When it comes to vaginitis, people often associate it with sex life, thinking that it is a special disease of married women, and also associate vaginitis with not paying attention to local hygiene. In fact, in addition to these two reasons, 6 misconducts in summer can also cause vaginitis, which will be introduced in detail below!
6 Summer Mistakes That Can Cause Vaginal Inflammation
1. Sanitary pads. Some women use sanitary pads every day during the non-menstrual period, but they only change them almost once a day . This not only fails to keep the private parts dry, but may become a breeding ground for bacteria . If sanitary napkins and panty liners must be used, it is recommended to replace them every 2-3 hours.
2. Swimming is unclean. Many people often feel itchy private parts after swimming, which is likely to be vaginitis. Swimming "wild swimming" or the water in the swimming pool is not clean, and the disinfection is not in place, etc., the pathogens in the water may invade the vagina. Before swimming, you must first rule out that you do not have vaginitis and other easily contagious gynecological diseases, so as not to aggravate the condition or infect others. After swimming, wash the vulva with flowing water and drink plenty of water.
3. Old lotion. Some people think that itching and leucorrhea can be washed away only by washing with lotion every day. This is actually the most common mistake made by female friends. In fact, the vagina has powerful self-purification and defense functions. Blind use of lotion may destroy the self-defense system of the vagina, break the acid-base balance, aggravate or cause diseases. In fact, change your underwear every day and wash your vulva with clean water.
4. Dress too tightly. Slim leggings and sexy thongs, these seemingly attractive ways of wearing may induce gynecological inflammation. On the one hand , both are mostly made of chemical fiber material, which has poor air permeability; on the other hand, tight pants are likely to cause high temperature in the private parts, secretions cannot be released in time, and germs are easy to breed. When walking, they are also prone to friction against the urethral opening, vagina, anus, etc., resulting in hyperemia, redness, swelling, and even damage to the perineum. In summer, loose and breathable cotton pants , especially underwear, should be worn as much as possible.
5. Small hotel accommodation. There is a common vaginitis called "trichomonal vaginitis", which is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas are highly adaptable and can survive for 1 day in a semi-dry towel and 5 days in tap water. Therefore, when traveling, you must pay attention to choosing a place with hygienic guarantees, and avoid going to small hotels with poor sanitation to avoid infection with germs through toilets, bedding, towels, etc.
6. In addition, sedentary, drinking too little water, etc., may also induce gynecological inflammation. If female friends have symptoms such as genital itching, increased leucorrhea, abnormal traits, and odor, they should be vigilant. If vaginitis persists for a long time, the bacteria may go up the reproductive system, "invade" the uterus, fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, cause chronic inflammation, and even become the culprit of ectopic pregnancy and infertility . Therefore, when relevant symptoms appear, it is best to see a doctor first to determine the type of vaginitis, and then carry out targeted treatment to avoid recurrence.
The content described above is the misbehavior that is likely to cause vaginitis. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and pay attention to defense so as to stay away from the disease.
