Bacterial vaginosis is a common gynecological disease. After it occurs, women's vagina will have many symptoms and feel uncomfortable. Nowadays, many women are busy, so it is not easy to observe their body changes. Many women are prone to some diseases, such as bacterial vaginosis. This disease seems to be simple, but after it occurs, it causes great harm to women. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to prevention methods. So, what are the common measures to prevent bacterial vaginosis?

1. Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2-3 days. Do not wash the vagina every day. It is best to use running water each time you wash. Do not reuse the water after washing. You can buy a vaginal douche to spray water on the vulva. The order of washing is from front to back, that is, first the labia majora and minora, then the vaginal opening, and then the anus. If you have the conditions to take a bath once a day, you can just wash the vulva when you take a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

2. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Choose sanitary napkins with good breathability. It is best not to use panty liners at ordinary times, and just change underwear frequently, which is very important for the prevention of bacterial vaginosis.

3. To prevent bacterial vaginosis, you should choose cotton underwear, wash it separately and dry it in the sun. Patients with athlete's foot should fix the order of bedding when sleeping, and do not put underwear at the foot.

4. For those who have sex, it is best to clean the external genitalia before each sex. In addition, you should have a fixed sexual partner. If the other party has inflammation of the external genitalia, do not have sex with him/her for the time being, or use condoms.

5. In daily life, bedding should be often aired and the room should be ventilated. Strengthening physical exercise and improving physical fitness are very helpful in preventing bacterial vaginosis.

6. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. The towel and basin for washing the vulva should be separate. The washed underwear should be exposed to the sun instead of being hung in the bathroom.

7. Wear breathable clothes and do not wear pantyhose or tight jeans continuously.

8. After defecation, wipe from front to back to avoid bringing Candida albicans from the anus to the vagina.

9. If you used to like sitting by the pool in your swimsuit and chatting, you’ll have to change that behavior in the future. Don’t sit casually in public swimming pools, bathrooms, or even public toilets.

10. Please try to stay cheerful, because psychological reasons can also reduce the body's immunity, allowing Candida to take advantage of the opportunity to invade.

11. Do not use disinfectants or various detergents to frequently wash the vulva and vagina. It is best to use clean water to wash the vulva, rather than various washing liquids.
