Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to washing underwear

The hygiene of the underwear of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease has a great relationship with the disease. When washing underwear, you should pay attention to the following:

Clean in time

The underwear of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease needs to be changed and washed every day. The practice of accumulating underwear has great health risks. The secretions on the underwear will continue to breed bacteria at room temperature, and it will be more difficult to clean over time.

Wash separately

The underwear of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should be washed separately. Mold and other germs can breed on human feet. If socks and underwear are washed together, the mold may be contaminated on the underwear. It is best to wash underwear by hand, which can increase the friction density and facilitate local cleaning, so that the underwear can be washed more cleanly.

Choosing a Cleaner

The female vagina is a weakly acidic environment, and cleaning products are generally alkaline. The detergents left on the underwear can easily change the vaginal environment and increase the chance of infection. When washing underwear, you should choose a detergent that is not too alkaline and has good cleaning ability.

Hand wash as much as possible

It is best for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease to rub their underwear carefully for 3-5 minutes after applying soap to allow bacteria to fully contact with soap. After rubbing, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in running water to wash away the soap foam thoroughly. If it is not rinsed in time, the underwear will become hard over time, which is not good for health.

Pay attention to disinfection

The underwear of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease must be dried in the sun. Ultraviolet rays can kill the germs on it, which is very beneficial to health. If it is really impossible to dry it in the sun, it must not be placed in a humid bathroom to dry. It should be hung in a ventilated place such as a balcony to dry naturally.
