What are the vulva disinfectants?

The female genitals are an area where bacteria are easily produced because some substances secreted from the genitals make them a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, for women who care about their genital hygiene, they usually use some special disinfectants to clean their vulva. Because this can effectively prevent vaginal infection and inflammation. What disinfectants can be used in the process of cleaning the vulva?

The leucorrhea that flows out of the vagina will adhere to the skin of the vulva, and it also contains components such as sweat and urine. Therefore, if you cannot take a bath every day, it is helpful to wash the vulva with some lotion. There are some issues that you should pay attention to when choosing and using lotion. You need to pay attention to:

1. Lotions containing Chinese herbal ingredients are usually milder and do not cause much irritation to the skin. However, the quality of domestic manufacturers varies greatly, and some Chinese herbal washes themselves contain excessive bacteria, so you should be careful when choosing.

2. Disinfectant-type washes are very reliable in their ability to kill bacteria, but they can sometimes have a slight adverse effect on the skin, leaving it dry after washing. Some people may be allergic to this type of lotion.

3. Various effervescent tablet solutions containing metronidazole are usually suitable for people with trichomoniasis or bacterial infections. Metronidazole has a clear therapeutic effect on trichomoniasis.

4. In fact, the "daily care solution" sold in many stores does not contain too many medicinal ingredients. Taking a bath every day can also help prevent vulvar skin inflammation.

5. Baking soda solution is specifically used for candidal vaginitis, because soda is alkaline, and fungi are difficult to grow in an alkaline environment. Of course, the treatment of candidal vaginitis cannot rely solely on soda water, and various vaginal suppositories for treating fungi should be used at the same time.

Common Misunderstandings in the Use of Lotion

Myth 1: Using alcohol to wash the vulva

Although alcohol is a well-known disinfectant, it is highly irritating to the delicate mucous membrane and skin of the vulva. You will understand this once you have used it.

Myth 2: Washing liquid can prevent STDs

The gonococci that cause gonorrhea, the Treponema pallidum that causes syphilis, the papillomavirus that causes genital warts, etc. can be transmitted directly to the cervix and even enter the uterine cavity. Therefore, flushing the vagina with various lotions afterwards cannot wash away these pathogenic substances.

To prevent STDs, the best way is to stay clean or use condoms. In short, lotions cannot prevent STDs.

Conclusion: When using these chemicals, you must pay attention to the usage specifications to avoid causing unnecessary harm to your body.
