Six measures for caring for women’s private parts

1. Prepare your own special washing basin, special washing utensils and towels. Cleaning utensils should be disinfected before use. The easiest way is to scald them with boiling water. Towels should be dried in the sun or in a ventilated place after use. It is best to expose them to the sun, which is beneficial to sterilization and disinfection. Because towels have not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, they are prone to breed bacteria and fungi.

2. Some women use various lotions to clean their lower bodies for a long time, and some women even use tap water to rinse their vaginas during bathing. These are not advisable. The female vagina is an acidic environment and has a self-cleaning effect. Long-term use of various lotions to rinse the vagina will kill vaginal bacteria that are beneficial to the body, reduce local resistance, and increase the chance of infection. It is best to use a weakly acidic feminine care solution with a pH value of 4 to clean the vulva to reduce irritation to the skin.

3. During menstruation, wash the vulva frequently with warm water and change sanitary napkins frequently to prevent blood stains from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Do not use highly alkaline soap or chemicals such as potassium permanganate when cleaning to avoid changing the normal acidic environment of the vagina.

4. After defecation, wipe clean from front to back with tissue paper, and it is best to develop the habit of washing or rinsing the anus with warm water. If you don't wipe it clean, there will be fecal stains in the anus, which will contaminate the underwear. The intestinal bacteria contained in the feces stains will take the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation.

5. Mastering correct health knowledge and paying attention to preventing the occurrence of diseases in life are the fundamental way to stay away from pain. Before having sex, you should do a good job in disease prevention and understand the relevant knowledge about the genitals to avoid unnecessary damage to the organs.

6. The vagina is an important passage for female internal genitalia. To prevent diseases, you must protect the vagina. It is forbidden to rinse the vagina with cold water during the menstrual period; it is forbidden to use anything that will damage the vagina for sexual activities; it is necessary to wash it immediately after sexual intercourse; if any abnormalities in the vagina are found, timely examination is required.
