How to clean the vulva correctly?

The importance of the vulva to women is self-evident. If women do not pay attention to this issue, they are likely to be infected with some diseases. So how to clean the vulva correctly? First of all, you should buy high-quality shower gel or other lotion for cleaning the vulva. Secondly, follow the methods step by step. Now let us learn together how to clean the vulva correctly?

1. Correct method of cleaning genitals

1. Cleaning frequency: 1 time is enough.

2. Cleaning method: Rinse with warm water. If there is no shower, you can use a basin instead, but it must be a dedicated basin.

3. Cleaning order: clean the vulva from front to back, then wash the labia majora and minora, and finally wash the area around the anus and the anus.

4. It is best not to use the cleaning solution every day. The best method is to use it once every two weeks or when the body's immunity is low during the monthly menstrual period. Avoid constantly changing brands of medicine.

Experts remind: If you have vaginal itching, burning pain when urinating, abnormal color (gray, yellow-green, or even bloody), lumps in the vagina, or an odor, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.

2. Care during menstruation

1. Change sanitary napkins frequently and wash the vulva with warm water twice a day.

2. If you cannot take a shower, each person should have one basin, one towel and one piece of water.

3. Don’t take cold showers.

4. Don’t take a sitz bath. Because the endometrium has countless small wounds during menstruation and the cervix opens, it is easy to get infected.

5. Wash the genitals and feet separately.

3. Cleansing during pregnancy

1. Due to pregnancy, the amount of vaginal discharge increases, which makes it particularly susceptible to infection by bacteria. Wash it with warm water several times a day.

2. Change your underwear every day and dry the washed underwear in the sun.

3. If you have unusual vaginal discharge (large amount and foul odor), you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

4. Cleaning after production

1. Bathing should be done 3 days after delivery in summer and one week after delivery in winter.

2. It is best to shower with warm water.

3. Don’t take a sitz bath.

4. If there is a bad odor, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

5. Unexplained vulvar itching

1. Wash the vulva with warm water several times a day.

2. Apply antipruritic agent to the vulva after washing.

3. Experts remind: Use sanitary pads less often.

Sanitary pads should not be used frequently.

Long-term use of sanitary pads will greatly increase local humidity and temperature, especially in hot and humid climates. This not only creates suitable conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, but also destroys the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, reduces the local protective barrier function, and can cause vaginitis. In addition, the friction of sanitary pads can easily cause damage to local skin or hair follicles, leading to diseases such as vulvar folliculitis. Therefore, sanitary pads should not be used for a long time.

How to clean the vulva correctly? It is far from enough to understand this problem. We need to choose carefully when purchasing products for cleaning the genitals. Only in this way can the female genitals be guaranteed to be healthy and safe. Especially during menstruation, sanitary napkins should be changed frequently, and the genitals should be cleaned frequently. This can ensure that no disease is infected to a certain extent.
