How about having sex while taking a shower? Be careful when these bacteria enter the body

Many women have a habit of "careful" washing before and after sexual activity, and most believe that vaginal flushing is a good thing. Most male friends also think the same way. Some couples prefer to take a mandarin duck bath and do it while washing. However, you may not know that there are many misunderstandings and misunderstandings hidden inside.

What is the idea of female friends taking frequent showers during sexual activity?

Misunderstanding 1: Anti inflammation.

For vaginal care, many people take it for granted that cleanliness and frequent washing and changing are definitely not wrong. So, when the genitals feel not dry and comfortable enough, they use lotion to rinse and wash. This is a habitual action in many women, and some even insist on doing vaginal flushing every day. Little did they know that this was a big misunderstanding. In fact, healthy women's vagina, like their mouth, usually has dozens of bacteria breeding, but due to the presence of vaginal "guards", they are in peace. Lactobacillus is one of the "guardians". It can decompose the Glycogenolysis in vaginal cells into lactic acid, so that the vagina can maintain a certain acidity, thus limiting the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. But ingredients such as vinegar, water, and antibacterial agents often wash harmful bacteria out of the vagina while also killing all the bacteria that protect it, thus damaging the local acidic environment and preventing the vagina from achieving self-protection. What's worse, if the method of washing is wrong, the bacteria will wait for the opportunity to take a "Hitchhiking" and drive straight to the depths of the vagina and even the uterus.

Misunderstanding 2: Preventing conception.

Some people use vaginal flushing to prevent conception, which is just a cover up. After ejaculation, sperm can reach the uterine cavity through the cervical canal within a few minutes. By the time the woman carefully washes, the "vanguard troops" of the sperm "army" have already entered the uterine cavity and "camped".

Misunderstanding 3: Prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

As for relying on vaginal flushing to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, it is just a wishful thinking. When a woman is in the same room, when she reaches Sexual arousal, the size of YC will swell, resulting in narrowing of the Vaginal orifice, congestion of blood vessels in the vaginal wall, and increased genital pressure. At this point, impact and friction can cause tissue damage that is difficult to detect with the naked eye, and bacteria can often enter the body through these "convenient doors".

During sexual intercourse, the glands are in an open state and are more susceptible to bacterial invasion. Therefore, if the man suffers from sexually transmitted diseases, pathogenic microorganisms can lurk in the cervix, vaginal mucosa, gonads, and tissue damage within a few minutes. Therefore, it is of no use to use post vaginal flushing to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Misunderstanding 4: Removing odors.

Other women undergo vaginal flushing to eliminate odors. In fact, many people believe that vaginal odor is just a natural odor of the vagina, which is a manifestation of physical health and does not require much consideration. Looking at it from a different perspective, even if there is a real odor in the vagina, rinsing alone is not enough. Because flushing can only maintain a relatively short period of odorless state, the cause remains unchanged, and the odor will soon reappear.

Triumph leads to danger

In fact, improper vaginal flushing not only does not bring the expected effect, but on the contrary, it may be accompanied by many unexpected dangers——

Dog skin plaster: Pelvic inflammatory disease. When there are situations such as an open cervix (such as ovulation period) or a loose cervix, the flushing solution is easy to enter the uterine cavity, especially when the cervix is in a low position, torn, or horizontal position. The head of the flushing device is more likely to enter the cervical canal, and the flushing solution contaminated with pathogenic bacteria may be squeezed into the uterine cavity, which may lead to acute pelvic inflammatory disease. If acute pelvic inflammatory disease persists and turns into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it can really be a stubborn "dog skin ointment": the body is in good condition but can be peaceful. When fatigue, colds, and other factors reduce the body's immune system, pelvic inflammatory disease will show a ferocious face and erupt fiercely.

Uninvited guest: sexually transmitted diseases. According to data provided by American scholars, those who receive vaginal flushing 1-3 or more times a month have a 2.6 or 3.8 times higher risk of Chlamydia trachomatis infection compared to women who have not received vaginal flushing. The reason for this is that vaginal flushing disrupts the balance between pathogenic bacteria and protective bacteria, causing rapid growth of pathogenic bacteria.

Two bitter fruits on one vine: Ectopic pregnancy and infertility. The relationship between irrigation and Ectopic pregnancy has been confirmed by medical experts. The main reason is that the infection caused by flushing affects the fallopian tube, so that the Zygote cannot reach the uterine cavity and stays in the fallopian tube, resulting in ectopic pregnancy. If the fallopian tubes are completely blocked due to inflammation, another serious consequence can occur - infertility. The risk is closely related to the time of flushing: at the beginning of menstruation, the cervical opening is small and thick with mucus plugs, resembling a natural "shield" that can block bacteria; During ovulation, the uterine opening is open, and mucus is thin. This is a green light for sperm release, but it is also easy for bacteria to release; After ovulation, the uterine opening closes. Therefore, the risk of ascending infection is greatest during ovulation.

Silent outcome: reduced conception rate. This may be related to the change of vaginal pH and the Internal environment of the genital tract after irrigation. After one year of not using contraception, only 10% of women who do not rinse or rarely rinse do not conceive, while 27% of those who rinse do not conceive. Moreover, even flushing with water is significantly associated with reduced fertility, indicating that the mechanical effect of flushing can produce adverse reactions. It should be noted that although flushing may reduce fertility, the effect is mild and cannot be used for contraception.
