Moisturizing care for delicate areas
First of all, why do we need to moisturize our delicate areas?
We will explain why proper care is necessary and how to care for delicate areas at different ages.
Why is moisturizing care for delicate areas necessary?
Dryness in the delicate areas can lead to the following problems:
- Odor: Sweat containing fatty acids reacts with bacteria and causes odor
- Itching: Caused by dirt that tends to accumulate between the folds
- Darkening: Friction causes the production of melanin, making the skin more prone to darkening
In addition to dryness, the following problems can also lead to odor and itching:
- Stuffiness: Poor ventilation makes it easier for bacteria to grow
- Amount and color of vaginal discharge: If you do not keep yourself clean, bacteria will easily grow.
- Urinary incontinence: Leaked urine makes it easier for bacteria to grow.
First of all, moisturizing care is important in order to solve the problems caused by dryness one by one.
In addition to regular care, it is also important to consult with an obstetrician-gynecologist if necessary.
