What are the secrets to maintaining women’s private parts?

　　Secret 1: The vagina’s natural defense barrier

　　The labia minora on both sides of the vulva often close together, and the front and back walls of the vagina are close to each other, forming a natural defense barrier.

　　Secret 2: The vagina will also “skin off””

　　The epithelial cells of the vagina can undergo periodic changes and shed under the influence of estrogen, which is a natural metabolism.

　　Secret 3: The pH of the vagina is between pH 3.8-4.5

　　Due to the action of normal bacteria, the pH of this space is maintained between pH 3.8-4.5, so that most pathogenic bacteria that are adapted to survive in an alkaline environment cannot grow and reproduce here.

　　Secret 4: Those who hate leucorrhea are also the "sage of vaginal cleansing"”

　　Due to the presence of leucorrhea, foreign pathogens cannot survive in the vagina, thus ensuring the safety of the vagina. Medically speaking, it is called vaginal self-cleaning effect. This self-cleaning effect is actually due to the large number of beneficial bacteria in the vagina - vaginal bacteria. This bacterium can convert the glycogen contained in the keratinized epithelial cells in the vaginal wall into lactic acid, thereby inhibiting harmful bacteria that invade the vagina. Vaginal bacilli cannot grow in a dry environment and must thrive in a moist state. Leucorrhea just moistens the vagina, which encourages vaginal bacilli and maintains the self-cleaning effect of the vagina. It can be seen that normal leucorrhea is not redundant. The view that leucorrhea is dirty and needs to be "cleaned" is wrong.

　　Secret 5: The vagina has a self-cleaning function

　　“Various glands in the vagina can secrete some fluids to lubricate and clean the vagina. ”Introduced by Lisa Stein, RN, Los Angeles. It should be noted that excessive cleaning of the vagina during bathing will wash away those natural lubricants and probiotics, causing anaerobic bacteria and mold to breed, leading to abnormal secretion, odor, and itching. Therefore, just rinse the vulva. Do not use vaginal douches.

　　Secret 6: The vagina secretes 1.55 grams of liquid in 8 hours

　　Fertility period female , vaginal secretions weigh approximately 1.55 grams every 8 hours. “If the labia are everted more obviously, more mucus will be secreted. ”Beverly Whipple said, “The discharge can vary in color. In most cases, vaginal discharge is white and turns slightly yellow as it dries. If your secretions turn green when wet, or you feel burning or itching in your private parts, or your secretions smell fishy, ​​you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Hospital Get checked. ”

　　Secret 7: The vagina “lengthens” under sexual stimulation”

　　Under normal conditions, the average vaginal length is 8.5cm-12cm. “After sexual stimulation, the vagina deforms and doubles in size. ”Adequate foreplay can further expand the "volume" of the vagina and also enhance the intimacy feeling.

　　Secret 8: Stay busy appropriately healthy

　　Regular affection not only keeps a woman younger, it also makes her vagina healthier. Because intimacy will make the vaginal muscles tighten exercise , thereby keeping them tight. In addition, the more mucus secreted due to excitement before making out, the less likely it is to cause vaginal damage during making out.

　　Secret 9: The vagina also gets wrinkles

　　The appearance of a woman's private parts changes with age. Reduced estrogen levels make the labia less plump, the fat pads shrink, and the loss of collagen causes the labia to sag and become wrinkled. These are normal physiological changes and will not significantly affect sexual feelings.

　　Secret 10: Not all vaginas have a hymen

　　Some people do not have a hymen on their wedding night, and are considered to have had intimacy, which brings a shadow to their married life. In fact, some people are born without a hymen. But some people's hymens are so thick that they need to be removed surgically.

　　In addition, the hymen is usually attached to the opening of the vagina and is easily damaged, such as doing exercises and placing tampons.

　　Secret 11: Having a baby will make her 5 times bigger

　　Typically, the vagina is no more than one inch in diameter. But before the baby is born, the vagina expands incredibly to 4 to 5 inches wide to ensure baby The head can pass through. But around six weeks after giving birth, the vagina will return (or almost return to its pre-pregnancy size).

　　Secret 12: Vaginal edema occurs during pregnancy

　　During pregnancy, affected by the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the placenta, the vaginal mucosa becomes congested and edematous. At this time, the permeability of the vaginal mucosa increases, and the exudate increases significantly compared with non-pregnancy. Uterus The glands of the cervical canal secrete more, so the vaginal secretions during pregnancy are significantly more than those during non-pregnancy, and are often white and pasty and odorless. A series of physiological changes during pregnancy make it easy to develop fungal infections at this time Vaginitis , the infection rate reaches 9.4%-18.5%.

　　Secret 13: The vagina doesn’t change much after childbirth

　　After childbirth, the changes in vaginal appearance and tissue are actually far less obvious than women understand. From the outside, few people can tell whether a woman has given birth unless there is tearing during childbirth. There are also some women who are giving birth Postpartum , I feel that my vagina is falling and obviously relaxed. Lisa Lang suggested that such women can contract the pelvic floor muscles more, lasting a few seconds each time, and repeating more than 10 times.

　　Secret 14: “She” makes noises during intimacy

　　The vagina also makes sounds during intimacy, mostly caused by the way your partner enters. If he pumps thoroughly every time, air will inevitably leak into the gaps between the pumps, and when the air is squeezed out from a relatively closed environment, it will naturally make a sound.
