Four simple steps to check if your private parts are healthy
Step 1: Observe the appearance
Generally, girls often experience a small amount of moist discharge from the vagina and vulva, known as leukorrhea. Leukorrhea consists of secretions from the cervical glands, the endometrium, and vaginal mucosal exudate. Normal leukorrhea is mostly clear, like egg white, and is neither too much nor too little, and is relatively clean. If the leukorrhea increases, becomes foamy, or is thin, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, be wary of trichomoniasis. If the leukorrhea resembles cottage cheese and is accompanied by painful urination and painful intercourse, be alert to the possibility of candidal vaginitis.
Step 2: Check the humidity
During sexual intercourse, a woman's vagina typically secretes lubricating fluid during orgasm. This fluid originates from the cervix and vestibular glands and serves as a lubricant, preventing the penis from damaging the vagina. However, factors such as excessive cleaning, tension, stress, and fatigue can easily lead to vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness not only causes pain during intercourse but also severely impacts a couple's sex life.
Step 3: Smell the aroma
A healthy genital area is generally odorless. If the genital area has a nauseating and embarrassing odor, accompanied by frequent and urgent urination, it may be necessary to consult a doctor to diagnose a gynecological disease. If a woman has uterine fibroids, she may experience changes in menstruation, frequent and urinary retention, and increased vaginal discharge. Due to bacterial infection, the vaginal discharge may have a foul odor.
Step 4: Check tightness
A woman's vaginal wall is about 7 to 9 centimeters long and is mainly composed of mucosa, muscle layer, and fibrous layer. Many muscles and ligaments are also attached to it, maintaining a certain angle and appropriate tension. The folds in the vaginal mucosa further increase its tightness. After childbirth, a woman's vagina may become looser, but this usually returns to normal with proper care. If vaginal laxity persists, it can not only lead to a decline in the quality of sexual life but may also increase the likelihood of bacterial infections.
After comparing, do you find your private parts healthy? If you think they are not very healthy, you should take good care of them in your daily life, such as participating in more physical exercise, changing your underwear every day, washing with clean water every day, and avoiding wearing tight pants.
