What does potassium permanganate wash for?

Potassium permanganate is a compound with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. When women have vulvar itching, they can use potassium permanganate diluted solution to clean it. It has a good antibacterial effect and has a good therapeutic effect on vulvar itching caused by bacteria. It is not easy to affect the body's hormones. Of course, in order to avoid affecting the strong acid and alkaline environment in the vagina, potassium permanganate solution should not be used too much for cleaning. So, what can potassium permanganate be used to treat private parts? What is the method of potassium permanganate to clean private parts? Next, the editor will introduce these aspects in detail to everyone. Friends who are interested can take a look at it quickly.

What can potassium permanganate be used to treat? Potassium permanganate can be used to treat the following diseases:

First, vaginitis, because potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing chemical traditional Chinese medicine, it can destroy the cell wall of bacteria through the redox reaction effect, so that the bacteria can not adapt to the original living environment, resulting in the inability to carry out DNA replication, thereby affecting the production of proteins and other substances, and then the bacteria will break down and die.

Second, it can treat vulvitis, because women’s vagina and private parts also have a lot of internal parasitic bacteria, such as yeast, lactobacillus, Escherichia coli, etc. The resistance of these bacteria is relatively poor, and they cannot withstand the strong oxidizing properties of potassium permanganate. Therefore, cleaning the vulva with potassium permanganate can easily kill these bacteria and thus treat vulvitis.

Third, potassium permanganate can also treat vulvar itching, and it also uses strong oxidizing properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria, thereby reducing irritation and inflammatory mediators to local skin.

How to clean private parts with potassium permanganate

1. Normally, the aqueous solution is light purple after preparation. If the aqueous solution turns into brown-blue purple, it means that the disinfection effect has been lost and it is not recommended to use. Generally, the prepared aqueous solution can only be stored for about two hours.

2. During the preparation process, it is also necessary to use warm water at 10℃-20℃. Too high a temperature will make the solution ineffective and cause the loss of medicinal properties. In addition, potassium permanganate releases oxygen very slowly, and the patient must soak in the bath for 5 minutes to kill the bacteria.

3. In gynecology, 0.01% potassium permanganate solution can be used for vaginal cleaning; 0.02% solution can be used for bathing to treat leucorrhea with odor; during honeymoon, 0.05% solution can be used to clean the vulva to prevent genitourinary system infection. The incidence of hemorrhoids in women is relatively high. Soaking in a basin with 0.1% solution can relieve itching and pain, prevent infection, and promote the reduction of slipped hemorrhoids.

It is particularly noteworthy that some women believe that potassium permanganate has strong bactericidal and disinfecting effects, and often use it to clean the vulva. In fact, doing so is bad for your health. Under normal circumstances, there are many beneficial vaginal lactobacilli living in the female vagina, which can decompose the glycogen stored in the female vaginal epithelial cells into lactic acid bacteria to maintain the acidity of the female vagina, forming a natural barrier to prevent pathogens from multiplying in the vagina.
