Can baking soda powder mixed with water be used to clean the vagina?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I clean the vagina with baking soda mixed with water?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, no, baking soda water is simply a solution of sodium bicarbonate. If you're referring to baking soda water for treating vaginal infections, it requires a specific concentration ratio, and it should be diluted before use for sitz baths or vaginal irrigation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to further gynecological conditions. Therefore, it's best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
