normal vagina, but the ecological balance between the vagina and these
microorganisms is not pathogenic.
And the pH (3.8-4.4) of estrogen, lactobacillus and vagina in the vagina can inhibit the growth of other pathogens and make the vagina have a self-purifying effect.
Therefore, if the internal environment of the vagina is destroyed, it will make the bacterial flora imbalance, causing some bacteria to increase in the vagina, causing vaginitis.
Many little fairies do not know whether they have been brainwashed by the advertisement of "washing is healthier" or they themselves feel that the following is not clean and they need to be washed hard, or they are addicted to cleansing.
Originally, there were cleaners in the vagina of your own.
With this punch, the cleaner of the vagina was washed away. This is good,
without the cleaners, some bacteria will start to grow wildly and become wild
monsters. So girls, washing will not be healthier.
