What are the methods of pelvic floor muscle care?

After giving birth, many female friends will obviously feel that their vagina has different degrees of looseness. Vaginal looseness will not only affect the couple's life, but also may give many gynecological diseases an opportunity to take advantage. At this time, it is best to use some better methods to take good care of it, reduce the possibility of bacterial growth and viral infection, and thus effectively protect the health of the pelvic floor muscles.

Secret 1: The vagina can also peel

Under the influence of estrogen, the epithelial cells of the vagina can undergo periodic changes and fall off, which is a natural metabolism.

Secret 2: The vagina’s natural defense barrier

The labia minora on both sides of the vulva are often closed, and the front and back walls of the vagina are tightly attached together, forming a natural defense barrier.

Secret 3: The pH value of the vagina is between 3.8 and 4.5

Due to the action of normal bacteria, the acidity and alkalinity of this space is maintained between pH 3.8-4.5, so most pathogenic bacteria that adapt to survive in alkaline environments cannot grow and reproduce here.

Secret 4: Leucorrhea is not dirty, it is also a "clean vaginal hand"

Due to the presence of leucorrhea, foreign pathogens cannot survive in the vagina, thus keeping the vagina safe. This is medically known as "vaginal self-cleaning effect." This self-cleaning effect is actually due to the large number of beneficial bacteria in the vagina - Lactobacillus vagini. This bacterium can convert the glycogen contained in the keratinized epithelial cells in the vaginal wall into lactic acid, thereby inhibiting the invasion of harmful bacteria into the vagina. However, vaginal lactobacilli cannot grow in a dry environment and can only thrive in a moist state. Leucorrhea just happens to moisten the vagina, which promotes the growth of vaginal lactobacilli and maintains the self-cleaning function of the vagina. From this we can see that normal leucorrhea is not redundant, and the view that leucorrhea is dirty and needs to be "cleaned" is wrong.

Secret 5: The vagina is self-cleaning

Various glands in the vagina can secrete some fluids to lubricate and clean the vagina. It should be noted that excessive cleaning of the vagina during bathing will wash away the natural lubricants and probiotics, causing the growth of anaerobic bacteria and mold, leading to abnormal secretion, odor and itching, etc. Therefore, just rinse the vulva and do not use vaginal douches.

For the care of private parts, in addition to paying attention to personal hygiene, you should also go to the hospital for regular check-ups, so that many gynecological diseases can be discovered as early as possible, and then receive effective treatment in the early stages, reducing some damage to the female body. Especially when there are abnormalities in leucorrhea, a gynecological examination should be performed as soon as possible.
