Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Do I need to wash when my period comes?Doctor's answer:
The vaginal environment is originally acidic, which can prevent bacterial and viral infections. During menstruation, it can be cleaned, but avoid using alkaline cleaning agents such as soap. Many shower gels are also alkaline. If you must wash, you should buy specialized detergent. And it should be acidic. Additionally, during menstruation, never soak in a bathtub, as it is very easy to cause reverse infection. Showering should be adopted instead.
