A gynaecologist has noticed that most girls are confused about the private part hygiene. So, to solve most queries and answer most common questions, here are some basic yet very Important points for all women.
What you must know about the vagiina
The vagiina is a self-cleaning part of your body that does not need some help from any other person to keep it clean. See what you must know:
Remember that it is a very sensitive area. Clean it gently with warm water.You must not use shampoos and soaps, as they contain chemicals that hamper the natural protective pH balance of the vagiina.
Special pH balancing vaginal washes are available in the market, which should be used.
Avoid using deodorants and talcum powders as they can cause irritation. Do not be embarrassed about the natural vaginal smell. It is peculiar to each woman and is due to the sweat glands present at the vaginal opening. Cleaning the area with water and patting dry with toilet paper every time you use the toilet, will keep away odour. If you do notice a strange difference in the smell, similar to a fishy odour, it is best to consult your gynaecologist.
It can be a sign of an infection.
Make sure to wear comfortably-fitting (not too tight) cotton panties after patting the skin dry.
Make sure you handwash your underwear separately. Soaking it along with other clothes highly increases the chances of bacterial infection.
Make sure you change your sanitary pad every 3-4 hours. Bacteria can quickly multiply in pad worn for longer time periods. Also, during your periods, make sure to keep the private part area extra clean with clinically recommended feminine washes.
