Private hygiene has always been an important health knowledge, because without private hygiene, it is more likely to cause various gynecological and male diseases, leading to serious damage to people's health and endangering the safety of reproductive organs. If men do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it is easy to cause inflammatory diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems, such as common vaginitis, balanitis, and other diseases.
Do men need to wipe after urinating?
It is particularly important to keep the reproductive organs clean, which can effectively prevent various infectious diseases and avoid reproductive system diseases. So theoretically, it is still necessary for men to wipe with toilet paper after urinating in order to do a good job of cleaning. This is more hygienic and can effectively reduce urine stains on underwear. Urine is mainly acidic and has a certain corrosive effect. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to hygiene and there is a lot of urine on your underwear, it is easy to damage the health of the penis and easily cause infection.
However, many men do not have this awareness, and because the physiological structure of men is already different from that of women, although they do not make a good move to wipe with paper towels after urination, the probability of contracting diseases is relatively low, which means it is feasible for men not to wipe after urination.
This is mainly because the male urethra is long and tortuous, and the residual urine on the surface of the glans after urination can effectively reduce urine residue after being shaken a few times. Therefore, the probability of bacterial reproduction is low. Even if some bacteria are generated, due to the long urethra, it is difficult to enter the body from the urethral opening. Therefore, the probability of male urinary tract infection is low, and the harm of not wiping after urination is relatively small.
How to properly clean private areas?
1. Pay attention to the time for cleaning private areas
If there is no such habit, in fact, men do not need to wipe with a tissue every time they urinate. However, men must do cleaning work every day, so it is important to take a shower every day to effectively prevent bacterial growth overnight. In addition, it should be noted that men must clean their glans with clean water in a timely manner after sexual activity to avoid residual sexual fluids, the growth of bacteria, and the risk of infection.
2. According to the cleaning sequence
The order of cleaning private parts is usually to clean the reproductive organs first, followed by the anus. The reproductive organs are more fragile and can effectively protect them from repeated infections. At the same time, when cleaning private parts, it is best to use a shower to avoid the reuse of shower water during bathing.
