People's impression of salt may be more of a seasoning in the kitchen, but in fact, salt also has a sterilizing effect. Many women say that adding salt to water can clean a woman's external vagina, which is particularly convenient and simple. I don't know if anyone has used it before, but this is the first time I've heard of it. So, is it beneficial to wash the external genitalia with salt water?
Is it beneficial to wash the external genitalia with salt water
Saltwater has a certain antibacterial effect, but the female reproductive organs are also very sensitive and fragile. Saltwater not only kills bacteria and inhibits bacteria, but also corrodes the private environment. If used for a long time, it can also cause acid-base balance in the external genitalia. And it will also affect the vagina, damaging its self-protection system, which is actually detrimental to the hygiene of the private area. Therefore, for those who are still concerned about the benefits of washing the external genitalia with salt water, it is still necessary to prohibit the use of this method.
How to correctly prevent vaginitis
1. Firstly, it is necessary to maintain the hygiene of the private area and keep the external genitalia in a dry environment. Only by doing so can bacteria be prevented from breeding in the external genitalia. After using the bathroom, female friends must pay attention to wiping off residual substances in the external genitalia and urethral opening to reduce the possibility of infection.
2. Secondly, it is important to keep personal clothing clean. Underwear comes into direct contact with the female reproductive organs, so if bacteria adhere to the clothing, it will directly affect private hygiene. Therefore, it is necessary to change underwear frequently.
Although salt can inhibit the presence of bacteria, it is not recommended to use saltwater to clean the external genitalia. Because women's external genitalia are fragile and important, do not use this method to wash them easily. In fact, just rinse them with clean warm water every day. Another thing is to change underwear frequently. Underwear is prone to bacterial growth and needs to be changed frequently.
