      1. After defecation, develop the habit of wiping from front to back with tissue paper, and it is best to develop the habit of washing or flushing the anus with warm water. If you do not wipe it clean, fecal stains will remain in the anus and contaminate underwear. The intestinal bacteria contained in the fecal stains will take the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation.

      2. Clean the vulva properly. Do not rinse the vagina unless necessary, so as not to destroy the ecological balance of the vagina and prevent external diseases from invading the vagina.

      3. Prepare your own special cleaning tools and towels. Cleaning utensils should be washed before use, and towels should be dried in the sun or in a ventilated place after use. It is best to expose them to the sun, which is beneficial to sterilization and disinfection. Because towels have not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, bacteria can easily breed.

      4. Do not use chemical substances such as highly alkaline soap or high potassium acid to avoid changing the normal acidic environment of the vagina.

      5. During the menstrual period, change sanitary napkins frequently with warm water. Bacteria are most likely to breed in a humid environment.
