Personal Hygiene On Women

By: Millie Maore

Vagina is able to clean itself no special care is needed other than
washing the external genitals. Do not put anything like douches
into the vagina, as the delicate skin can be damaged. Here are
some personal hygiene suggestions for women:

 MENSTRUATION - wash your body, including your genital area, in

the same way as you always do. Change tampons and sanitary
napkins regularly, at least four to five times a day. Always wash
your hands before and after handling a tampon or pad.

 CYSTISIS - is an infection of the bladder. This is a common
condition for sexually active young women. Urinating after sexual
intercourse can help to flush out any bacteria that may be in the
urethra and bladder.

THRUSH - some soaps and detergents can irritate the skin of the
vagina, and make thrush infections more likely. Some people find
that they often get thrush when they use antibiotics. Use mild
soap and unperfumed toilet paper. Avoid tight, synthetic
underwear. Try cotton underwear, and change
regularly. There is medical treatment for thrush, so talk to your
doctor or pharmacist.

Am free for any question anytime between now and 5 o'clock,
from ladies only. Men kindly follow silently. TIA.
