Patient's question:
Doctor,I would like to ask if it is necessary to wash the vaginal area with clean water every day? Can I wash it during my period?
Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, due to secretions, bacteria may proliferate locally, which can lead to symptoms such as local itching. This can be managed by cleaning the external genitalia with clean water, which has no impact on menstruation. There is no need to worry excessively, and it is important to change sanitary pads promptly once they become wet. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman'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 leukorrhea examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
