A lot of people think that if they are using protection
and they are frequently performing STD tests that they have done everything
they can for their sexual health. Of course, these things are important but there
are few other tips that can help you a lot to determine and improve your sexual
health.
Those who want to take care of their sexual health and
keep it on a high level should always know their situation in the genital area.
This means that you should often explore your intimate zone. In order to keep
your sexual and reproductive health in good shape, you must observe and explore
it. According to some experts you should check this area every month and if you
notice some unusual changes a visit to a doctor is the right thing to do.
They way you are taking a bath can significantly affect
your sexual health. Try to avoid perfumed soaps, gels and very hot water. A
simple mild soap made of natural ingredients and lukewarm water will get the
job done. All those scents from perfumed soaps and gels could lead to vaginal
irritations and vaginal dryness and hot water can also impact the moisture in
the vagina too. After all, who needs a vagina that smells perfectly if it is
very dry?
As you can see dryness can negatively affect the whole
sexual act and that’s why you also need to pay attention to the way you dry
your intimate area. The best way to do it is if you dry only the upper part of
the vagina. Of course we are talking about mons pubis, the area where the hair grows.
The inner part should be left to dry in a natural way. This inner part must
carry moisture and you shouldn’t feel irritation when you are walking. Because
of this humidity you are able to enjoy sex.
Many women think that their vaginas should have pleasant
smell and often but products that guarantee that their genital area will smell
good. Keep in mind that a healthy vagina doesn’t have any special scent. If you
are clean and you don’t have any infection or other complication you don’t need
to use those perfumed products. In fact, these products can cause damage
instead of helping you. They only have short effects and after that you will
have to deal with their side effects. In many cases you will end with some
infection.
Every time you suspect that you are suffering from some
infection consult your doctor. A lot of women think that they can perform
self-diagnosis and buy medications unsuitable for their situation. There are
different types of infections that require different treatment. Many of them share
the same symptoms such as burning sensation, irritation and itching but they
are not the same.
Using lubricants during the sexual intercourse is a
great idea. You can use condoms with lubricants or specialized lubricants.
These lubricants are good because they reduce the chances of a broken condom
and they also reduce the chances of damages to the vagina during the
intercourse. If you decide to use lubricants try the ones based on water or
silicone.
Use these tips to improve your overall health and achieve
complete sexual health.
