Tips for preventing vaginitis

Tips for preventing vaginitis

Everyone has heard of vaginitis, which is a very common gynecological inflammation in women. When women's immunity is low, such as during menstruation or pregnancy, if they do not pay attention to the hygiene of their genitals, it is easy for bacteria to invade and cause vaginitis. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, which is especially aggravated after sexual intercourse and may be accompanied by mild vulvar itching or burning sensation. How to prevent vaginitis? Let me provide you with some common sense.

1. Daily cleaning of the vulva

Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2 to 3 days, and avoid flushing 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. Cleaning utensils should be used by one person only.

2. Pay attention to hygiene during sex

For those who have sex, it is best to clean their 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. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene

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

4. Choice of underwear

It is recommended that women 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. other

In daily life, bedding should be dried frequently and the room should be ventilated. In addition, you should do more physical exercise to improve your physical fitness.

6. Clean the area properly

Women should learn the correct local cleaning method during menstruation and avoid using various vaginal washes frequently to prevent destroying the normal flora environment in the vagina and inducing vaginal inflammation. Try to use clean water to clean the vagina, and do not put your fingers or towel deep into the vagina during the cleaning process to prevent bacteria from invading and causing vaginal infection. In addition, when choosing a vaginal cleanser, choose an acidic cleanser and never an alkaline cleanser.

I think everyone is clear about the common sense of preventing vaginal infection. I hope this will be helpful to women. They can understand various preventive measures and develop good living habits to maintain physical and mental health. No matter what disease it is, there are ways and methods to prevent it. This requires choosing and learning according to their own situation. Of course, if you encounter a situation that you cannot solve by yourself, you should seek medical attention in time to ensure your health. Wish you good health!
