How often should women change sanitary napkins is healthy

During menstruation, some people find it troublesome to change sanitary napkins frequently, so they change 2-3 times a day. In fact, this is wrong. Nowadays many women will be troubled by gynecological diseases, it has a great relationship with the wrong use of sanitary napkins.

During the menstrual period, due to the stripping of the endometrium, the acidic environment of the vagina will be diluted by menstrual blood, because the vaginal opening and the uterine opening are open, during this period, resistance will be reduced, and bacteria are very easy to take advantage of. If the sanitary napkin is not replaced for a long time, the sanitary napkin will become a culture medium for bacteria and viruses to breed, and the bacteria will follow the reverse osmosis of the menstrual blood to contaminate the vagina and uterus, resulting in vaginitis, cervicitis and a series of gynecological problems.

Although each piece of sanitary napkin is packaged independently, not every piece is sealed and stored. After opening, it is recommended to use up as soon as possible, so that you can shorten the time of exposure to the air and effectively reduce the degree of pollution.

Do not keep sanitary napkins in the bathroom or in a dark and humid environment for a long time. Because sanitary napkins are generally made of non-woven fabrics, the material deteriorates after moisture, and bacteria are easy to invade and multiply. When a large number of bacteria invade the vagina, it will cause imbalance of bacteria in the vagina and induce vaginal inflammation.

When the sanitary napkin is used for 15-20 minutes, it will produce bacteria. The feeling of itching when in use is actually caused by bacterial reproduction, so sanitary napkins must be changed frequently and it is best to change them every 2-3 hours.

According to the survey, many women do not wash their hands at all when changing sanitary napkins. Because our hands usually come into contact with a lot of things, it will inevitably be stained with a lot of bacteria, if you do not wash your hands but directly to change the sanitary napkin, it is easy to make the bacteria contaminated into the sanitary napkin into the body.

During menstruation, due to excessive menstrual blood, it will emit the smell of bleeding, and some female friends in order to avoid this embarrassment, they will choose to use scented sanitary napkins to cover up the smell of blood. However, many scented sanitary napkins will add flavor agents, and many people will be allergic to it, and there will be symptoms of vulvar itch. Allergic women must use it with caution.
