivery process will cause pelvic floor muscles and ligaments to stretch, resulting in symptoms of relaxation. As the postpartum hormone levels recover, some symptoms will gradually disappear.

It is worth noting that should avoid increasing abdominal pressure during postpartum recovery (such as heavy objects, constipation, etc.).
Unless there is continuous pain in the pelvic bone after childbirth and pubic isolation occurs, "pelvic repair" is needed. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for pelvic floor evaluation and pelvic floor treatment after delivery, mainly repairing the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. It is not recommended to choose informal medical institutions for treatment.
Repair surgery still needs to be handled by professional doctors, so don’t pin your hopes on the beauty salon.
➤The truth: The postpartum pelvis can be recovered on its own over time.
sweating after childbirth
scam: sweating after childbirth can dehumidify and detoxify.
Many confinement centers will recommend that mothers do "postpartum sweating" projects, claiming that they can drive away cold and detoxify and prevent and treat confinement diseases. In fact, postpartum sweating has no scientific theoretical basis in medicine.
99% of our sweat is water, and the rest are sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, urea nitrogen and other substances. The ones that can be associated with "toxicity" are urea nitrogen.
When any substance in our body is absorbed through the digestive tract and then enters the blood circulation, and then metabolized by the liver and kidneys, urea nitrogen will be produced and then excreted through our urine.
Therefore, there is no basis for excreting urea through sweating, let alone detoxification.
➤The truth: Postpartum sweating has been over-interpreted by current merchants.
Extraction of residual milk
Scam: Not ejecting residual milk can easily induce breast diseases.
Many postpartum recovery institutions and lactation engineers claim that they must discharge residual milk after weaning. If it is not discharged, the residual milk in the breast will slowly deteriorate, causing various breast problems.And the yellow liquids excreted are toxins.
These statements probably scared a large number of women. So what exactly is the yellow liquid discharged after weaning?
In fact, these "residual milk" are not any toxins, because the breast glands begin to shrink after weaning, and the milk stored in the milk duct will increase as the water is absorbed, that is, the color of the fat.

When breastfeeding stops, the breast will gradually stop lactation, and the breast tissue will gradually degenerate, and the milk remaining in the breast will be absorbed by the epithelial cells of the breast duct. It will not "deteriorate", let alone cause breast problems.
➤The truth: "residual milk" does not require "extraction" at all, nor will it cause breast diseases.
vaginal lotion
scam: using vaginal cleansing solution is healthier.
The advertising slogan "Washing is healthier" is well-known, and many women probably have used this type of vaginal cleaning solution. On the market, there are about three approval numbers: cosmetic font size, font size and medicine font size:
cosmetic font size care solution does not have any therapeutic ingredients;
font size is a batch number used for sanitary disinfection products, but it cannot replace medicines;
font size lotion has a certain therapeutic effect, but it must be guided by a doctor before use.
The vagina is a slightly acidic environment, monitored by " Lactobacillus ", which can inhibit the growth of other pathogens and maintain internal ecological balance.
privately uses vaginal cleaning solution, which not only does not play a role in disinfection, but will instead destroy the vagina's ecosystem, reduce its defense, and promote the growth of abnormal bacteria, leading to repeated attacks of vaginitis and pelvic inflammation, which may induce a series of problems such as ectopic pregnancy and infertility .

Even if you use wash solution to clean the vulva, it is not suitable. Because excessive cleaning will damage the protective film on the skin surface, reduce skin oil, excessive dryness, and may also cause vulva itching.
➤The truth: The best lotion in daily life is "clean water". Even if you need to use vaginal lotion, you need to follow the doctor's advice.
Ovarian massage
Scam: Ovarian massage can delay aging.
The ovary is located on the posterior and lateral side of the uterus. Under normal circumstances, women cannot touch the ovary when lying flat. It will only be occasionally touched when the doctor performs a joint vagina-abdominal wall palpation.
massage does have a certain effect on relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, but the massage on the body surface has minimal effect on the ovaries, and it has no effect on the treatment of diseases.
Even if essential oil is added, it is useless. Essential oil ingredients penetrate the skin at most and cannot act on the ovaries.
➤The truth: If the technician can touch it, it only means there is a problem with the ovary.
or the above are not so much a healthy product designed for women, but rather a marketing scam designed for women’s anxiety!
rejects pseudoscience, rejects IQ tax, be eye-catching, don’t get caught!
Special reminder: or above science content is only for experience exchange. Considering individual differences, if you feel uncomfortable, you can consult a professional doctor online; if you have acute illness, please go to the offline hospital for treatment immediately!
