What are the medical ill effects of poor female hygiene in the vulva/vagina area?
Poor female hygiene can lead to many different problems, but the most common problems are urinary tract infections, and yeast infections. There are other infections that can occur, but those are the most common ones. Major irritation can also occur with poor hygiene. There is a book by American Girl, that I think could help these girls out a bunch. It is called “The Care & Keeping of You – The Body Book for Girls”. I bought this book at Walmart and it has helped me understand my body so much more than I previously had (and sadly, I’m 20 years old). In this book, it mentions to avoid bubble baths, heavily scented soaps, and scented toilet paper because the perfumes can irritate the vagina and the delicate skin of your vulva. Also, wearing cotton underwear is the best because it breathes and lets moisture pass through and evaporate, which helps reduce the risk of infection and irritation. I provided a link where you can view the book and purchase it if you decide to.
