Five Big Lies About Vaginal Cleansing Revealed

　　Misunderstanding 1: Raw boy。
　　
　　There is a saying that "vaginal douching can give birth to a boy". The theoretical basis is that the factors that determine the birth of a boy are sperm (Sperms carrying the Y chromosome) prefer an alkaline environment, so washing the vagina with alkaline water can increase the motility of the sperm carrying the Y chromosome and inhibit the sperm carrying the X chromosome. In this way, the probability of giving birth to a boy will be greatly increased. This statement seems to be well-founded, but it is actually unrealistic. Because there are tens of thousands of sperm in semen, the alkaline environment can only inhibit a small part of the sperm carrying the X chromosome, and most of the sperm carrying the X chromosome can still enter. Uterus Even if only one successfully arrives, it will be formed immediately once it combines with the "egg" fetus of female Sex.
　　
　　Misunderstanding 2: Prevent pregnancy.
　　
　　Some people do vaginal douching to prevent pregnancy, but this is just a cover-up. ejaculation Afterwards, the sperm can reach the uterine cavity through the cervical canal within a few minutes. When the woman is flushing carefully, the "vanguard unit" of the sperm "army" has already entered the uterine cavity and "camped".
　　
　　Misunderstanding 3: Prevent inflammation.
　　
　　When it comes to vaginal care, many people take it for granted that cleanliness, washing and changing frequently are essential. So douching has become a habitual action for many women, and some even insist on doing vaginal douching every day. As everyone knows, this is a big misunderstanding. actually, healthy A woman's vagina, like her oral cavity, usually has dozens of bacteria growing there, but it's just because of the existence of vaginal "guards" that they live in peace. Lactobacillus is one of the "guardians". It can decompose glycogen in vaginal cells into lactic acid to maintain a certain acidity in the vagina, thereby limiting the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. However, lotion ingredients such as vinegar, water, and antibacterial agents often flush harmful bacteria out of the vagina and at the same time kill all the bacteria that protect the human body, thus destroying the local acidic environment and making it impossible for the vagina to protect itself. What's even worse is that if the method of washing is wrong, germs will wait for an opportunity to "hitchhike" and drive straight to the depths of the vagina and even the uterus.
