How to protect your private area in summer

　　Quite a few female Suffering from frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Urethritis can be caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses. In women, bacteria usually invade the urethra from the vagina. Among people aged 20-50 years, female infected people are male 50 times.

　　There are both external and internal factors for women suffering from urethritis in summer: From the perspective of external factors, the temperature is high in summer, bacteria are extremely active, and their invasiveness increases, which brings potential threats to the female urinary system. From the perspective of internal causes, normal people have bacteria living in the end of the urethra. This is just because the resistance of the urethra epithelium is very strong, and the bacteria can be washed away every time you urinate, so they are fine.

　　However, in summer, if the body's resistance is reduced due to lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, or reduced food intake, the urethra and bladder are prone to congestion and swelling.； In addition, if you sweat a lot and drink less water, the urine will become less and thicker, and the bacteria cannot be washed away in time, which increases the chance of infection. In addition, the female urethra is short and straight (about 3-4 cm), and the urethral opening is close to the anus. Bacteria outside the anus can easily invade and cause disease. If you wear briefs that are too tight, it is not conducive to the evaporation of moisture in the vagina and creates favorable conditions for bacterial growth.

　　The following measures can be taken to prevent it:

　　1. Make it a good habit to wash your hands before going to the toilet. Research data shows that human hands are contaminated with a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc., which can invade the urethra and cause infection through the "defecation" process.

　　2. Shower frequently and change underwear frequently. It is advisable to wear cotton underwear with good ventilation and strong moisture absorption.

　　3. Drink plenty of water to exert the cooling and diuretic effects of water, flush out parasitic bacteria in the urethra, and eliminate hidden dangers of infection.

　　4. Wash the vulva and anus frequently with water. Pay attention to the order when cleaning. Wash the vulva first and then the anus. Do not do the opposite to avoid contaminating the urethral opening. In addition, it is unscientific for women to urinate first and then cleanse, because in this way, bacteria can easily invade the anterior urethra. If you clean first and then urinate, the bacteria brought in during the cleaning process can be flushed out of the body with the urine.
