Vaginal Care Products | Do we need them? :
Vaginal health is an important part of overall health and wellness. But what do you need to do to maintain healthy vaginal health? Should you be using vaginal care products, or is it safe to skip them?
Vaginal Care Products or Female Hygiene Products do more of a harm than good. Vaginal moisturizers, intimate wash, feminine wipes, sprays, perfumes, powders, gels etc are extensively promoted these days and one must remember that these are not essentials. That meaning, until your doctor recommends them by testing you for an infection etc, these are not supposed to be used.
Difference between vagina and vulva :
The vagina is the internal organ that is located between the uterus and the outside of the body, while the vulva is the external genitalia, which includes the labia, the clitoris, the openings of the urethra and vagina, and the pubic mound. The vagina is the muscular canal that connects the cervix to the outside of the body, and it is where menstrual fluids, sexual fluids, and babies pass through. The vulva, on the other hand, is the external genitalia that is visible outside of the body. Vagina as said is an internal organ and like other internal organs this needs no cleaning.
Keeping Your Vagina Healthy: The Importance of Safe Vaginal Care
Vagina is a self cleaning organ and a colony of good bacteria and other microbes helping keep the vagina healthy. Vagina and Vulva produce a variety of fluids necessary for your overall health. So remember, the vaginal discharge is not yucky but something that is keeping you healthy. Using non prescribed vaginal care products can throw your Vaginas pH balance out of place and be an invitation for urinary infections, UTI, fungal infections, inflammation, etc.
Douching, a vaginal cleaning method which includes spraying of excess water or other mixtures of fluids inside your vagina, can cause cervical cancer, increased risk of STIs, yeast infections, vaginal pain etc.
Tampons, sanitary pads, feminine wipes, sprays etc. can contain hazardous chemicals linked to developmental and reproductive harm. Unfortunately there is no mandate by any of government bodies to mention the chemicals added in it which can be carcinogenic. These also have strong perfumes to hide the vaginal odor. Doctors say vaginal odor is an indication of a woman’s health. A healthy vagina has a naturally light odor and a sudden change in odor or a strong fishy odor can be signaling infections which can be addressed immediately. And hence avoid using any sprays or perfumes to your intimate part.
Take Care of Your Vaginal Health: Trust Your Body, Not ‘Miracle’ Products
Vaginal products to be used only as advised by a medical professional. Hence do not fall for the marketing of vaginal care products.
