What is the reason for white substance in the vagina?

Many women sometimes pay great attention to hygiene and basically use clean water to wash every day, but they still find white objects in the vagina and suffer from certain gynecological diseases. In fact, the vagina will not be healthy if it is cleaned every day. In fact, there are many reasons that may cause gynecological diseases. The following editor will introduce some reasons that cause vaginal inflammation.

First of all, the female vagina is not as the advertisements say: “Washing it will make it healthier”! The female vulva has a special physiological and anatomical structure. Due to the closure of the labia majora and minora, the vulva can prevent external evil from invading the vagina, and the vagina has a self-cleaning function. There are many kinds of bacteria in the vagina, among which lactic acid bacteria are dominant, which maintain the acidic environment in the vagina, inhibit the growth of other pathogenic bacteria, balance the flora in the vagina, and maintain vaginal hygiene. Daily vaginal douching will disrupt the balance of vaginal flora and change the acidity and alkalinity, which will facilitate the growth of pathogenic bacteria and lead to the occurrence of vaginitis.

Secondly, poor hygiene is not the only cause of vaginitis. People are also prone to vulvitis and vaginitis when they have low immunity, diabetes, are pregnant, or use large amounts of antibiotics. Public places such as bathhouses, swimming pools and hot springs are also sources of pathogens. In addition, the hygiene of sexual partners cannot be ignored. People with multiple sexual partners are more likely to get sexually transmitted diseases.

How to take care of women's private parts?

So how do you take care of women's genitals? Here are some suggestions for healthy women who do not have vaginal discomfort.

1. Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2 to 3 days. Do not douche your vagina every day. It is best to use running water every time you clean. The water used for washing cannot be reused. You can buy a vaginal douche to spray water on the vagina. The cleaning order is from front to back, that is, first the labia majora and minora, then the vaginal opening, and then the anus. If you have the conditions to take a bath once a day, you can just clean the vulva when you take a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

2. For those who have sex, it is best to clean the external genitalia before each sexual intercourse. In addition, you should have a fixed sexual partner. When your partner has external genital inflammation, do not have sex with him/her for the time being, or use condoms.

3. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Choose a sanitary napkin with good breathability. It is best not to use sanitary pads at ordinary times, just change your underwear frequently.

4. Choose cotton underwear, wash it separately and dry it in the sun. Patients with athlete's foot should fix the order of bedding when sleeping and not place underwear at the feet.

5. In daily life, bedding should be dried frequently and the room should be ventilated.

6. Strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness.

To sum up: according to scientific care methods, the vagina should not be flushed every day. If conditions permit, you can use running water or warm water to rinse the vulva every day, but remember to use running water to rinse the vulva, not the vagina.

Therefore, women should not only pay attention to cleaning their genitals and keeping them clean, but should also start from the other aspects mentioned above. If they feel vaginal itching or abnormal leucorrhea, they should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time and actively take some effective treatments. They should also try to eat a lighter diet.
