Six Misunderstandings of Women Cleaning Their Private Parts

Due to the special physiological structure of women, women are very susceptible to gynecological diseases, which makes women panic. Therefore, in daily life, we will buy some cleaning liquid to clean our private parts. However, I would like to remind everyone that most of the cleaning solutions sold on the market today cannot clean away pathogenic substances, nor can they prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Therefore, female friends should not clean their private parts blindly. Now, I will introduce to you some common misunderstandings that female friends often make when cleaning their private parts.

1. Cleansing fluid can prevent STDs

wrong. The cleaning liquids on the market, whether they are prefixed with "医" or "健", have no effect in preventing sexually transmitted diseases. The causative agents of sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonococci, Treponema pallidum, and papillomavirus, can be transmitted directly to the cervix and even enter the uterine cavity. Therefore, flushing the vagina with various private cleaning products afterwards cannot wash away these pathogenic substances. To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, the best way is to keep yourself clean or use condoms. In short, private cleaning products cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Chinese medicine cleaning fluid has no side effects

wrong. Although we often say that Chinese medicine has no side effects, that is only relative and should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Moreover, Chinese herbal medicines have a short shelf life and are prone to spoilage and mold. Such private cleaning products may be harmful after use. Especially now, some unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies add chemical ingredients to traditional Chinese medicine private parts cleaning products to achieve certain therapeutic purposes, which should arouse the vigilance of consumers and related patients. So, don't blindly believe the nonsense in advertisements that they are effective and have no side effects.

3. Daily cleaning can prevent inflammation

wrong. Many women pay great attention to the hygiene of their private parts and believe that they must be cleaned every day to be healthy and safe. Little do people know that this is a big misunderstanding. In fact, the vagina of a healthy woman is just like her mouth, with dozens of kinds of bacteria breeding in it normally, but they remain safe because of the existence of vaginal "guards". Daily washing often washes harmful bacteria out of the vagina, while also killing the bacteria that protect the human body, thus destroying the local acidic environment and making it impossible for the vagina to protect itself.

4. Can effectively prevent pregnancy

wrong. Many people do not take proper contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, but are afraid of getting pregnant, so they think of using cleaning their private parts as a way of contraception. Little did they know that this was just an attempt to cover up one's own mistakes. After ejaculation, sperm can reach the uterine cavity through the cervical canal within a few minutes. When the woman is carefully flushing, the "vanguard" of the sperm "army" has already entered the uterine cavity to "set up camp", and it is too late to take contraceptive measures.

5. Can effectively remove odor

wrong. Many women feel that their private parts have an odor, so in order to get rid of the odor, they choose to clean their private parts. In fact, what many people think of as vaginal odor is just the natural smell of the vagina. This odor is a sign of good health and there is no need to worry about it. Look at it from another perspective, even if the vagina does produce an odor, flushing alone will not be enough. Because flushing can only maintain the odor-free state for a short period of time, if the cause is not eliminated, the odor will soon return.

6. Can treat cervical erosion

wrong. Many women suffering from cervical erosion mistakenly believe that the extensive use of private cleaning products can effectively treat cervical erosion. Little do people know that when treating cervical erosion, attention should be paid to repairing damaged vaginal mucosal tissue and restoring the self-cleaning system. During care and treatment, the vaginal mucosa should be protected and the self-cleaning system should be maintained. Therefore, in the treatment of cervical erosion, it is not advisable to use a large amount of irritating vaginal washing fluid, otherwise it is easy to cause local infection.
