FEMALE INTIMATE HEALTH
A woman's body is a sensitive organism, and sweat, blood, moisture, urine are normal and natural things, which are part of life, and therefore should not be ignored.
This is because a lack of care or seemingly harmless habits can harm intimate health, resulting in discomfort and illness.
From an early age, it is essential that girls are guided and educated about women's health. Generally, women see a gynecologist after starting their sexual life, however, ideally this should be done before that.
This way, a gynecologist could answer any questions and talk about everything the young woman needs to know about hormonal changes, contraceptive methods, menstrual cycles and especially about hygiene in the intimate area.
FEMININE HYGIENE
We'll show you some tips on how to take care of a woman's intimate area, which is one of women's main doubts and concerns.
It is extremely important and must be done correctly so as not to harm women's intimate health. This is because in addition to diseases and infections, incorrect intimate hygiene can result in bad odors, inflamed lumps on the skin, and inflammation of the sweat glands.
That's why we've brought you tips below:
WASH THE AREA WITH WATER
The first tip is that the intimate area should be washed daily with just water and neutral soap. In this way, it avoids unbalancing the vaginal microbiota and the proliferation of disease-causing microorganisms.
Pay special attention to the external part, which contains several folds in the skin and can accumulate residue.
Soaps used on the rest of the body, generally in bars, should be avoided in the intimate area. This is because they tend to have good detergency and cause a lot of foam, and due to the alkaline pH they can destroy the natural protection of the skin in the intimate region, affecting female intimate health.
AVOID WET TWIPES OR PERFUMED TOILET PAPER
Using wet wipes ends up being useful when you need to perform intimate hygiene outside the home or in emergencies.
But the fact is that these wipes, as well as scented toilet paper, should be avoided, being used only in cases of great need, and even then a few times a day. This is because used in excess can cause dryness in the vagina and irritation.
All of this contributes to eliminating the natural lubrication of the region, in addition to altering the vaginal pH.
INTIMATE HEALTH CARE
In addition to hygiene of the intimate region, there are other special precautions that make all the difference in women's health. Check out what they are below:
HEALTH DURING MENSTRUATION
It is quite obvious that during menstruation, intimate hygiene care should be intensified. There are several different methods to contain bleeding, such as external absorbents, internal pads, menstrual cups, among others. Regardless of the method, it requires periodic changes associated with local hygiene.
WAXING CARE
Fully shaving favors the growth of harmful microorganisms, caused by vaginal discharge and increases the chances of diseases. Furthermore, shaving with razors and other methods also destroys the skin's protective layer and reduces the region's natural lubrication.
You can wax, but you need to take some care and avoid excess. Using the razor more than 3 times a week is not recommended as it can cause a lot of skin irritation.
CLEANING AFTER SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
After sexual intercourse, it is very important to practice good hygiene, in order to avoid infections and diseases and take care of female intimate health. Immediately after intimate contact, it is recommended to urinate and then wash the area thoroughly with water and a little intimate soap.
Once this is done, dry the area well and change your panties or daily protector.
