Can I wash my vulva with soap?

Women's vulva often experience discomfort symptoms. The most common symptom is vulva itching. This symptom is extremely uncomfortable, especially in public places. It is very embarrassing when the vulva itches. To address this problem, women often use some cleaning liquid to clean it. As we all know, soap has a strong decontamination ability and even has a bactericidal effect. So, can women use soap to clean their vulva?

Can I wash my vulva with soap?

Normal urine is slightly acidic, with a pH of around 6.0. The female vagina is of course acidic. Under normal circumstances, the cleanliness of a woman's vagina depends on the number of vaginal lactobacilli and the amount of pus cells in the vagina. A normal acidic environment can promote the growth of vaginal lactobacilli to ensure good cleanliness and inhibit the infection and invasion of foreign bacteria. Once the acidity and alkalinity of the environment are destroyed, it is very easy to cause disease. The pH value of soap is mostly around 9.0. Frequent use of soap to scrub the vulva can easily irritate the vulva and change the pH value of the vulva, thus giving E. coli an opportunity to enter. If the body's resistance decreases at this time, urinary tract infection is likely to occur.

This situation may be caused by vaginitis. It is recommended not to use soap to wash the vulva. You can use Honghe Fujie Wash to clean the vulva. Metronidazole tablets and nystatin tablets should be compressed into powder and applied externally. Wear comfortable and breathable cotton underwear.

Local vaginal medication treatment such as nitrofuratel soft capsules or Daconil suppositories is recommended.

Guidance:

Do not eat spicy food, often boil your underwear in boiling water to disinfect it, and take medication for 3 courses to be completely cured

The environment of the genitals is weakly acidic, and soap is alkaline. It is best not to use soap to wash. If the vulva is itchy and there is a lot of vaginal discharge, it may be vulvitis, which often occurs when the resistance is low and is prone to recurrence.

Guidance:

It is recommended to change and wash underwear frequently, preferably pure cotton underwear, to keep the vulva clean. You are still young and cannot use medication. It is recommended to try PP powder diluted and then sit bath, or use Huoxiang Zhengqi water diluted and then sit bath

When cleaning the private parts, it is best not to use detergents that are too alkaline or have strong oxidizing effects. Doing so will destroy the acidic environment of the vagina, thereby reducing or destroying the self-cleaning function of the vagina, and even causing external pathogens to enter the body. Most ordinary shower gels and soaps are alkaline, with a pH value basically above 7, which destroys the weakly acidic environment of the private parts. For private parts, ordinary shower gel = soap.
