Blackheads on vulva

The main reason for blackheads on the vulva is due to the symptoms of folliculitis. Since folliculitis is caused by clogged hair follicles, patients need to discharge the secretions of the sebaceous glands, pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, and use antibiotics and other drugs for treatment. Women with blackheads on their vulva should eat less spicy and irritating foods, keep their vulva dry, and it is best not to wear tight underwear.

Squeezing out blackheads from the genitals is more common in patients with folliculitis. Generally speaking, patients with folliculitis have blocked hair follicles, and the sebaceous gland secretions cannot be discharged. Repeated accumulation may lead to infection, resulting in the extrusion of smelly blackheads from the genitals. In this case, if the smelly blackheads have been squeezed out of the vulva, you can consider applying antibiotics topically, such as Bactroban ointment, erythromycin ointment, etc. Before applying externally, be sure to wash it thoroughly with clean water. At the same time, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Do not wear tight or synthetic clothes, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and also pay attention to hygiene during menstruation.

How to properly clean a woman's private parts? The misunderstandings about private parts cleaning that you must know

Myth 1: Private shower gel can prevent sexually transmitted diseases

Whether it is a private cleaning product with the word "medical" or "health" in its prefix, none of them can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The gonococcus that causes gonorrhea, the Treponema pallidum that causes syphilis, the papillomavirus that causes genital warts, etc. can be transmitted directly to the cervix and may also enter the uterine cavity. Therefore, flushing the vagina with various private cleaning products afterwards cannot wash away these pathogenic substances. To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, the best way is to keep yourself clean or use condoms. Generally speaking, private cleaning products cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Myth 2: Are Chinese herbal lotions safer?

Although Chinese herbal medicine has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing inflammation, even so it must be used under the prescription of a doctor. Moreover, Chinese herbal medicines have a short shelf life and are prone to spoilage and mold. Such private cleaning products can be harmful after use. Especially now, many unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies add chemical ingredients to traditional Chinese medicine private parts cleaning products to achieve certain therapeutic purposes, so women must be vigilant.

Myth 3: It can help women prevent inflammation

When it comes to vaginal cleanliness, many people take it for granted that keeping it clean, hygienic, and washing and changing it frequently are absolutely right. If the vagina feels not dry or comfortable enough, they will use some cleaning liquid to rinse it. Many women do this, and some girls even use care liquid to rinse it every day. What they don’t know is that this is very wrong. In fact, the vagina of a healthy woman is the same as the mouth. There are usually dozens of bacteria present, but they are safe because of the existence of vaginal "guards". Lactobacillus is one of the "guardians". It can break down the glycogen in the vaginal cells into lactic acid, thereby maintaining a certain acidity in the vagina and limiting the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. However, ingredients such as vinegar, water, and antibacterial agents in vaginal washes often kill the bacteria that protect the human body while flushing harmful bacteria out of the vagina, thereby destroying the local acidic environment and making it impossible for the vagina to protect itself. What's worse is that if the wrong method is used during the flushing process, the bacteria will take the opportunity to "hitch a ride" and invade deep into the vagina or even the uterus.

The correct way to clean your private parts

Clean the vulva properly and never flush the vagina unless there are special circumstances. This will maintain the natural defense line of the female reproductive tract, not destroy the ecological balance in the vagina, and prevent external pathogens from entering the vagina.

You must have your own special basin and special cleaning tools. Towels and cleaning utensils must be cleaned before use. Towels must be dried in the sun or in a ventilated place after use. It is best to expose them to the sun, which is conducive to sterilization and disinfection. Because towels have not seen the sun for a long time, they are prone to breed bacteria and fungi.

Reproductive tract infection is a disease faced by many women. It not only causes physical harm to patients, but also creates psychological shadows. Its symptoms are vaginal itching, unpleasant odor, and pain during sexual intercourse. This can cause great psychological harm to women. Only by correctly understanding the cleaning methods and paying attention to preventing the occurrence of diseases in life can we stay away from the troubles of diseases.
