Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Does using paper after using the toilet cause gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The distance between the female perineum and the anus is very short. It is easy for bacteria to grow at the anal area. If carelessness occurs during wiping after defecation, dirty matter can be transferred to the perineal side, leading to gynecological inflammation. Therefore, when using toilet paper after defecation, gentle wiping is necessary, with minimal amplitude. At the same time, pay attention to vulvar care—frequently clean the vulva and regularly air-dry underwear. After defecation, you can use saltwater to clean the perineum and anus. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
