Is it okay to use boric acid to wash the vulva?

Using boric acid to clean your vulva is a better method. Many female friends will feel that their vagina is very itchy in daily life. This is caused by not paying enough attention to vaginal hygiene. Therefore, vulva wash becomes very important and can play a role in daily care. You can use this vulva wash to clean during bathing.

Vulvar washes come in medicinal and daily care types. Medicinal vulvar wash can treat mild inflammation and needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor. The pH value of daily care cleansing liquid is usually between 4.0-5.5, which is close to the pH value of the private parts, and has the dual functions of cleaning and care.

However, neither the medicinal type nor the daily care type can be used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases during sexual life. In daily outpatient work, we often encounter cases of women suffering from the abuse of drug washes. They often think that using a wash lotion every day can help clean, maintain health and prevent vaginal inflammation. In fact, vaginitis is the most common gynecological disease, and more than 40% of it is related to improper cleaning methods.

Women's reproductive organs are very fragile and more susceptible to infection. However, over-caring for it will destroy its self-repair and protection functions, making it more fragile. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to wash with warm water and then wipe with a clean towel!

1: Only clean water care can keep you healthy

It is impossible to completely clean the grease and blood stains on the vulva with just clean water. For example: when washing hands, you cannot just use water, you need to use soap or hand sanitizer. Some women are worried that feminine cleaning products will destroy their own defense function. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. As long as the pH value of products such as feminine care liquid is defined between 4-4.5, close to the pH value of the vagina, the self-cleaning function of the vagina can be better maintained. Therefore, it is forbidden to use soap or hand sanitizer for cleaning, remember.

2. Clean your genitals with soap or shower gel

People believe that soap and shower gel have a good cleansing effect, but soap (including perfumed soap) and shower gel are mostly alkaline, with a pH value basically above 7, which can easily destroy the weak acid environment of the vagina, causing gynecological diseases, and are irritating to the skin. After removing the sebum, the skin becomes dry, which can cause skin itching, allergies or contact dermatitis.

3. Use flushing agent to clean the vagina

If you flush the vagina with various cleaning solutions every day for no reason, it will kill the beneficial bacteria that maintain the normal acidic environment, which will inevitably change the acidic environment of the vagina, destroy the self-cleaning function of the vagina, disrupt the mutual restraint of the normal flora, and destroy the ecological balance.

4. Pharmaceutical lotion is safer

Some people's vaginal inflammation is purely a "rich man's disease" caused by washing. In fact, healthy women do not need to use pharmaceutical-grade vaginal cleansing products at all. They can use pharmaceutical-grade feminine care liquid for daily care.
