In life, there is a rumor that using too many condoms will cause gynecological diseases in women. Is this statement credible? Let’s find out together!

"Acidity" and "alkalinity" affect women's health

Normal human body has two qualities: "acidic" and "alkaline". Usually the human body's blood, bones, muscles, heart, etc. are alkaline. But this doesn't mean that everything needs to be alkaline. A woman's vagina is healthiest when it is weakly acidic.

Changes in vaginal pH are often ignored by women. In fact, when the vagina is affected by external adverse factors, it can cause gynecological diseases.

3 reasons for vaginal pH imbalance

1. Use alkaline toiletries. In daily life, if you regularly use alkaline toiletries to clean your vulva, coupled with the overuse of antibiotics, your vaginal PH value will be out of balance.

2. Excessive sexual life. Two kinds of bacteria in the vagina (pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and Gardnerella) will begin to multiply in large numbers due to frequent sexual intercourse, thus breaking the weak acid balance in the vagina.

3. Use alkaline condoms. There are many condoms on the market now that use methyl silicone oil as a lubricant, but this is a weakly alkaline substance. After methyl silicone oil comes into contact with the human body, it is not volatile and does not dissolve in water, making it difficult to clean. If it is left in a woman's vagina for a long time. It will also destroy the acid-base balance.

Will using too many condoms cause gynecological diseases?

The vagina of healthy women is indeed slightly acidic, and a large number of microorganisms reside in this environment. 90% of the microbiome is Lactobacillus. Such an environment is not conducive to bacterial growth. Moreover, the weakly acidic environment can eliminate harmful foreign bacteria. Plays a very good defensive role. It can also inhibit and swallow most germs. When this acidic environment is changed, it will indeed affect women's natural defense capabilities. This leads to the occurrence of gynecological inflammation.

Although, the cause of pH imbalance also includes the use of condoms. However, don’t worry too much. A woman’s vagina is always slightly acidic, and it won’t change just because you use a few condoms. Although long-term use of methyl silicone oil can cause gynecological inflammation, don't underestimate the female vagina, which also has the ability to self-purify. It can effectively block the invasion of foreign substances. As long as you choose condoms produced by qualified manufacturers, generally speaking, there will be no big problem.

After reading the editor’s content, I think everyone has a basic understanding of whether condoms can cause gynecological diseases. Condoms are a common method of contraception during sex. Proper use of condoms can not only achieve the effect of contraception, but also eliminate the need to worry about causing gynecological inflammation.
