educate your sexual partner on some of them to help the vagina, too.

1.
Fingering
Fingering
Some people insert their finger or
fingers into the vagina during foreplay or romance as a part of it. The
question is, how many people wash their hands before having sex? Some people
don’t even keep their nails clean so it collects lots of germs and these germs
are deposited in the vagina during the fingering … leading to infection. The
same applies to acts of autopleasure, or masturbation.

Anal sex
Anal sex
I’m not here to tell anyone to have or
not have anal sex but I just want to draw the attention of those who engage in
anal sex with the opposite sex to the fact that it’s dangerous to have anal sex
and continue to have penovaginal sex.

and continue to have penovaginal sex.
If this is done, the penis will pick
bacteria from the anus and deliver them to the vagina even if you use a condom…
that will lead to an infection.

Quest to make the vagina TIGHT
Quest to make the vagina TIGHT
Some guys grumble bitterly about their
sexual partners’ vagina. They complain that it is too big during intercourse
and no longer feel any sensation.

So some ladies are pushed to find a
quick solution and some use herbs or other substances in the vagina in the
process with the hope of tightening up the vagina. Some of the substances cause
a sepsis or infection.

To the extent that penetration is no
longer possible, some of the herbs can cause the vagina to get tighter. That
will require therapy.

Douching
Douching
Some parents put warm water in milk
tin or dip a towel in the warm water when bathing for their baby girls and pour
the water through a hole under the tin, or squeeze the water out of the towel
into the baby’s vagina. This is so unfortunate as it could damage the hymen.

Some parents also insert ginger or
pepper, or both, as a form of punishment into the adolescent vagina. This is so
pernicious that it can lead to infection.

Some people are used to bathing by
adding dettol or other detergents to the water, and using sponge or towel or
just the hand with soap to clean the vagina they put this solution inside the
vagina. This is so WRONG, as the normal flora in the vagina will change,
leading to infection.

Use of water closet
Use of water closet
Some people have the habit of not
sitting on the WC ‘s seat when they use it so that they end up urinating on the
seat. The possibility of picking infection is high when it is used in that
condition. Don’t allow your pant to be at the thigh level when using the toilet
especially the public ones as the inside of the pant may rub the toilet
surface. Where the water is not running and people have used but not flushed
and you have no choice but to use it as well, use enough toilet roll to cover
before using the toilet to prevent any splashes on the vulva.

Washing and drying
Washing and drying
Develop the habit of frequently
desinfecting your panties … depending on how many pants you have. Keep
exclusive panties to wear whenever you’re menstruating, and don’t mix your
regular panties with those. Pay particular attention when washing those panties.
Make sure the panties are made of cotton and dried in the sun, or ironed well
to kill germs.

Change sanitary pads
Change sanitary pads
Some people are trying to save on
using their sanitary pads so they tend to still wear the pad during the period
because there is little or no blood. This is sooooo WRONG as it may cause
infection.

NB: If the vagina has any bad scent or
there is a discharge from the vagina, it may be an infection that you need to
treat.
