Where is the perineum?

The perineum is a private area that encloses all tissues of the pelvic outlet. For men, the perineum is the connection between the root of the scrotum and the anus. It is a wedge-shaped soft tissue. For women, it is the connection between the back of the labia majora and the anus. If there is obvious local pain, it may be caused by improper sexual lifestyle or gynecological inflammatory diseases. Urinary tract infection cannot be ruled out.

1. Incorrect sexual lifestyle: Incorrect sexual lifestyle, such as incorrect posture, strong force, and frequent intercourse, may cause local injuries, pain and swelling. The frequency of sexual intercourse should be controlled. You can choose to wash with warm water, and underwear needs to be changed regularly, and try to avoid wearing too tight clothes.

2. Gynecological inflammatory diseases: mainly include vaginitis, vulvitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., which are closely related to not paying attention to personal genital hygiene. They may also be caused by wearing poor-quality underwear and long-term friction. They are closely related to infection with pathogenic bacteria, such as mold, fungi, Trichomonas, bacteria, etc.

3. Urinary tract infection: If you often hold your urine or sit for a long time and drink less water, you may experience urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination. You may also experience pain in the perineum, which is closely related to urinary tract infection.
