前不久,我们单位进行了一次妇科普查,发现为数不少的妇女外阴出现溃疡,有的已经发展到比较严重的地步。令人奇怪的是,这些患者竟未曾就医。医生问她们为何有病不看,她们满面通红,无言以对。那神态告诉我们,她们是因羞于启齿而讳疾忌医。 Not long ago, our unit carried out a gynecological survey and found that a significant number of women had ulcers in the vulva and some had developed to severe proportions. Curiously, these patients have never sought medical treatment. The doctor asked them why they did not look sick, they were flushed and speechless. That demeanor tells us that they are taboo because of shame.
