How to Maintain the Health of the Intimate Area

Maintaining the health of the intimate area is an important part of women's health. With the fast pace of modern life, many people may overlook this aspect, but in reality, the health of the intimate area is not only related to physical comfort but also directly affects psychological well-being and overall quality of life. Whether it’s daily hygiene practices, suitable clothing, or regular health check-ups, these factors gradually influence our bodies. Next, we will explore some simple measures to help every woman maintain the health of her intimate area. 
 

Simple Measures for Intimate Area Hygiene: 

• Wipe Properly: After using the restroom, always wipe from front to back to prevent bringing bacteria into the intimate area. 

• Choose Cotton Underwear: Opt for 100% cotton underwear, as it is more breathable. 

• Avoid Tight Clothing: Try not to wear tight-fitting clothes, as they can trap moisture and increase the risk of infections. 

• Daily Showers: Make sure to shower every day, and gently wash the intimate area with warm water. 

• Menstrual Hygiene: During your period, it’s important to change your sanitary pad frequently, ideally every 2–4 hours, to prevent bacterial growth and reduce the risk of infections. Opt for safe, chemical-free sanitary products to better care for your skin's health. 
   

What to Do When Experiencing Discharge? 

If your vagina produces mucus, this is known as discharge or commonly referred to as "leukorrhea." It appears as a slightly transparent liquid in your underwear, which is normal and healthy. If you want to avoid discomfort from damp underwear, consider using BFF mini pads. However, if the discharge is yellow or green, accompanied by itching, redness, or burning sensations, it may indicate an infection, and you should see a doctor promptly for diagnosis and treatment. 

I believe that women can take better care of themselves. I hope every woman can pay attention to this topic and work together to create a healthy living environment, thereby enhancing the quality of life and overall happiness.
