What to do if your private parts are inflamed

Women must pay necessary attention to personal hygiene issues, because private parts are directly related to our personal health. Once private parts become inflamed, it is likely to cause itching, redness and swelling, and in severe cases may also affect a person's reproduction. Therefore, we must pay more attention to health and hygiene in this area. Once infection or inflammation occurs, we must seek medical attention in time and use appropriate medications to help the disease recover faster.

Vaginitis is the most common inflammation of the female reproductive organs and can occur at any age. Vaginitis can be divided into bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic, and vaginal trichomoniasis. In terms of incidence, the most common is candidal vaginitis, which is vaginal candidiasis, a disease that is difficult to eradicate. According to statistics, up to 70-80% of young women have been infected with vaginal Candida, and more than half of them will have recurrences. Generally speaking, if you are menstruating, experiencing hormonal changes during pregnancy, eating too many sweets, lacking sleep, wearing tight jeans, taking immunosuppressants or antibiotics for a long time, or have diabetes, etc., the pH value of the vagina will become alkaline, which is conducive to the growth of Candida alba.

8 things to note in life

1. Clothes should be exposed to full sunlight and should not be exposed to moisture. Wear less synthetic underwear, especially tight ones, and more breathable cotton fabrics.

2. Do not flush the vagina frequently, as this may irritate the mucous membrane, reduce the lactobacilli in the vagina, lower the resistance, and also easily cause candidal vaginitis.

3. Do not use tampons and panty liners frequently. Keep the vulva clean and dry, do not wash with hot water, and do not scrub with irritating perfumed soaps.

4. Wash your hands frequently to avoid bringing germs into your eyes and causing infection. Underwear should be separated from other family clothes and washed individually, and can even be disinfected with disinfectant.

5. During the inflammation period, avoid allergenic foods, alcohol, spicy foods, sweets, fried foods, fermented foods, etc. Eat more fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water (at least 2000cc a day).

6. It is best to suspend sexual activity or use condoms to reduce the chance of recurrence and cross infection. We should also pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of our daily activities.

7. After defecation, wipe with toilet paper from front to back. If inflammation causes pain, you can wash it with clean water to reduce friction and increase pain.

8. Get enough sleep to improve the function of your body's immune system.
