Six must-haves for a healthy vagina

The female external genitalia has a complex structure, with many wrinkles on the skin and mucous membranes. It contains sweat glands, sebaceous glands, Bartholin's glands, secretions from the cervix and vagina, and menstruation. There is a vaginal opening in front and anus in the back, so it is more prone to vaginitis.

1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, use disinfected toilet paper and sanitary napkins correctly, wash and change underwear frequently, and put underwear in the sun after washing; wash the vulva with warm water before going to bed.

2. Prevent fashion vaginitis. The popular body-shape pants are short and thin in crotch, poor in breathability and easy for bacteria to breed.

3. Prevent indirect infection of sexually transmitted vaginitis. Pay special attention when swimming, taking a sauna or bathing.

4. Pay attention to sexual hygiene. When your sexual partner suffers from genital tract inflammation, try to avoid sexual intercourse or use condoms to isolate to prevent infection.

5. Do not blindly abuse antibiotics and hormones, as they can cause an imbalance in the body's flora and lead to candidal vaginitis.

6. Pregnant women should not use any vaginal douches. Because there is a sperm in the mother's body, the overall immunity will be reduced and candidal vaginitis will often occur. If you get candidal vaginitis, you should use drugs specifically for the treatment of candidal vaginitis for pregnant women.
