Many women take the issue of genital hygiene very seriously, to the extent of sometimes becoming obsessed with it. The vagina is something that is very simple to clean.
The external part of the vagina, the labia, should be cleaned twice a day using clean cold water. Since the genital area is moist and warm, bacteria can grow easily. When you use hot or warm water you are creating an atmosphere for the bacteria to grow more irrevently.
Women often use perfumed soap and other products with strong scents in a hope to change the smell of the vagina. This can cause infection. Washing the inside of the vagina with soap disturbs the natural balance of substances.
When the natural balance is disturbed you are at risk of developing an infection that is caused by bacteria.It is also important for the area to be cleaned following sexual intercourse. Washing should be performed using a singular front to back motion to avoid bacteria around the anus from coming into contact with the vagina or urethra .
Cleaning the vagina is just one thing but there are things that you needs to take into consideration. The kind of underwear one wears and the way it is washed makes a difference. Cotton underwear with good coverage help reduce the likelihood of perspiration and the transfer of bacteria from the anal region to the genital area.
The vagina has a self cleaning process, normal vaginal discharge is usually clear to white and it is a necessary part of the body's regular function. As discharge leaves the body, it takes bacteria with it which helps in keeping any vaginal infections at bay.
Excretions from the vagina, perspiration, and urine can build up making it even easier for the bacteria to grow which is why one needs to clean the vagina after urinating. These bacteria can cause urinary tract infections (UTI's) or other vaginal infections.
