What are the more common methods of bacterial vaginosis care?

The female genitals have a special physiological and anatomical structure, and they also have the ability to self-clean. Lactobacillus is the main factor that maintains the acid balance in the vagina. Although they can self-clean, women still need to take proper care of them in their daily lives. If they are not properly cared for, they are likely to suffer from bacterial vaginosis.

1. Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2-3 days. Do not wash the vagina every day. It is best to use running water each time you wash. Do not reuse the water after washing. You can buy a vaginal douche to spray water on the vulva. The order of washing is from front to back, that is, first the labia majora and minora, then the vaginal opening, and then the anus. If you have the conditions to take a bath once a day, you can just wash the vulva when you take a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

2. For those who have sex, it is best to clean the external genitalia before each sex. In addition, you should have a fixed sexual partner. If the other party has inflammation of the external genitalia, do not have sex with him/her for the time being, or use condoms.

3. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Choose sanitary napkins with good breathability to avoid itching and redness of the private parts caused by the discomfort of sanitary napkins. It is best not to use sanitary pads at ordinary times, and just change underwear frequently.

4. Choose cotton underwear, wash them separately and dry them in the sun. Patients with athlete's foot should fix the order of bedding when sleeping, and do not put underwear at the feet, so as to prevent the bacteria from bedding from infecting the private parts.

5. In daily life, bedding should be often aired to kill micro-bacteria, and the room should be ventilated. In addition, attention should be paid to strengthening physical exercise, enhancing physical fitness and improving immunity.
