Medical Video: How to Take Care of Your Vaginal Health? | Must Know Tips for Female Personal Hygiene & Care
The vagina needs to be kept clean and healthy. Now, recently there is a new method for cleaning the vagina called alias vaginal facial vajacial. What is the way, and is this procedure safe?
How do you do a vaginal facial?
Vaginal facial is a method of cleaning the vulva, not the vagina. The vulva is the outermost part of the vagina that can be seen by the naked eye, characterized by a fleshy hump which (generally) is overgrown with pubic hair. While the vagina itself is a tunnel of the birth canal that starts with a hole near the urinary hole.
Dr. Leah Millheiser, an obstetrician and professor at Stanford University Medical Center, stated that facials the vagina focuses on cleaning the groin line, the place where the pubic hair grows, and the outer labia.
Vaginal facials are performed together or after removing pubic hair, such as with laser, waxing, or shaving. Vajacial aims to reduce ingrown hair, blockage of pores around intimate organs, and overcome dry skin around the vagina.
After removing pubic hair, the vaginal area will be evaporated, exfoliated to eradicate dead skin cells, and applied with a mask and skin moisturizer. Similar to the stages of facial facials in general.
In addition, several beauty salons that provide this service also use infrared therapy to get rid of bacteria and brighten the skin color in the darkened groin area due to hyperpigmentation.
Is this procedure safe and recommended?
Dr. Millheiser stated that facial The vagina is not recommended because it is not useful. Facials in the vaginal area are at high risk of bringing the risk of health problems to your vagina, such as infections or allergic reactions. The reason is, most vajacial services are carried out in places that are not certified with technicians who are not experts.
Most beauticians who do vajacial do not have enough knowledge about the vagina. The skin in the vulva area is much thinner and more sensitive than facial skin. Therefore, various measures that are quite risky such as exfoliation can actually make the vulvar skin become sore and injured.
Scalded or even injured vulvar skin due to this procedure is at high risk for infection. Because, you also can not ensure the cleanliness and sterility of the equipment used. In fact, even if the device is replaced every time you are still at risk of being infected due to the process of extracting pubic hair or irritating it from whitening creams that are applied to brighten the vulvar skin.
Wounds and irritation of the vulvar skin can increase the risk of contracting venereal disease from having unprotected sex.
The vagina does not require special care
It must be understood that the vagina has an automatic and natural system for cleansing as well as protecting itself.
To treat the vagina, you only need to wash the outer area (vulva) with a cloth dampened with water and neutral soap (without perfume or fragrance; not antibacterial soap), or wipe from front to back using your hands with running water. Simply clean the vagina once a day, for example after exercising, after having sex, or while taking a shower.
After that, keep it clean and dry. Use cotton underwear, and avoid wearing underwear too tight. Immediately replace a wet bathing suit or a sweaty sweat suit. A moist vagina is a "field" of livestock for bacteria and fungi that cause infection.
