Women should never use paper to wipe this place

Adolescent girls tend to neglect private hygiene. The most common mistake made by adolescent girls who have just started menstruating is to neglect private hygiene. If these girls receive correct guidance from their elders or learn relevant knowledge themselves during their menarche, they will have a better understanding of menstrual hygiene and can avoid many unnecessary troubles. However, many young girls have a vague understanding of menstruation and are too shy to talk to their elders about precautions during menstruation. As a result, they are more likely to neglect menstrual hygiene or use unclean toilet paper, which results in contamination of the genitals by unclean toilet paper, giving bacteria an opportunity to cause vaginitis.

Toilet paper exposed for too long is contaminated by bacteria

The female vagina is a sensitive and fragile area, which is extremely susceptible to bacterial infection. If the toilet paper used in the private parts is contaminated with bacteria, then for women, this will undoubtedly lay the "root cause" of vaginal inflammation. In order to facilitate carrying and use at any time, some women are accustomed to taking out toilet paper and putting it in their pockets, which is convenient and saves trouble. But this is not safe.

If you put toilet paper in your bag, it will easily come into contact with items such as cash and keys. The amount of bacteria these items carry is beyond our imagination. When mixed together, the toilet paper is also contaminated with bacteria. The toilet paper in your pocket easily absorbs human sweat and is more attractive to bacteria. Once these unclean toilet papers come into contact with your private parts, bacteria will "swarm" and "run rampant" in your vagina.

It is best to have private toilet paper in packaging

If you are used to using toilet paper to clean your private parts, then you must pay attention that it is best to use packaged toilet paper and take it out as you use it. Do not pull it out alone and expose it to an environment full of bacteria.

In addition, adolescent girls should pay attention to personal hygiene and use sanitary utensils alone and not mix them with other people's. Underwear should be washed separately and not mixed with socks, outerwear, etc. At the same time, you should learn more about health knowledge. If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor in time and don't be afraid to see a doctor.

The more you wipe with paper towels, the more bacteria you get?

In fact, most women cannot do without toilet paper when going to the toilet. However, this habit of self-proclaimed cleanliness and hygiene is actually a potential risk factor for gynecological diseases. Nowadays, many toilet papers are 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.

Experts remind women not to use public toilet paper outside, because this kind of paper towels are usually of poor quality, contain more bacteria, and are particularly prone to induce vaginitis. In addition, many people will put some toilet paper in their pockets in case of emergency. Whether the facial tissue is put in directly or packaged, it is easy to be contaminated with bacteria once it is opened. Therefore, if you have kept toilet paper in your pocket for a few days, it is best not to use it to wipe your vulva.

Expert advice: Don’t use anything after urinating

If you don’t use toilet paper to wipe, what should you do after you urinate? Experts say occasional use will not have a big impact, but don't rub it hard, just press it lightly a few times. In fact, the best way is to do nothing after urinating, because women change their underwear almost every day. After getting used to it, you will not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, it will be healthier and cleaner.

1. Welcome to the ovulation period

As you get closer to ovulation, your cervix lifts slightly and becomes more open and softer. At this time, if you adopt the upper position during sex, you will feel more pleasure.

The "missionary position" sexual position is prone to causing urinary tract infections, because the male groin area is easy to hide dirt and filth, and the "missionary position" is a position that allows the male groin to be as close to the female urethra as possible. Change your postures more often, which not only adds interest but also prevents disease.

2. Check your private parts yourself

Are you worried about the new small tumors around your vulva? You can do a DIY check first: dip a small piece of cotton gauze in a little table vinegar and place it on the tumor for 2 minutes. If the tumor changes color to white, you should see a doctor to see if it needs minor surgery to remove it; if the color does not change, it is most likely harmless.

If you go for a gynecological examination, you should urinate immediately after the examination to prevent bacterial invasion. You may want to drink a large glass of water before the test so that you will feel the urge to urinate afterward.

3. Beware of abnormal vulva conditions

In addition to monthly breast self-examination, "vulvar self-examination" is also performed by female doctors. If you notice any of the following 4 things, get checked out right away:

A. Newly appeared black spots;

B. Lumps that have not subsided after one week;

C, small, white dots;

D. The vulvar skin becomes thinner.

4. Healthy sex is not that easy

Be careful when things heat up between you and a new guy and you're ready for "that"! About a third of men lie about their sexual health. Therefore, it is better to wait until you know him better before getting passionate about him.

If you're prone to urinary tract infections even if you pay extra attention to hygiene, it's probably because of your genes. Medicine can't explain why this happens, but it does happen.

5. Safe period contraception is unreliable

Having sex today will lead to pregnancy next week? It is entirely possible! Isn’t it said that the sperm quality of men nowadays is generally declining? That’s right, but the activity of a man’s sperm ranges from as little as 48 hours to 8 days! Therefore, there is no longer a so-called "safe period", and contraceptive measures must be taken every time you have sex.

6. Contraceptive pills are a big deal

If you forget 3 days in a cycle, it would be like eating in vain.

When your doctor prescribes you medication, always remember to ask: "I am taking oral contraceptives. Will the medication you are prescribing affect the effectiveness of the contraceptives?"

Oral contraceptives contain estrogen, which is beneficial to bone health, but some injectable contraceptives can accelerate osteoporosis. So, talk to your doctor about the best birth control method for you.
