Female intimate hygiene is a relevant addition to prevent vulvovaginitis
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) ranks first among gynecological disorders. Establishing intimate health prevents inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive system. Obstetricians and gynecologists are significantly responsible for maintaining intimate health and developing personal hygiene practices. This paper highlights intimate female health. The authors describe personal hygiene practices and intimate ethics in women of reproductive age. These habits are essential for preventing vaginal infections. Patient education contributes to the development of hygiene practices and helps take responsibility for reproductive health. Intimate hygiene maintains the healthy mucosal barrier required for normal reproductive function and prevents vaginal infections. Specific products maintaining normal pH and natural vaginal microflora (e.g., natural lactic acid-based) are recommended for intimate hygiene. Lactic acid favors the growth of Lactobacilli so that its gel can be used to prevent vaginal dysbiosis. The balanced composition provides effective hygiene of the intimate area and prevents vaginal infections. Daily use of gel is the key to intimate female health.
