Women's Health: Precautions for Cleaning the Vagina. The external genitalia and vagina of women have a unique ecological environment to protect their own safety. However, modern women believe that the correct cleaning method disrupts the vaginal environment.
According to Reuters on February 20th, research in the United States shows that women who frequently wash their vagina are more likely to develop sexually transmitted diseases. The US Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology reported the study, saying it was the first time to contact women's special health habits and sexually transmitted diseases. Numerous studies have shown that flushing the vagina is not beneficial for women's health.
On the other hand, disrupting the normal microbial environment of the vagina can lead to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and crimes.
On the other hand, it gives women the illusion of being clean and relaxing their vigilance when facing unsafe behavior. Researcher and Professor Stern H. Van Mond of Vanderbil University School of Medicine in Tennessee, United States.
The researchers selected 368 women with an average age of 17. After three years of research, these women need to record their daily hygiene habits, such as bathing, washing the vagina, and using vaginal cleansers. The results showed that after excluding race, age, sexual experience, and traditional infection history, compared to 88 women who had never washed their vagina, those who frequently washed their vagina had a double chance of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Van Monde emphasized that unless instructed by a professional gynecologist, do not wash the vagina.
