Things to clean your vagina

Before going to bed every day, we need to clean not only the face, mouth and limbs, but also the genitals. In fact, you don’t need to do anything to clean the vagina. Just use warm boiled water to wash and rinse the vulva, and running water is the best. That is, used water cannot be reused. In addition, many people believe that soap and shower gel can be used to clean the vulva. It is recommended that you do not use them because they are alkaline in nature and are irritating to the skin, so they are not suitable.

You can use cool or warm boiled water to clean the vulva. Remember, you should wash the vulva, not the vagina. It is best to use running water every time you clean it, and the water used for washing cannot be reused. The cleaning order is from front to back, that is, first the labia majora and minora, then the vaginal opening, and then the anus. If you have the conditions to take a bath once a day, you only need to clean the vulva when taking a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

The cleanliness of the perineum is very important. It should be rinsed with clean water every day to remove excrement and secretions in time. It can also be cleaned with mild toiletries. When bathing, women should separate the labia majora and minora and clean the secretions from front to back. It is best to clean the anus after defecation to wash away the dirt in the anal folds, which can also effectively prevent and treat hemorrhoids.

When showering, you should rinse your groin with warm water and rub your groin from top to bottom with the pads of two fingers. For obese people, they should open the folds and scrub carefully. When cleaning, women can use their fingertips to gently rub from bottom to top and from left to right, and then rinse with warm water.

The most common way is to wash the vulva with soap. Soap (including perfumed soap) is alkaline and irritating to the skin. After removing the sebum, the skin becomes dry and can cause itching. Some people also like to use shower gel, believing that it has a gentle cleansing effect. In fact, shower gel is a chemical preparation, which can easily cause allergic or contact dermatitis after irritating the skin and mucous membranes. Some women often use Chinese herbal preparations such as Jieryin and Fuyintai to clean their genitals, believing that Chinese medicine is the safest. Although Chinese herbal medicine has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory. However, Chinese herbal preparations are also prescription drugs and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Some women extend the scope of genital cleaning to the vagina, and often flush the vagina with medicated liquid, believing that this can reduce leucorrhea and prevent infection. In fact, leucorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon of women. It is a mixture of vaginal exudate, cervical and endometrial gland secretions. Less leucorrhea and insufficient moisture in the vagina can cause discomfort. If you flush the vagina frequently, it will inevitably change the acidic environment of the vagina, destroy the self-cleaning function of the vagina, and disrupt the mutual restraint of the normal flora.
