What you need to know about the vagina and vulva to save women's he alth.
1. Is there a risk that the tampon will pass from the vagina into the uterus?
No. The cervix, the one that separates the vagina from the uterus, works better than a nipple. Everything lets out, nothing lets in. Therefore, to get into the uterus, the sperm must be very small and terribly purposeful. However, if in a fit of passion you forgot or did not have time to remove the tampon, go to the gynecologist and they will remove it for you. From the vagina, yes, not from the uterus.
2. Swelling and redness
Normally nothing to worry about, but if the redness doesn't go away after a few days, get checked out by a gynecologist. Be sure to get checked if you notice blisters or sores around the vagina (the herpes virus can cause them) or find warts (papillomas) or disgusting sharp bumps (genital warts). Firstly, they are contagious, and secondly, they tend to grow without treatment. Both are removed by laser or cryotherapy.
3. Sometimes discomfort during sex is natural
Lack of lubrication, infections, endometriosis and trauma can make sex painful. The labia can be injured during intercourse. Try more lube and other sex positions.
4. Lubrication turns on sensations
Survey of more than 2500 women showed that with lubricants the pleasure of sex is more, whether it is sex by yourself or with a partner.
5. Curly curls
Pubic hair is not a fault of nature, and should not be corrected too zealously. Eyelashes protect the eyes, nose hair filters dust in front of the nasopharynx, eyebrows keep sweat from entering the eyes, and pubic hair protects the labia from friction and the vagina from bacteria. Haircut - yes. But not removal. And wash more often, because hair has the ability to absorb and retain odors.
6. Unlike your oven, the vagina is self-cleaning
No need to pour liquid soap inside, douche or shove pemolux brushes - the vagina has its own cleaning system. Think of the eyes that clean themselves with tears and blinking. Vaginal discharge works in a similar way. Douching and intimate soaps can upset the delicate pH of the vagina and make you immune to infections. Diligent washing of the vagina with special means can lead to chemical vaginitis. Its symptoms are redness, painful itching in the vagina and copious discharge.
7. Need a toilet after sex
Nature after sex drives not only men to the toilet. Trust her, it's a natural reaction. Time to pee is priceless, it means flushing out large amounts of potentially harmful bacteria and reducing the risk of infection.
8. The vagina is a muscle. Download it
Vaginal tone depends on the level of the hormone estrogen and (yes, yes!) regular sex. If sex with a live partner is not enough or it is not constant, a vibrator is in your hands. Never a joke. For women after menopause, a vibrator alone is not enough. Regular exercise for the pelvic floor muscles is essential. The same Kegel gymnastics.
9. Again about the muscles of the pelvic floor. Muscles in tone - sex is better
Kegel exercises (or similar) will not only protect against urinary incontinence, but also increase sensitivity and lead to intense orgasms. To strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, sit in a comfortable position and squeeze the muscles 10-15 times in a row. Breathing, the muscles of the press and buttocks should be relaxed. When the muscles become stronger, hold them in tension for 10 seconds. This simple exercise can be done anywhere, even on the subway or in traffic on your way to work.
10. Cotton underwear is the best choice
Do not overheat the perineum. Everyone takes care of the boys with their testicles, forgetting about the girls. So: tight jeans or leggings and synthetic underwear noticeably increase the temperature of the vagina, making women vulnerable to fungal diseases.
