It is recommended to pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness of the external genitalia on a daily basis. Simply rinse the external genitalia with clean water each night to keep them dry and clean. The clean water should be lukewarm boiled water. The method is to rinse, not soak, not douching, and certainly not sitz baths. The area refers to the external genitalia, including the labia majora and minora, as well as the grooves between them, the mons pubis, and the perianal area. After rinsing, ensure the area is kept dry before putting on underwear or using sanitary pads. It is essential to wash intimate clothing separately to avoid cross-contamination, which can lead to inadequate cleaning. Additionally, do not hang underwear and pants in enclosed, damp spaces like bathrooms. Instead, hang them in open, well-ventilated areas. Avoid frequent use of sanitary pads and tampons; choose appropriate types of sanitary products. Select suitable materials for underwear and pants. Pay attention to cleaning during menstruation. These habits need to be changed to create a clean and stable perineal environment.
