Women must do one thing after urinating

Generally speaking, women's restrooms in public places are more crowded than men's restrooms, and women spend longer in the restroom. In addition to the female physiological structure and slower movements, women may also have one more thing to do after urinating. Do you know what it is?

Wipe after urinating

The female urethra is shorter and straighter than that of the male. At the same time, the skin of the perineum has deeper and more wrinkles. Therefore, the bacteria that multiply at the urethral opening are prone to retrograde infection and cause inflammation of the urethra and bladder. Foreign data show that among patients aged 20-50, the incidence of urinary tract infection in women is 50 times higher than that in men. Statistics from the World Health Organization indicate that 50%-60% of female urinary and reproductive tract inflammations are caused by unclean lower body.

How to wipe effectively

Since you have to wipe it, can you wipe it any way you want? Of course not. You must pay attention to the direction of wiping when wiping. Use clean toilet paper to wipe from front to back. If you wipe it the other way around, it will easily bring dirt from the anus to the vagina and urethra, which is not good for your health. In addition, some doctors also said that it is best not to wipe with wet wipes, because the chemical ingredients added by wet wipes may be harmful to the health of women's private parts, and after wiping with wet wipes, there will still be a problem of moisture.

Only qualified toilet paper can

When discussing "Should women use paper to wipe after urinating", there is an opposing view that a lot of toilet paper is recycled paper, which contains a large number of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, Shigella dysenteriae, etc. If you wipe the vulva too frequently with a tissue, bacteria can easily stay and multiply in the vagina. When the bacteria reach a certain number, it may cause vaginitis or vulvitis. The best way is to do nothing after urinating and change your underwear every day. In fact, the key to the conflict between the two views is the quality of toilet paper. my country's national standards for toilet paper have clear requirements for the microorganisms in toilet paper. If the paper is truly qualified, it is unlikely to cause infection.

All in all, as long as you keep your private parts dry and clean, all kinds of problems will be solved.

In this case, if you want to prevent urinary tract and reproductive tract inflammation, it is necessary to keep the lower body (urethral opening and vaginal opening) clean. If you do not wipe your underwear dry in time after urinating, the residual urine will make the underwear partially damp, providing a suitable breeding environment for various bacteria, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases such as urinary tract inflammation, vulvitis and vulvar eczema.
