Among the common gynecological inflammations in women, the incidence of vaginitis is relatively high. In vaginitis, one of the top ranks is fungal vaginitis. For women of childbearing age, the probability of suffering from fungal vaginitis is very high, and a considerable number of women also experience recurrent fungal vaginitis, which seriously affects women’s daily life and health. Treatment is necessary for fungal vaginitis, but more importantly, learning how to prevent it is crucial. So, how can recurrent fungal vaginitis be prevented? These 3 clever tips to prevent “fungus” must be mastered by female friends. Your body will thank you if you do.
1. Maintain cleanliness of the private area
The reason for emphasizing hygiene repeatedly is that fungal vaginitis is closely related to the cleanliness of women’s private areas. Many times, external pathogens easily take this opportunity to transfer from the external genitals to the vagina, thereby disrupting the vaginal microenvironment. Although the flora in the vagina is beneficial to human health, especially for the metabolism of the vagina, it plays a crucial regulatory role. However, if the cleanliness of the private area is insufficient, leading to invasion by external pathogens, it can easily trigger a disturbance in the vaginal flora, resulting in fungal vaginitis. Therefore, as a woman, it is essential to pay attention to the cleanliness of the private area so as to reduce the risk of fungal vaginitis.
2. Maintain personal hygiene
Many women suffer from fungal vaginitis due to unclean sexual activities, so it is important to remind women to pay attention to personal hygiene. On the one hand, one should maintain personal hygiene and pay attention to the cleanliness of the private area before and after sexual activity. On the other hand, for one’s partner, the management of private area hygiene should not be neglected. Many men may have smegma, which can easily lead to female infection with fungal vaginitis because fungi can multiply in these private areas and then transfer to the uninfected partner during sexual activity. Therefore, if men have conditions such as a long foreskin or excessive smegma, they should seek active treatment. After recovery, consider engaging in sexual activity.
3. High-temperature disinfection of intimate clothing
Fungi have a strong survival ability, so attention should also be paid to personal clothing, especially intimate clothing such as underwear, which should be regularly disinfected. For underwear that is frequently washed, if not dried properly, it is prone to mold. Therefore, women must pay attention and avoid wearing damp, moldy underwear. High-temperature disinfection should be applied promptly to personal underwear. At the same time, it is important to change underwear frequently, maintain the breathability of underwear, and not hesitate to discard underwear just because it is not torn. Underwear is the most likely place for pathogens to reside, so managing one’s underwear and the hygiene of other clothing is a good preparation for preventing fungal vaginitis.
