If your intimate part were a song, she’d be “Independent Women, Pt. 1” by Destiny’s Child—she can take care of herself. The truth is, your intimate part really doesn’t need much help when it comes to staying clean and healthy. Basic maintenance of your lady parts doesn’t require strenuous effort—we’re talking about getting annual well-woman exams, Pap smears and HPV tests every five years, wearing breathable underwear, and avoiding UTIs, among other things.
As you age, your intimate part goes through a lot—particularly childbirth and menopause—and you may see changes in appearance and dryness. It’s tempting to turn to the latest trends that claim to nourish your lady parts, but if your intimate part is ever making you physically uncomfortable, it’s best to go straight to your doctor rather than hop on any of these hype trains. Unfortunately, some ladies still insist on messing around or tidying up down there in the most, ah, creative of ways. Here are four common moves that can go very, very wrong.
First of all, stay far away from intimate part steaming.
We’re all for the Goop-y philosophy of living your very best, healthiest life. But when Gwyneth Paltrow starts doling out patently bad advice, we’ve got to draw the line. Your intimate part isn’t a carpet—you should not steam clean it. According to our friends at Women’s Health (and because Goop took down the post due to justifiable backlash), Paltrow defined steaming for V as when you “sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. It is an energetic release—not just a steam douche—that balances female hormone levels.”
Rawatan Kendiri Jarang Merupakan Idea yang Baik
Those over-the-counter intimate part creams or suppositories for yeast infections have their place; this is about the more homespun approach people sometimes try. “You should never try to self-medicate with homemade remedies like garlic or tea tree oil,” says Dardik. At the very least, they won’t make a dent in your misery. At the very worst? Well, it’s not pretty. “I’ve seen chemical burns from some of these Internet suggestions, and a chemical burn inside of your intimate part is not something I’d wish on anyone,” says Dardik.
Amalan meruang perlu dihentikan.
Pretty sure you know this already, but just in case: Your downstairs isn’t supposed to smell like a tropical breeze. “These products do exactly the wrong thing to the intimate part microbiome, making it more susceptible to infection,” says Constance Young, MD, assistant professor at Columbia University Medical Center’s department of obstetrics and gynecology.
Tubuh badan wanita berupaya melakukan perkara-perkara yang menakjubkan
We’re not going to give you some spiel about the intimate part being a “self-cleaning oven”—you’ve heard it before, and frankly, we like to keep our cooking metaphors separate from our genital care. Buuuut, it’s totally true. Your hoo-ha maintains its own special pH-balanced environment, thanks to the lactobacillus bacteria present in it. When you squirt a douching mixture up there, you’re changing the normally acidic environment to a neutralized one—and inhibiting your intimate part from protecting itself.
Anda mungkin tertanya mengapa terdapat banyak produk di pasaran jika produk seperti ini menjejaskan keupayaan faraj? Ini semua merupakan teknik pemasaran, dan bukannya saintifik - konsepnya sama sperti Febreze, tetapi," tambah Young. Jika anda benar-benar merasakn keperluan untuk membersihkan dan menyegarkan kawasan intim anda, gunakan kaedah yang sudah dicuba iaitu, menggunakan sabun yang tidak diwangikan dan air-tapi hanya di kawasan luar faraj anda sahaja ya!
