Why do women get vaginitis?

In today's society, women can hold up half the sky just like men. But women have to work much harder than men, not only do they have to work to support the family. When I go home, I have to take care of the children, do the laundry, cook, and take care of the elderly. Even if you accidentally get sick, you have to suffer by yourself. Vaginitis is one of the more common diseases among women. So why do women get vaginitis? Today we will learn how women get vaginitis and how women should take care of their vaginas.

Many women believe that washing the vulva and vagina every day is the cleanest and most hygienic way to avoid gynecological inflammation. Many women who come to see the doctor ask the doctor in confusion: "I am very hygienic and wash every day, how could I get vaginitis?" This is a misunderstanding among women about women's hygiene knowledge.

First of all, the female vagina is not as the advertisements say: "Washing is healthier"! The female vulva has a special physiological and anatomical structure. Due to the closure of the labia majora and minora, the vulva can prevent external evil from invading the vagina, and the vagina has a self-cleaning function. There are many kinds of bacteria in the vagina, among which lactic acid bacteria are dominant, which maintain the acidic environment in the vagina, inhibit the growth of other pathogenic bacteria, balance the flora in the vagina, and maintain vaginal hygiene. Daily vaginal douching will disrupt the balance of vaginal flora and change the acidity and alkalinity, which will facilitate the growth of pathogenic bacteria and lead to the occurrence of vaginitis.

Secondly, poor hygiene is not the only cause of vaginitis. People are also prone to vulvitis and vaginitis when they have low immunity, diabetes, are pregnant, or use large amounts of antibiotics. Public places such as bathhouses, swimming pools and hot springs are also sources of pathogens. In addition, the hygiene of sexual partners cannot be ignored. People with multiple sexual partners are more likely to get sexually transmitted diseases.

How to take care of women's private parts?

So how to take care of women's genitals? Here are some suggestions for healthy women who do not have genital discomfort.

1. Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2 to 3 days. Do not douche your vagina every day. It is best to use running water every time you clean. The water used for washing cannot be reused. You can buy a vaginal douche to spray water on the vagina. 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 can just clean the vulva when you take a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

2. For those who have sex, it is best to clean the external genitalia before each sexual intercourse. In addition, you should have a fixed sexual partner. When your partner has external genital inflammation, do not have sex with him/her for the time being, or use condoms.

3. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Choose a sanitary napkin with good breathability. It is best not to use sanitary pads at ordinary times, just change your underwear frequently.

4. Choose cotton underwear, wash it separately and dry it in the sun. Patients with athlete's foot should fix the order of bedding when sleeping and not place underwear at the feet.

5. In daily life, bedding should be dried frequently and the room should be ventilated.

6. Strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness.

To sum up: according to scientific care methods, the vagina should not be flushed every day. If conditions permit, you can use running water or warm water to rinse the vulva every day, but remember to use running water to rinse the vulva, not the vagina.

How do you clean and care for your private parts every day? Remember not to wash them every day, as that will destroy the self-cleaning function of the private parts and make them most susceptible to vaginitis. After recovering from vaginitis, be sure to throw away the underwear you wore previously to avoid secondary infection. The above is the answer to the question of why women today suffer from vaginitis.
