Women should be selective about their underwear. Wearing underwear that is too tight can cause infections of the urinary or reproductive systems. Wearing underwear made of synthetic fibers can easily cause inflammation of the vulva or vagina. Below are some specific points to consider when choosing underwear for women.
1. Avoid wearing dark-colored underwear.
Dark-colored underwear can make people overlook potential health risks.
Women suffering from vaginitis or reproductive system tumors may experience cloudy, reddish, or yellowish vaginal discharge, all of which are signs of illness. Early detection and treatment of these symptoms can lead to better outcomes. Wearing dark-colored or overly patterned underwear can obscure abnormal discharge, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment.
2. Avoid wearing underwear made of synthetic fibers.
Cheap synthetic fiber underwear is not suitable to wear
Despite their low price, these products have poor breathability and moisture absorption, which is detrimental to tissue metabolism in the perineal area. Furthermore, vaginal discharge and secretions from the perineal glands do not evaporate easily, leaving the vulva feeling damp all day.
This warm and humid environment is very conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, which can easily cause inflammation of the vulva or vagina.
3. Avoid wearing underwear that is too tight.
Tight underwear can cause women hidden pain
A woman's vaginal opening, urethral opening, and anus are very close together. Wearing underwear that is too tight can cause frequent friction with the vulva, anus, and urethral opening, allowing bacteria from dirt in this area (mostly anal and vaginal secretions) to enter the vagina or urethra, causing infections of the urinary or reproductive systems.
