The role of baking soda in washing the vulva

In daily life, most women will suffer from gynecological diseases to some extent. Gynecological diseases will affect women's physical health to a certain extent. Soda water is alkaline. Many people use soda water to clean the vulva. In fact, baking soda is effective in treating gynecological inflammation. If taken orally, it can quickly neutralize stomach acid, but when using it, it must be used in moderation.

According to the role and efficacy of baking soda, and combined with the characteristics of the disease itself, it can help achieve better treatment results. Baking soda is a weak alkali that can quickly neutralize stomach acid after oral administration. Its anti-acid effect is weak and short-lived. However, it must not be used in excess, otherwise it will cause serious damage to the skin.

The purpose of washing the vulva with baking soda is to treat vaginitis. If there is inflammation in the vagina, you can use baking soda water to clean the vulva, but you must pay attention to the concentration, otherwise it is easy to cause local burns to the vulva or vagina. Baking soda is a weak alkaline and cannot be used for washing every day. It can only be used for washing in cases of candidal vaginitis, because the vagina is weakly acidic. If it is washed every day, it will damage the internal environment of the vagina. Very effective against fungus. During the cleaning process, ordinary baking soda is added with a small amount of water, and then the corresponding cleaning is carried out directly. Medical research has found that a 2% baking soda solution can be used for a sitz bath for candidal vaginitis.

We must pay attention to the treatment of vaginitis. Bacterial vaginosis is a type of vaginitis caused primarily by Gardnerella vaginalis and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Bacterial vaginosis is a disease caused by an increase in Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria, a decrease in Lactobacillus, and a change in the ecological balance system in the vagina. The typical clinical symptoms of this disease are a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin, homogeneous or thin, pasty, grayish white, grayish yellow or milky yellow, with a special fishy odor. Since alkaline prostatic fluid can cause the release of amines, the odor worsens during or after sexual intercourse.

The pH value of the vagina increases during menstruation, so the odor may worsen during or after menstruation. The patient has discomfort in the vulva, including varying degrees of vulvar itching, which generally has no obvious time limit, but is more obvious at rest or when under stress. There is also varying degrees of external burning sensation. Some patients experience pain during sexual intercourse, and a very small number of patients experience lower abdominal pain, difficulty in sexual intercourse, and abnormal urination. The vaginal mucosal epithelium does not show obvious congestion when the disease occurs. Vaginitis cannot be ignored. Common complications include gynecological cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and often Trichomonas vaginitis. It has been reported that 86% of women with positive Trichomonas culture have this disease. In addition, bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy can often cause adverse perinatal outcomes such as chorioamnionitis and amniotic fluid infection.

Clean the vulva in time to avoid bacterial infection. In daily life, women must keep their private parts clean. When you have free time, you can do more physical exercise to help improve your body's immunity. Take care of your health and let the colors of your life bloom again.
