This is according to a LIB reader who says she's a gynaecologist.
Hello Linda, I am a gynaecologist and I need
you to pass a message to your female readers. Warning Ladies! Do not use
soap to wash your vagina. Don't use anything at all. It's
self-cleaning. The discharge you get through out the day? That's how the
vagina cleans itself. Using soap will only put you at higher risk of
developing irritation or infection. Using warn water and clean had is
enough. Discharge cleans out dirt and dead cells. The vagina is also
acidic so kills off harmful bacteria while allowing healthy bacteria to
thrive. You don't need to clean your vagina, just your vulva but you do
this with water only! Soaps, washes, wipes are potentially harmfully and
may kill off healthy bacteria! Bear in mind that your vagina/vulva is
made up of mucosa - like skin but without the top protective layer.
Mucosa is sensitive so more prone to irritation from chemicals in soaps
&washes. All you to wash your vagina is clean hands &soap!
How can you not wash your vagina with soap, biko?
