How
to avoid vaginal infections
Vaginal infections can re-occur many
times. It is very important to be prepared to fight against any vaginal
infections and not allow them to breed inside you. You can follow a daily
regime that helps you keep away from vaginal infections.
Personal hygiene to prevent vaginal
infections
Practicing a good female hygiene
routine is the foremost essential step to prevent vaginal infections.
·
A damp and
moist environment creates a breeding ground for many bacteria. While having a
shower, wash your vaginal area daily with a mild soap, rinse it properly and
pat it dry. The vagina and the area around it should be clean and dry to
prevent vaginal infections.
·
Every time
you urinate or have a bowel movement, make sure to wipe your genitals starting
from the front and ending towards the back. This prevents the bacterium E. coli
entering your vagina via the rectum.
·
Avoid using
feminine hygiene products such as perfumed gels, soaps, tampons, vaginal
deodorants / sprays or even spermicidal as these can irritate the vagina
inviting an infection.
·
Avoid
douching as it interferes with the normal balance of the organisms already
inside the vagina causing bacterial and yeast infections that may also affect
other reproductive organs.
·
Keep your
pubic hair short by trimming it frequently. Make sure not to hurt or scratch
your organs.
·
Change your
sanitary pads often during your periods. Wearing the same pad for hours may
cause vaginal infections, itching etc.
Clothes and undergarments to prevent vaginal infections:
·
Make a
practice of wearing light and loose fitting cotton panties. Cotton keeps your
genitals dry by absorbing the moisture and allowing air circulation.
·
If you wish
to wear pantyhose, make sure to wear a cotton panty underneath it.
·
Wearing tight
jeans, trousers, panties or pantyhose for extended hours does not allow proper
air circulation making it a suitable ground for bacteria to grow and breed.
·
Wash your
undergarments with a mild detergent and rinse it thoroughly.
·
Make sure to
dry your undergarments in the sun. Sunlight kills bacteria and fungus.
Precautions in sex to prevent vaginal infections:
·
It
recommended not using perfumed lubricants, gels or oils to lubricate the
vagina. These are believed to invite several vaginal infections.
·
Certain
spermicidal tablets or gels are also reported to cause vaginal infections.
Consult your gynecologist first before using them.
·
Using condom
is one of the safest ways of preventing vaginal infections that happen due to
sexual intercourse.
·
Clean and dry
your vagina before and after having sex.
·
Medication
applicators, if used should be washed and cleaned thoroughly before storing
them.
·
Avoid sex
with many partners or use a condom.
·
If you are
already suffering from a vaginal infection, it is recommended to avoid sex or
avoid putting anything inside your vagina until the infection is totally gone.
Diet and drinks to prevent vaginal infections:
- Add Vitamin C rich supplements to your diet. The acidic nature of
Vitamin C creates an acidic environment inside the vagina thereby not
allowing bacteria and fungi to breed and grow.
- Cranberry juice is good in fighting and preventing vaginal
infections.
- Drink lots of water. It purifies the system and drains out bacteria
and infections.
