Patient's question:
After sex, must the vagina be washed with water? Will wiping be unhygienic?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is recommended to clean the external genital area with warm water. Avoid washing inside the vagina. Pay attention to local hygiene on a regular basis, especially before sexual activity, ensuring both partners are clean. Frequent vaginal washing with plain water can disrupt the vagina's natural acidic environment, which is not advisable. It is recommended not to clean the vagina too often. Once the acidic environment is disrupted, the vagina loses its self-cleaning ability, making it more prone to gynecological infections.
