Do not mix it with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

Changes in vaginal pH

The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain its self-cleaning function. The normal pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, the female care solution with Ph4 weak acid formula is not only suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance. When going to the toilet, wipe the vulva with feminine hygiene wipes to keep it dry to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Prevention methods

Stop abusing antibiotics

If you have a cough, fever, or headache, take antibiotics. Little do people know that antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, giving harmful bacteria the opportunity to multiply. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with caution.

Wash underwear separately

Harmful bacteria can multiply in large numbers on the surface of the skin, in the gastrointestinal tract, inside the nails, and other places. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately, and it is best to soak it in ECU-specific underwear disinfectant for a few minutes.

Avoid Over-cleaning

Frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade cleansing liquids, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The Ph4 weak acid formula of female care liquid is more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.

Pay attention to care during pregnancy

During pregnancy, sex hormone levels, glycogen and acidity in the vagina increase, making the vagina more susceptible to fungal invasion. For pregnant women, oral medications should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.

Beware of washing machines

Harmful bacteria are hidden in almost every washing tub! And the more you use the washing machine, the more harmful bacteria there are! But don't worry, there is a killer trick that never fails to deal with harmful bacteria in the washing machine: use hot water at about 60℃ to clean the washing tub! Clean it regularly with clothing disinfectant!

Pay attention to hygiene in public places

Public places can harbor a multitude of harmful germs. When you are out, do not use the hotel's bathtub, wear long pajamas, put toilet paper on the toilet before using it, etc.

Proper contraception

The estrogen in birth control pills can promote the invasion of harmful bacteria. If bacterial vaginosis recurs, try not to use contraceptive medication.

Partner Tongzhi

If you are infected with bacterial vaginosis, not only you but also your partner needs treatment in order to achieve the expected therapeutic effect. When you use the female care lotion on a daily basis, don't forget to prepare a men's care lotion for him.

Wearing cotton underwear

Tight synthetic underwear will increase the temperature and humidity of the vagina, which is a "living" environment that harmful bacteria applaud! It is better to choose cotton underwear!

Control blood sugar and clean the vulva properly

Female diabetics have high levels of vaginal glycogen, which ferments to produce alkaline substances, causing the normal vaginal acid value to deviate from 3.5-4.5 to 5.5, destroying the vagina's self-cleaning function and making it easy for harmful bacteria to invade. Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, you should also pay attention to using a female care solution with a weak acid formula of Ph4 when cleaning the vulva every day.

8 Dietary taboos 1. Avoid spicy food. Spicy foods include chili peppers, ginger, onions, garlic, etc. Eating too much of them can easily cause dryness and heat, which can cause heat and toxins to accumulate in the internal organs, resulting in symptoms such as swollen and painful gums, mouth sores, short and red urine, burning sensation in the anus, and itchy and painful front and back of the vulva, thus aggravating the symptoms of this disease.

2. Avoid seafood that may cause irritation. Fishy foods, such as shrimp, mandarin fish, black fish, hairtail, yellow croaker, crab and other aquatic products can promote damp heat, aggravate vulvar itching after eating, and are not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation, so they should be avoided.

3. Avoid sweet and greasy food. Greasy foods such as lard, fatty pork, butter, mutton fat, cream, etc.; high-sugar foods such as candy, desserts, chocolate, cream cakes, etc., these foods help to increase moisture and heat, which will increase the secretion of leucorrhea and affect the treatment effect.

4. Avoid smoking and drinking. Smoking can make the disease worse, because the nicotine in tobacco can weaken the binding force between arterial blood and oxygen. Alcohol can promote dampness and heat, so it should be avoided. Similarly, foods containing alcohol, such as fermented rice wine, medicinal wine, etc. should not be consumed.

5. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. It is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to keep bowel movements smooth; drink more water to prevent urinary tract infections.
