Maintaining vaginal health is essential for overall well-being and confidence. Proper hygiene and care will keep infection, itching, and pain away. We at Dr. Avhad Hospital empower women with information regarding how to be healthy.
Certain tips that cannot be missed to take care of and be hygienic for optimal vaginal well-being are the following:
1. Practice Regular Hygiene
Dailly cleanliness is the secret to vaginal health. Daily washing of the external genitalia with warm water is a must. Harsh soaps and perfumed items are not to be utilized as they may disrupt the normal pH level and give rise to irritation. Mild, fragrance-free soaps are to be used if necessary.
2. Wear Breathable Fabrics
Choose underwear with a breathable fabric like cotton. The material will ensure air flow and prevent excessive moisture accumulation that may lead to infection. Steer clear of tight clothing, especially where the genitalia are concerned, to prevent friction and irritation.
3. Drink lots of water
Not only does drinking water improve your general health, but it also makes your vagina moist. Adequate water intake allows for natural lubrication and toxin removal from the body, and your vaginal ecosystem remains healthy.
4. Eat a Balanced Diet
Eating a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, whole foods and lean protein might support vaginal health. Foods like yogurt contain probiotics in them that will keep the vagina in balance of good bacteria. Consuming these foods could prevent infection and maintain overall good health.
5. Do Not Douche
Douching kills the natural vaginal flora and leads to infection. The vagina self-cleanses, and douching kills this process. Instead, practice gentle cleansing of the outer surface and allow the rest to be taken care of by your body.
6. Practice Safe Sex
Practicing safe sex is important to avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms are an effective barrier technique by which you can both keep yourselves safe from infection. Periodic STI checkup is also required to ensure sexual well-being.
7. Know Your Body
Knowing your “normal” body allows you to detect changes before a problem arises. Periodic check-ups and regular self-examining, inspecting any unusual-looking or-feeling areas that might advise you to have some medical knowledge in the case early enough.
8. Plan Regular Check-Ups
Regular check-ups with your gynaecologist are necessary to keep your vagina healthy. Regular check-ups can detect any problem early and keep your reproductive system in perfect condition.
9. Stress Management
Stress may also affect general health, including vaginal health. Engage in stress-reducing measures such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to stay balanced and healthy.
10. Lubricate When Necessary
Vaginal dryness, especially during intercourse, may be eased using water lubricants. Petroleum-based creams are to be avoided due to them irritating the vagina.
11. Using Unfragranced Products
Perfumed sprays, pads, and tampons may seem appealing but are aggravating and disturb the natural pH balance of the vagina. Permitted only under perfumed goods, change tampons and pads frequently for hygiene.
12. Educate Yourself
Knowledge is power. Inform yourself regarding vaginal health and scan the best data. There are numerous trusted resources to consult with, like your healthcare professional, who can provide advice suited to your case.
