Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can the female vagina be washed every day?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal discharge plays a crucial role in protecting our reproductive organs, especially the internal ones. Once we wash it away, whether it's with water or not, and regardless of whether the water is clean, this natural defense mechanism is compromised. Bacteria can then freely enter our reproductive system, grow, or multiply, leading to inflammation and diseases. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but also causes gynecological issues. Therefore, it's best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
