Reasonable use of feminine hygiene pads
The compact sanitary napkin pads are easy to use and are very popular among women these days. Some people even wear sanitary pads every day due to occasions and work needs. Sanitary pads are closely related to health. Women need to use them according to their own conditions and develop the habit of changing sanitary pads frequently. The vagina of healthy women has a self-purification function, which includes several aspects: 1. The skin on the vagina of mature women will periodically thicken under the action of ovarian hormones, and the surface cells will be keratinized and fall off, which is not conducive to the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. . 2. The glycogen stored in the cell produces lactic acid under the decomposition of the normal vaginal flora, so that the vagina maintains a certain acidic environment, which is not conducive to the growth of basophilic bacteria. 3. The mucus of the cervix is u200bu200balkaline, which inhibits the growth of eosinophilic bacteria. Therefore, although the vagina is not sterile, under normal circumstances, due to a variety of factors that restrict their survival in the vagina, they become a normal flora and will not cause disease. Long-term use of sanitary pads will greatly increase local humidity and temperature, especially in hot flashes. This not only creates suitable conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, but also destroys the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, reduces the local protective barrier effect, and can cause vaginitis. In addition, the friction of the sanitary pad can easily cause damage to the local skin or hair follicles, and diseases such as vulvar folliculitis. Therefore, the editor of personal products manufacturer reminds everyone again that sanitary pads should not be used for a long time. It is also wrong to think that using pads does not need to be cleaned every day.
