In life, many challenges are awaiting us. Besides wisdom, capabilities and efforts, we also need confidence. There was a sharing: "Having confidence cannot guarantee one's success, however, losing is certain if you have no confidence." It is undoubtedly that we need confidence to make things right.
But, some inevitable factors always affect our confidence. Especially during the embarrassing moments when intimate hygiene problems and discomfiting body odours occur. Even though we are now living in a developed country, many people still do not acknowledge the importance of intimate hygiene care. Due to the lack of proper educational guidance, people are not fully informed about the suitable measures while facing these hygiene issues.
Facing numerous embarrassing troubles but still could not find an answer? Don’t let the defeated feeling beat you down! Come along with PhytoFairy and take a look on how the issue is built:
1. Inflammation Problems
Inflammation in intimate areas is commonly caused by bacterial infections. Candidal vulvovaginitis is the most common condition in gynaecological diseases. Its symptoms include abnormal discharges in leucorrhoea, itchiness and odd smells. It could be triggered by unhealthy hygiene habits, unbalanced pH levels in intimate areas, unhealthy diets and tight apparels.
2. Discomfiting Odours
When sweats are in contact with the bacteria in skin layers, the skin surface will decompose the substances in the sweats and odd smells could be aroused, especially in the enclosed body parts such as armpits, intimate areas and the sole. In the daily perspiration process, these body parts are maintained in a moist environment, which is ideal for the bacteria to grow. The sweats decomposed by the bacteria will produce a significant odd smell.
3. Dull Skin
Because of ageing, the intimate areas and armpits would appear to be in a dull condition. Losing collagen will cause melanin precipitates in our skin. Moreover, the colour in intimate areas is determined by the person’s skin colour, not necessarily implying that he or she has an unsettled personal life. The precipitation of melanin could be caused by the frictions while wearing unfitting undergarments. Due to the changes in hormones, women during pregnancy, postpartum and menopause periods would face the issue of dull skin too.
4. Losing Elasticity
Women in postpartum and menopause phases will experience vaginal relaxation, which is caused by the decline of elastic fibres in the inner wall of the vagina, the result caused by lower collagen content in our body due to the unbalanced hormones. Besides, the collagen production in women who are above 25 years old will start to decline, as well as the collagen in intimate areas. Therefore, women past 25 years old should start taking good care of their intimate hygiene health from now on.
5. Dryness
Using strong cleaner made with unnatural substances (artificial fragrance and colours) for a long time will cause damage to the skin barriers and depreciate the ability of the skin being hydrated. Excessive cleaning in intimate areas and imbalance in vaginal flora will cause dryness in the vagina. Unbalanced diets will also lead to endocrine disorders, abnormal metabolism in the mucous lining of the uterus and resulted in dry vaginal walls.
