With the development and progress of society, the improvement in people’s quality of life, but an increasing number of women are troubled by gynecological diseases. Although seemingly minor gynecological inflammations, they cause many women to feel distressed and in pain. Because if these inflammations are not thoroughly treated, they may seriously affect women’s daily work, life, and fertility. In fact, the factors that cause such gynecological inflammations are mostly related to women frequently consuming sugary foods, improper menstrual cycle care, unclean marital relations, and improper cleanliness of women’s intimate underwear. All these factors may lead to the occurrence of gynecological inflammations, especially when washing underwear, it is advisable to avoid these four washing methods to possibly reduce the chance of occurrence.
The 4 washing methods commonly used by women may attract the occurrence of gynecological inflammations. Don’t be careless.
1. “Buffet-style” washing
Due to the accelerated pace of life in today’s society, many people have significant work and life pressures. They are busy with work during the day and when they return home, they often have to take care of household chores, children, and husbands. Many things at home require women to handle, and whenever they have a little time to rest, for the sake of convenience, they put all the clothes together to soak and wash. However, different clothes come into contact with different bacteria and viruses depending on the environment they are in, especially underwear. If washed together with other clothes, it can easily lead to cross-infection. If bacteria and viruses are not thoroughly cleaned, and if such underwear is worn frequently, it may lead to the occurrence of gynecological diseases.
2. “Concentrated war” washing
This method implies that most women do not wash the underwear they change out of immediately, usually leaving them in the bathroom. Underwear itself contains a lot of secretions, and bathrooms are usually humid, enclosed, and lack ventilation, which allows for the proliferation of bacteria and viruses. The combination of the bacteria and secretions in the air with the underwear further promotes the growth and reproduction of bacteria and viruses, making it difficult to eliminate. If underwear is frequently worn, the chances of women getting infected with bacteria and viruses increase.
3. Using “machine wash” instead of “hand wash”
Some women are relatively lazy in life, especially with the invention of the washing machine, which has freed many from handwashing. They would rather machine wash than hand wash their underwear. Since washing machines deal with a large volume of laundry every day, they accumulate a lot of bacteria and viruses. Moreover, the interior of the washing machine is not habitually cleaned daily. If even underwear is put in to wash altogether, it might lead to infections from bacteria and viruses, causing the occurrence of gynecological inflammations.
4. “Disinfection” after washing
While cleanliness is a good thing, incorrect methods can also harm the body. Some women choose to use specialized cleansing agents for intimate areas and even soak their underwear in disinfectant. However, such disinfectants can be highly irritating. Frequent use may result in residue on the underwear, disrupting the environment of female intimate areas and leading to gynecological inflammations.
Therefore, it is important for all women to pay attention to these four improper washing methods of underwear, try to avoid them, and remember to change underwear diligently every day, wash them promptly, and dry them in the sun for sterilization. At the same time, underwear should be replaced with new ones every three to four months.
