Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:Can I clean the area around the vulva during my period? How should I clean it? Will it cause excessive bleeding? To make my period more comfortable, what should I do before and after my period?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is recommended to clean the external genital area daily, especially during menstruation, when it is even more important to clean twice a day and change underwear frequently. You can use plain water for cleaning. Using soaps can easily disrupt the bacterial balance. As long as you clean thoroughly and maintain cleanliness of the external genital area, infection can be prevented.The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin.
