Rubbing the body while taking a bath is a process we already do automatically ... until when it should wash the genital area, or for this case, the vagina. In contrast to other body parts, the vagina requires a little more consideration.
Wrong information about how to wash the vagina can lead to a mildewy area of mildew fungus. And, once the vagina feels uncomfortable, usually the woman will feel the whole body so uncomfortable too.
So how to wash the vagina good and right?
Yes: Focus on the area around the vagina
Although the area around the vagina, such as the vulva, needs help to get clean, the inside of the vagina can cleanse itself.
"Vagina has a great mechanism to maintain its own cleanliness, and it also has its own healthy ecosystem," says Jessica Shepherd, MD, a gynecologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Do not: Feel must buy special soap
Usually, the vagina has a pH level of about 3.5 to 4.5. When you use a hygiene product such as a bath soap, which usually has a pH of about eight, this can damage the vaginal balance. As a result, the vagina becomes itchy, irritated, and smelly.
"Unsweetened soap is always a more choice, because they have no fragrances that can cause irritation," says Shepherd.
Dand, soap bars are a better choice than liquid soap. Bar soap has less alcohol and perfume than liquid soap.
Just make sure you are aware of symptoms of itching, dryness, or whitish fluid changes, and increased yeast infections. These are signs you need to replace soap that is more neutral and pH fit the vagina.
Yes: Clean enough once a day
If you clean the vagina less than once a day, the pile of sweat and body secretions will not hlang. If cleaned more than once, this can disrupt the balance of the vagina.
About it, using a wet towel or hand is much better than using a bath foam that can cause cuts or tears in the skin. This leads to infection and increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
Again, make sure the symptoms are itchy, dry, whitish fluid changes, and fungal infections. Excessive cleaning can cause these symptoms.
No: Douche (Wash the inside of the vagina)
Here's what you need to know about cleaning the inside of the vagina: There are good bacteria and there are bad bacteria. By rubbing the inside of the vagina, you get rid of both.
"The balance of vaginal pH levels is very sensitive.If you remove the good bacteria, bad bacteria can take over and control the vagina," Shepherd said.
This can lead to fungal infections and other conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, other types of infections.
The outline: "The interesting thing about the vagina is, it's built to keep itself," lid Shepherd. So, entrust his cleanliness affairs to his own vagina.
