INCREASE IN VAGINAL INFECTIONS OBSERVED IN SUMMER

We have entered the summer season, which is the favorite season of many people. Summer is a season in which nature comes into its own, cheers people up and increases their energy.

However, in this season, he sweats much more than in other seasons. As a result of these sweating, unwanted discomfort may occur. One of these disorders is vaginal infection.

It is necessary to take a number of precautions to prevent vaginal infection. Vaginal infection is a female disorder that occurs when hygiene is not observed.

WAYS TO PREVENT VAGINAL INFECTION

Individuals who do not want to catch vaginal infection can be protected from this disease by taking some precautions. At the top of these measures is hygiene and cleanliness.

Since the summer months sweat much more than other seasons, it is absolutely necessary to take a shower every day. Care should be taken to change underwear. Underwear changes should be made at least once a day.

If you sweat a lot during the day after changing your underwear, the laundry should be changed once again. In summer, guests can enter the sea and pool to cool off.

Swimsuit cleaning is also very important. After entering and exiting the sea and pool, you should not spend a long time with the swimsuit.

Showers should be taken without wasting time and swimsuits should be washed after entering and exiting each pool and sea.

OPT FOR COTTON UNDERWEAR

Cotton underwear is the most suitable laundry so that the vaginal area does not sweat much. Polyester underwear should not be preferred in any season, not only in summer.

Polyester underwear is very harmful to skin health and sweats excessively, reducing beneficial bacteria and increasing harmful bacteria. In summer, cotton and thin fabric underwear should be preferred.

DO NOT OVERDO THE CLEANING OF THE VAGINAL AREA!

In the summer months, it is necessary to take care of the cleanliness of the vaginal area, which is also the area we can call the bikini area.

However, by obsessing over this situation too much, using too much soap and chemical products such as exaggeration, taking the cleanliness of this area too seriously will lead to a decrease in beneficial bacteria in the area and a disruption of the natural balance of the vagina.

It is enough to take a shower by soaping all parts of your body evenly with bath fiber. The important thing is to clean the bacteria that form in the area after sweating.

Cleaning of bacteria can be prevented by showering and bathing in a classic way. Obsessing over cleanliness will disrupt the natural balance of the vagina and cause irritation and itching, as well as psychologically wear the person out.
