Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Which soda water can be used to wash the private parts?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the vagina can change the pH level inside the vagina, making it alkaline. A 2% to 4% ratio is 10ml of sodium bicarbonate solution mixed with 500ml of normal saline or 500ml of warm boiled water. However, rinsing should be moderate, as prolonged rinsing may lead to an imbalance of vaginal flora and trigger vaginal inflammation.
