To prevent vaginitis, remember these 6 things you shouldn’t do

Women's private parts are easily invaded by various germs. According to a survey, 75% of women have suffered from candidal vaginitis at least once in their lives. Women with vaginitis usually feel itching and burning pain in the vulva, and their leucorrhea is thick and curd-like or tofu-like. Let’s talk about some “don’ts” that lead to vaginitis.

Don’t: Over-cleaning

Frequent use of medicated cleansers or lotions to clean the vulva can also cause vaginitis. You should know that everything has its limits. It is enough to wash the vulva with clean water every day. Don't choose soap and lotion unnecessarily.

Another thing to note is that if you frequently use sanitary pads, you may think that your body is clean, but in fact, the opposite is true. The closed environment it creates can easily destroy the inherent microenvironment of the vagina and reduce the vagina's self-antibacterial ability.

Therefore, instead of laboriously washing them every day using various methods, it is better to buy a dozen cotton underwear at a time, wash them every day, and replace them every 3 months.

Second, don’t: abuse antibiotics

While broad-spectrum antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria, they also inhibit some beneficial bacteria. Unsuppressed and foreign drug-resistant bacteria will take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers, including mold. In this way, we are very likely to suffer from "Candida vaginitis". Therefore, remember that antibiotics must be used with extreme caution.

Three things you shouldn’t do: Body shaping can cause problems

In order to have a charming figure, many office ladies will try all kinds of ways to shape their bodies and lose weight, and many of them like to use body shaping underwear. When buying tight underwear, be sure not to buy chemical fiber tight underwear for cheap, because it can increase the temperature and humidity of the vagina. The hot and stuffy environment is a nest for mold!

Four things not to do: Using a washing machine without disinfecting it

In fact, there is mold hidden in almost every washing machine! Moreover, health surveys show that most of the mold on clothes comes from washing machines. The more frequently you wash, the more mold there is. Therefore, you must remember to soak the washing machine barrel in hot water above 60 degrees Celsius regularly. Mold is afraid of high temperatures, and high temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius will make them disappear immediately.

Five things not to do: Wash underwear and socks together

Bacteria that live in various places can easily infect each other. If you suffer from athlete's foot, but wash your underwear and socks together, then these "visiting" fungi can become the culprit of vaginitis and repeated infections. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately.

Six things not to do: Unconditional use of contraceptive pills

Some women are prone to candidal vaginitis after taking birth control pills because the estrogen in birth control pills promotes the production of fungal hyphae, causing it to further invade the vaginal tissue. At this time, if you still insist on taking birth control pills, it is your fault. You should immediately switch to other contraceptive methods, which not only protects your health, but also his.
