Ways to care for the cleanliness and smell of sensitive areas

Many girls think that caring for sensitive areas is a matter for married women only, and this is wrong; Because girls’ sensitive areas need constant care and cleanliness, because those areas are prone to infections due to bacteria and fungi that consist of a lack of hygiene in the surrounding moist environment.

A set of tips to take care of the sensitive area from the gynecologist Dr. Reham Al-Balawi offers you:

Wash the front and back sensitive area with lukewarm water, and be careful not to use hot water, after every need, after going out and walking for long periods, and before bed.

Dry sensitive areas with thick paper towels and be careful of light tissues, which may leave a residue, and if possible, use small clean towels individually and change them frequently.

Use a lotion designed for sensitive areas for cleaning, or a specialized soap, or even baby soap, but you must take into account not to overdo it.

Avoid regular shampoos, soaps, and lotions that contain perfume. Which may cause irritation in sensitive areas.

Change underwear frequently, wear clean underwear before bed, and be careful to choose comfortable and appropriate clothes.

– Removing hair from sensitive areas is very important, and this should be every two or three weeks; Because hair contributes to the growth of bacteria that cause itching.

– If you want to go out for long periods, it is preferable to use daily pads, and change them every few hours; To get rid of secretions and moisture.

– Observing vaginal secretions permanently, and any change in its color and shape, it is necessary to consult a competent doctor, and not neglect this matter.

In the summer, some grains or red spots may appear as a result of the heat. This can be corrected by using unscented powder, and if this happens, ointments intended for heat and skin rashes resulting from the heat of the air, and the lack of ventilation of the sensitive area must be used.

Clean sensitive areas well during menstruation, and change sanitary pads every 4 hours at least.

– If you want to use emollient or perfumed creams, you should not increase them and pay attention to that they are placed in small quantities on the superficial outer area of ​​sensitive areas, and not to be used immediately after hair removal or after showering; Because the skin pores are open and absorb anything, and cause those areas to darken or irritate.

Wash new clothes before wearing them, as they may contain dirt, dust, etc.

Finally, it is necessary to beware of popular recipes for bleaching sensitive areas, as well as to beware of any compounds and creams of unknown source, and not to use them without consulting specialists.
