How To Keep Your womanliness Healthy And Clean by learsino(m): 5:42am On Nov 21, 2013 |
Just like any part of the body, keeping a healthy vagina means taking care of surface areas, avoiding chemicals and listening to your body when something feels out of place. Wash It: Wash with hot water only. It may seem counterintuitive, but washing your vagina with soap, whether it's bar soap or liquid, isn't the best way to keep clean. The vagina actually stays quite clean on its own without the help of outside cleansers. Like other parts of the body, the vagina has a pH level that needs to be maintained within a certain range - 3.5 and 4.5, to be specific - in order to prevent the growth of unhealthy bacteria and facilitate the growth of good bacteria. Using harsh cleansers can upset the balance, leading to infection, irritation, and even bad smells.People often refer to the entire area "down there" as the vagina, but remember that the vagina is actually the tube-like muscle located inside your body. The vulva, the skin outside the vagina, may be cleansed with no-frills bar soap, as long as you don't find that it irritates your skin. If you do end up washing your vagina with soap, make sure to thoroughly rinse it with warm water so that no traces of soap are left behind. Soap left inside the vagina can cause irritations. Stay away from liquid body washes because they often irritate the vulva area and can lead to burning or itching. Also, you don't have to wash your vagina with a soap-based substance every time you go to the wash-room -- over-cleaning can also cause irritation. DON'T Aim To Smell Like Flowers: "Avoid all sprays, lotions and deodorants in this area. It is not supposed to smell like flowers," Lyon says. Some baby wipes and feminine hygiene wipes could lead to irritation. Do not use pads and panty-liners everyday to feel fresh. "Constant use causes skin irritation and prevents the skin from breathing in the area." Wipe From The Front: Always wipe from front to back. . "Wiping wrong drags butt bacteria forward and it can get in the wrong spot creating irritation and an infection. Avoid Certain Lubricants: Avoid using Vaseline, rubbing alcohol and other heavy-duty lubricants in the area. "Choose water-based lubricants or silicone-based lubricants. Look For Change: "The main signs of an imbalance are change in odour, discharge, appearance, itching or pain during intercourse. Stay Cautious: If you're heading to a waxing salon for a bikini or Brazilian wax, make sure you do your research. "Make sure you're seen by a licensed esthetician and that they don't double-dip the wax application stick." Take A Look Yourself: It's your vagina -- make sure you know everything about it. Look, touch and feel for changes. Talk To Your Doctor: Visit your gynecologist at least once a year for a health check-up. You may also want to consider getting a pap smear depending on your age and history. source: [url]pharmradiong..com[/url] |
