Excessive cleaning of women's private parts may make them dirtier

There are some particularities in cleaning the female private parts. Excessive cleaning may cause inflammation! In real life, many women pay attention to hygiene and love cleanliness. They often use medicine to flush the vagina, thinking that this can keep inflammation away. Little do people know that this practice has the opposite effect, causing the vagina to lose its "ecological balance" and causing frequent inflammation.

The vagina has a self-cleaning function

Many women don't know much about their vagina. The structure of the vagina is very special. Its opening has the urethra in front and the anus in the back, so it is easily contaminated. There are various resident microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and mycoplasma, and a variety of pathogens can be temporarily introduced due to sexual contact. Therefore, the vagina is a dangerous area. However, the vagina has self-cleaning function and can maintain "ecological balance".

It is reported that in the female reproductive tract, the vulva, vagina and cervix form three natural lines of defense due to their own anatomical functions and physiological characteristics, thus preventing the invasion of harmful bacteria. Experts point out that healthy adults also have fungi, Trichomonas and other microorganisms that can cause vaginal inflammation in their vaginas. Under normal circumstances, they coexist peacefully and restrain each other, just like a well-ordered small society. In particular, lactobacillus, known as the "health guardian" of the vagina, can produce lactic acid, maintain a weakly acidic environment in the vagina, inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, and has a self-cleaning function.

Abuse of feminine wash will only make your body dirtier.

The female vagina itself is acidic and has self-cleaning functions. If you abuse various cleaning liquids, while killing pathogenic bacteria, you will also kill beneficial bacteria, destroy the normal flora, and increase the chance of getting sick. Foreign scholars analyzed reports on vaginal douching in women over the past 30 years and found that douching once a week or more can significantly increase the chance of pelvic infection and moderately increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. The more frequent the douching, the greater the risk of pelvic infection.

Generally, women can just wash with clean water. If there is inflammation, the doctor will prescribe a lotion according to the symptoms. However, these lotions also have a course of treatment and cannot be used for a long time.

Frequent flushing destroys the "ecological balance"

Lack of personal hygiene will definitely cause damage to the vagina. However, women who are too obsessed with cleanliness and frequently use medicine to flush the vagina may sometimes suffer from severe vulvar, vaginal or pelvic inflammation.

According to statistics, the incidence of vaginitis in women who pay attention to hygiene and wash their vagina frequently is twice as high as that in those who do not wash their vagina. The risk of Trichomonas vaginitis infection increases significantly for women who flush more than once a month. Vaginal douches contain iodine, chlorhexidine and other bactericidal disinfectants, which kill pathogenic bacteria as well as lactobacilli. There was once a typical example of a woman who was very clean and flushed her vagina several times a day, which resulted in vaginal itching.

Due to commercial hype about the concept of "wash it off", the use of gynecological washes is increasing. However, such douching destroys the ecological balance of the vagina and leads to more problems.

When the flora in the vagina is out of balance, the toxins of Candida, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause local inflammatory reactions in the vagina on the one hand, and redness, swelling, itching and pain in the vulva on the other. If you find yourself suffering from vaginitis, you should go to the hospital and let the doctor distinguish which pathogen has infected you and treat you according to different situations, instead of going to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of wash liquid and hoping to "wash it away".

Women should clean their private parts correctly like this:

Generally, women only need to wash their vulva once a day. It is best to take a shower and rinse with warm water; if there is no shower, you can use a basin instead, but it must be a dedicated basin. Cleansing order: Wash your hands first, then gently wash from front to back with your hands, finally washing the anal area.

Women can choose wash lotions without Western medicine antibacterial ingredients in their daily lives according to their personal preferences; "medicine" wash lotions with pure Chinese medicine ingredients can also be used as appropriate. However, according to research, women who use vaginal wash fluids have a 73% higher risk of pelvic infection than those who do not use vaginal wash fluids. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is best not to perform vaginal cleaning. If you feel uncomfortable, seek medical attention in time and use the washing solution under the guidance of a doctor.
