Clean with Plain Water: Gently wash the external genital area (vulva) with lukewarm water daily. Avoid using strong soaps or scented products.
Avoid Douching: The vagina naturally maintains its pH balance. Douching can disrupt this and lead to infections.
Wear Breathable Underwear: Choose cotton underwear and avoid tight-fitting clothes that trap moisture and heat.
Wipe Front to Back: After using the toilet, always wipe from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria from the anus to the vagina.
Practice Menstrual Hygiene: Change sanitary pads, tampons, or menstrual cups regularly during periods to prevent odor and infections.
Stay Dry: After washing or using the toilet, pat the vaginal area dry to prevent bacterial growth. Safe Sexual Practices: Use protection and maintain sexual hygiene to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
