Hygiene of the reproductive organs of a young man.
Young men should carefully monitor the purity of the whole body, in particular of the external genitalia. On the inner surface of the foreskin covering the head of the penis, there are glands that secrete a special secret. If hygiene is not respected, it can develop pathogens and cause inflammation of the head and foreskin, as a result of which damage to the surface layer of the epithelium may result in erosion. To avoid this, you should wash the head of the penis in the morning and in the evening with warm water, dabbing with a napkin or towel for individual use. Especially carefully should be washed outside genitalia and also the skin around them after pollutions (with soap or a warm weak solution of potassium permanganate).
Hygiene of the genital organs of the girl.
Girls should also carefully monitor the purity of their external genitalia. For this, morning and evening, you need to wash yourself with warm water. If possible, take a warm shower, change your underwear every day. If hygiene norms are not observed, inflammatory diseases of not only these organs, but also neighboring ones, arise. It can be inflammation of the urinary tract (urethritis), bladder (cystitis), renal pelvis (pyelonephritis) and others.
The hygienic regimen during menstruation is especially important, because during this period the resistance of the organism to unfavorable factors of the environment, in particular to cooling, decreases somewhat. Disease-causing bacteria can easily penetrate into the environment of the genital organs. Therefore, these days it is necessary to dress especially warmly, to avoid hypothermia of the waist, legs, lower abdomen, swimming in water, sitting on damp ground. If you do not protect yourself from this, there may be diseases of the ovaries (appendages). They are heavily cured, leaving negative consequences (spike processes in the fallopian tubes, ovaries and others), which eventually lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy. During menstruation, you should avoid everything that can cause uterine bleeding: sunbathing, distant travel, outdoor games, dancing, etc.
Of course, do not be the entire menstrual period in bed, you can perform the usual home and school work, and avoid only a significant physical exertion. It is advisable to record the date of the beginning and end of menstruation, to keep a personal calendar. This will help to plan your affairs in advance for the next menstrual period and in time to detect any irregularities in the menstrual cycle.
Hygienic procedures during menstruation are especially important. These days you need to wash at least 3-4 times a day, with warm water and soap, or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Wipe the skin and mucous membranes followed by soaking movements, and do not grind, because rubbing causes irritation. When irritating the mucous membrane of the external genital organs, a decoction of chamomile or strong tea is used to wash it.
When painful menstruation, girls often resort to the use of painkillers (for example, analgin), put on the stomach warmer not knowing that the warmer can increase blood flow or provoke bleeding. Uncontrolled use of drugs is also not safe, their effect can affect health. The first menstruation is often accompanied by painful sensations, but eventually it passes. Otherwise, you need to see a gynecologist.
Hygiene of mammary glands.
Since adolescence, girls need to wear a bra (bra). It should support and not compress the mammary glands, because a slight elevation of them improves blood circulation, and squeezing, on the contrary, violates it. Thus, a comfortable bra promotes the normal development of the mammary glands and prevents disruption of their function during the breastfeeding period.
