Can I use soda water to wash my vulva?

Soda water seems to be very popular nowadays and is often snapped up in supermarkets. It's not because of any other reason, but because some scientists have pointed out that drinking alkaline water regularly is good for the body. However, in addition to drinking, soda water has other benefits. For example, women can use it to clean their vulva. Since soda water can improve the acid-base state of the private parts, it is very effective for vaginal inflammation. Let’s take a look at the specific operation methods below.

Soda water must be no stranger to many of my friends. Since soda water is an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, the scientific and reasonable use of soda water to clean the vulva has a good effect on candidal vaginitis and candidal vaginitis. However, it is not suitable for long-term use. The main reason is that soda water can easily change the acid-base balance of the vagina, thereby making the vagina lose its ability to resist external bacteria.

The inside of a woman's vagina, vulva and vaginal secretions are normally acidic, which is of great significance in inhibiting bacterial growth, ensuring the balance of bacterial flora and reducing the chance of vaginal infection. However, if you use alkaline lotions to clean the vulva, it will inevitably cause bacterial imbalance in the long run. If alkaline ingredients dominate the vagina, the vagina will lose its natural ability to resist bacteria.

Normally, soda water is usually needed to be used to clean the vulva with normal saline or an appropriate amount of warm boiled water. The main purpose is to reduce the alkaline components of soda water, so as to achieve the positive effect of vulva cleaning and disinfection while avoiding the possible side effects of soda water. Therefore, you should pay attention to the combination of washing liquids. If you are a healthy woman, there is no need to use soda water for cleaning, you can directly use warm boiled water to clean.

Through the above introduction, I believe many friends have some understanding of how to clean the vagina with soda water. Since soda water has strict indications and contraindications for cleaning the vagina, you should pay attention to the usage method for situations where soda water is suitable for cleaning and disinfection.
