Patient's question:
Previously, I had some gynecological infections, which have been treated and cured. Now, I want to learn in detail what precautions to take in daily life to avoid the occurrence of gynecological infections. The last time was really painful, and this condition is difficult to talk about. How can I take preventive measures?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. Avoid unsafe sex;
2. Avoid excessive scratching, rubbing, or hot water washing/scalding in itchy areas. Do not use soaps with strong alkali for bathing;
3. Underwear should be soft, loose, and wide, preferably made of cotton. Avoid washing underwear with socks;
4. Pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean and dry, especially during menstruation;
5. When men bathe, they should retract the foreskin and clean the smegma from the foreskin sac. This is the simplest and most effective way to prevent inflammation;
6. Avoid excessive use of antibiotics, which can lead to an imbalance in the normal vaginal flora.
