SAVE THE VAG!NA NOW
To maintain a healthy vagina you must
know what to do to avoid infection and it
is equally important to educate your sexual
partner on some of them to also help you
help the vagina.
Here are some few things you can do or
avoid.
1. Fingering
During foreplay or romance, as part of it
some people insert their finger or fingers
into the vagina. The question is, how many
people wash their hands before sexual
intercourse? Some people do not even keep
their nails clean so it gathers a lot of germs
and during the fingering, these germs are
deposited in the vagina...leading to
infection. Same thing apply to
autopleasure acts or masturbation.
2. Anal sex
I am not here to tell anybody to have anal
sex or not to but I simply want to draw the
attention of those who engage in anal sex
with the opposite sex that it is dangerous
to have anal sex and continue having
penovaginal sex. If this is done, the penis
will pick bacteria from the anus and deliver
them to the vagina even if you are using a
condom....which will lead to infection.
3. Quest to make the vagina TIGHT
Some guys complain bitterly about the
vagina of their sexual partners. They
complain that it's too big and they no more
feel any sensation during intercourse.
Some ladies are therefore pushed to find a
quick solution and in the process some use
herbs or other substances in the vagina
with the hope of making the vagina tight.
Some of the substances cause infection or
sepsis. Some of the herbs can cause the
vagina to get tighter to the extent that
penetration is no more possible. This will
require treatment.
4. Douching
Some parents, when bathing for their baby
girls put warm water in a milk tin or dip a
towel in the warm water and pour the
water through a hole made beneath the tin
or squeeze the water out of the towel into
the vagina of the baby. This is sooooo
WRONG as it can damage the hymen.
Some parents also insert ginger or pepper
or both into the vagina of adolescents as a
form of punishment. This is sooooo
WRONG as it can lead to infection.
Some people are use to bathing by adding
dettol or other detergents to the water and
they put this solution inside the vagina
with the help of sponge or towel or just
the hand with soap to clean the vagina.
This is soooo WRONG as it will change the
normal flora in the vagina, leading to
infection.
5. Use of water closet
Some people have the habit of not sitting
on the seat of the WC when using it so they
end up urinating on the seat. The
possibility of picking infection when using
it in that condition is high. Don't let your
pant be at the thigh level when using the
WC especially the public ones as the inner
of the pant may rub the surface of the WC.
Where the water is not running and people
have used but have not flushed and you
don't have any choice but to also use it, use
enough toilet roll to cover before using the
WC to avoid any splashes on the vulva.
6. Washing and drying
Develop the habit of disinfecting your
panties frequently...depending on the
number of pants you have. Keep exclusive
panties to wear whenever you are
menstruating and don't mix those panties
with your regular panties. Pay particular
attention to those panties when washing.
Ensure that the panties are made of cotton
and are dried in the sun or well ironed to
kill germs.
7. Change sanitary pads
Some people try to economize the use of
their sanitary pads so during the period
they tend to still wear the pad because
there is little or no blood. This is soooo
WRONG as it can lead to infection.
NB: If there is any bad scent from the
vagina or there is a discharge coming from
the vagina then it might be an infection
which you have to have it treated.
