Six tips to avoid private odor

Summer is the peak season for gynecological diseases. When the weather is hot, women sometimes feel uncomfortable and their vagina always emits a very unpleasant odor. This odor is generally caused by vaginal infection. In fact, in the hot season when various bacteria are active, female friends can completely avoid the occurrence of vaginitis as long as they pay more attention to hygiene. The following six good habits can effectively avoid private parts odor. Let's take a look.

1. Wear less tight pants

Avoid wearing tight or close-fitting pants such as jeans, and avoid wearing tight nylon underwear. Choose cotton underwear instead.

2. Regular gynecological examinations

Experts remind female friends that women who have sex should undergo a comprehensive gynecological examination at least once a year. Gynecological examination can help women discover gynecological diseases that they are not aware of, and seek timely treatment after the disease is discovered, so as to avoid further deterioration of vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., which may cause infertility, ascending inflammatory infection, and even cervical cancer and other more serious consequences.

3. Self-examination

Normal leucorrhea should be colorless and odorless. If women find that their leucorrhea is slightly yellow or green purulent liquid, rice water-like, fishy or other odors, or even bloody, they should go to a regular hospital for professional examination and receive targeted treatment in time.

4. Choose comfortable underwear

Experts say that whether it is during menstruation or at other times, women’s private secretions will have a little odor. This is the natural smell of the body and is a normal phenomenon. The weather is hot in summer and people sweat a lot, which is suitable for the growth of bacteria. If the underwear is tight or made of poor quality, it will more easily increase the odor.

5. Don’t use sanitary pads on weekdays

Some female friends are worried that leucorrhea will stain their underwear or are too lazy to wash their underwear, so they always use sanitary pads. This practice is not advisable. When you are not menstruating, try not to use sanitary pads. Wash your vulva with clean water and change your underwear every night. In addition, do not use various liquid medicines for vaginal cleaning, as this will damage the internal environment of the vagina and cause vaginitis.

6. Pay attention to your diet

In terms of diet, you must be careful to avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can moderately consume lactic acid beverages, such as yogurt, which is beneficial to maintaining the acidic environment of the vagina. Antibiotics are usually taken as little as possible to avoid disrupting the normal balance of vaginal flora. Diabetic patients must pay attention to blood sugar control, because high blood sugar is conducive to the growth of mold and can easily lead to recurrence of vaginitis.
