Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I usually pay very little attention to my personal hygiene, only showering every two days, and not changing my underwear. I also don't sterilize my underwear. This has led to me developing gynecological inflammation over the long term, and now I regret it even just thinking about it. So, could you please tell me what I should pay attention to when I have gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. For women, gynecological hygiene is very important because the distance between the vagina and urethra in women is relatively close, making them more prone to gynecological infections. During the day, underwear should be exposed to sunlight to dry. It's best to change underwear once a day. Generally, it's recommended to wear pure cotton underwear. During menstruation, avoid eating extremely cold foods, spicy, and irritating foods. Gynecological infections are a common gynecological condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It's advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
