In homes, information is given about normal cleanliness in the daily routine of children, but most of the people do not talk openly about personal hygiene. To stay healthy, it is as important to maintain your personal hygiene as it is to wash your hands before eating. Girls should especially keep this in mind, because they also go through period cycles every month. Therefore, there are more hormonal changes in them and a little carelessness sometimes becomes the cause of infection. In this article we will know what things girls should keep in mind to maintain personal hygiene.
If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, it not only causes UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), but you can also have other health problems. UTI may seem normal, but if you do not pay attention this time, it can cause many serious problems in the long term. So let us know what things related to personal hygiene girls should pay attention to in their daily routine.
Cleaning is necessary after urine
It is very important to keep the vaginal area clean and dry, hence after bathing, one should wipe it with a clean towel or tissue and after urinating every time, the vaginal area should be cleaned thoroughly with a tissue. If you do not clean or dry the skin, bacteria can grow which causes infection.
Take special care during periods
Girls should take special care of personal hygiene during periods. For example, keep changing sanitary pads or tampons at least every 4 hours and maximum 6 hours. Be sure to clean your hands before and after changing pads. During this period, one should take bath with lukewarm water daily.

proper care method
Girls often make the mistake of cleaning the vaginal area with body wash or soap. This may worsen the pH. You should use only products made for cleaning the vaginal area and they should not be fragranced. One should not clean with too much water again and again. This can cause dryness and good bacteria can be destroyed.
don’t wear too tight clothes
In personal hygiene, care should also be taken not to wear too tight clothes for a long time. This keeps sweat and moisture in check. Due to this, bacteria increase which causes infection. Apart from this, it should also be kept in mind that always wear cotton undergarments. This fabric works to absorb sweat.
keep cleaning pubic hair
It is said that one has to keep cutting nails so that bacteria do not enter the mouth along with hands, but people rarely talk about personal hygiene. Although pubic hair works to protect from bacteria and dirt, but when it grows excessively, it can cause irritation and burning sensation in the skin. During summer, there may be a problem of dirt accumulation due to sweating. Therefore, along with superficial cleanliness, it is also very important to clean the pubic hair from time to time.
