2. Clean the vulva and anus frequently: Pay attention to the order when cleaning, wash the vulva first and then the anus, and never do the other way around; towels and basins should be used by one person only, otherwise bacteria can easily invade the urethral opening.

3. Selection of sanitary napkins: Be sure to use products with Ph4 weak acid formula to prevent inferior products from destroying the body's normal flora and reducing local resistance. When purchasing sanitary napkins, pay attention to the product quality and do not store them for a long time to avoid breeding bacteria and causing vulvar and vaginal infections. If symptoms such as vulvar itching and increased vaginal discharge occur, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

4. Drink as much water as possible: Clinically proven, drinking plenty of water every day and urinating every 2-3 hours can prevent the reproduction of Trichomonas vaginalis in the urinary tract and reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections.
