Do condoms cause gynecological diseases?

Condoms are a common contraceptive method, but we often hear that condoms can cause some gynecological diseases, so many women are afraid. So, do condoms cause gynecological diseases? In fact, this needs to be recognized and understood from different aspects. Because everyone's physique is different, whether it will cause gynecological diseases needs to be recognized from different aspects. The reason why condoms may cause gynecological diseases is because the lubricant in condoms is methyl silicone oil. If these methyl silicone oils remain in the female vagina for a long time, they will destroy the acid-base balance of the vagina, so it is easy for some microorganisms or bacteria to enter, reducing the antibacterial ability of the female vagina.

1. Is it really possible that condoms may increase gynecological inflammation?

According to gynecological experts, generally speaking, a normal human body has two characteristics: "acidic" and "alkaline". The alkaline nature of parts of the human body such as blood, bones, muscles, heart, liver, and kidneys is a sign of good health. However, there are several places in the human body that must have an acidic environment to be healthy. For example, the ideal environment for the vagina is slightly acidic. Some external factors and bad habits can cause subtle changes in the pH value of the vagina, which can cause various gynecological diseases and affect the health of women's reproductive system.

2. How do condoms cause gynecological diseases?

Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of microorganisms living in the vagina, more than 90% of which are Lactobacillus, which are also known as the guardian of the vagina. The pH value of the female vagina is weakly acidic. This weakly acidic environment can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and engulf foreign bacteria, killing harmful bacteria that enter the vagina within 24 hours, and playing a role in defending against the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. On the contrary, when this acidic environment is destroyed by alkaline media, the normal pH value of the female vagina will change. The reduction of lactobacilli greatly reduces the natural defense ability of the vagina, causing bacteria to multiply in large numbers and trigger various gynecological inflammations. An imbalance in pH not only poses a hidden danger of gynecological diseases, but will also affect reproductive function. When the pH value is between 2-9, it is not conducive to the "activity" of sperm and may even cause infertility.

3. How do condoms change the pH value of the private parts?

Condoms are daily consumables in people's lives, but the lubricant in most condoms on the market is methyl silicone oil. Methyl silicone oil is weakly alkaline and has poor affinity with the human body during use. It is also not very volatile and is insoluble in water. It is not easy to clean after use and will make people feel strongly greasy. Therefore, after using this type of condom, methyl silicone oil will remain in the female vagina for a long time, destroying the acid-base balance.
