Most women don’t take good care of their “secret garden”

Someone will tell you if there is anything wrong with your appearance or dress, but you have to rely entirely on yourself to take care of your private parts. Women's vaginas are sensitive and fragile, and can be easily attacked by bacteria. Gynecological diseases are not only difficult to treat, but also difficult to talk about! So, how can we take good care of our own “sensitive garden”? The editor has brought you 8 health tips, let’s take a look!

1. Use condoms instead of birth control pills

Condoms can not only prevent pregnancy, they can also isolate bacteria in semen and diseases from the opposite sex, such as herpes and papillomavirus, etc., while birth control pills do not have this isolation effect. Some women are prone to recurrence of candidal vaginitis after using birth control pills. This is because the estrogen in birth control pills promotes the production of fungal hyphae, causing the fungus to further endanger women's health.

2. Reduce the frequency of using pads

Many girls think that sanitary pads are hygienic and convenient to use, especially when there is a lot of vaginal secretions before and after menstruation, many people choose to use sanitary pads. However, frequent use of sanitary pads is not good for women's health, because the gelatin on the surface of the pads has poor air permeability, which will make the private parts airtight and become a breeding ground for viruses. Therefore, it is best not to use sanitary pads. Even if you use them, you should change them frequently to reduce the chance of bacteria breeding.

3. Do not wipe with low-quality paper towels after urinating

Many public toilets provide paper towels, but these paper towels are usually of poor quality and contain more bacteria. If you use this kind of paper towel to wipe after urinating, it will provide bacteria with an opportunity to grow. Many people also put some toilet paper in their pockets for emergencies, but whether it is put directly in or packaged tissue paper, as long as it is opened, it is easy to be contaminated with bacteria and is not suitable for wiping the vulva. If you really can't find clean toilet paper, it's OK to use nothing after urinating, but don't forget to change your underwear frequently to keep your private parts healthy and clean.

4. Trim your body hair

Body hair can affect the sensitivity of your private parts, so the best way to deal with it is to trim it. Hot wax and various depilatory creams can damage the skin in the V zone, causing unnecessary redness, swelling, and even bacterial infection. Although pruning is not as thorough and immediate as the above two methods, for the sake of private health, you can let your partner do the gardening for you. Also, men use razors every morning and their "gardening" skills are much better than women's.

5. Let her breathe fresh air

One hundred percent cotton underwear is the most intimate protection for women's private parts. In addition, try to avoid wearing tight jeans and other clothing that constricts your hips, as they can raise your body temperature, increase the number of bacteria, and cause vaginal diseases.

6. Don’t use soap to wash your private parts

Some girls want to keep their private parts "clean", so they wash them with soap every day. But in fact, the female vagina is weakly acidic, and alkaline soap will break its original acid-base balance, which will easily lead to the proliferation of bacteria. The correct cleaning method should be to rinse with clean water. Weakly acidic feminine wash should not be used casually, but should be used with the doctor's permission.

7. Do vaginal tightening exercises

Tighten your pelvic floor muscles and PC muscles. Use the strength and method of suppressing urination, maintain it for more than 2 seconds each time, three times a day, and persist for 15 days each month. This will not only keep the vagina tight, but also promote blood circulation in the vaginal wall and increase its sensitivity.

8. Be careful when you go out

Some women wore short skirts while taking long-distance buses and ended up getting infected with candidal vaginitis. Does it sound a bit unbelievable? Some facilities in public places, such as seat cushions on buses, flush toilets and bathtubs in hotels, and undisinfected beds, may hide a large amount of mold, waiting to endanger your health. Therefore, you must pay more attention when you go out and cultivate a good sense of prevention. For example, do not use the hotel bathtub casually, bring your own pajamas when traveling, and put toilet paper before using a public toilet.
