TIPS FOR VULVAR CARE

-
    The vagina is a part of the body that needs adequate care. Here are some ways to care for the vagina:



   #Use only warm water to wash the vulva. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel. (If the vulva is very irritated, you can try drying it with a blow dryer set on cool.)

·         #The vagina cleanses itself naturally in the form of normal, vaginal discharge. Avoid using douches unless prescribed by your physician. These products can upset the natural balance of organisms.

·         #Wear only white, 100 percent cotton underwear. Avoid wearing nylon, acetate, or other manmade fibers.

·        # Avoid wearing thongs.

·        # Rinse underclothes carefully after washing. Or, double-rinse.

·         #Wash new underclothes before wearing.

·         #Use a mild soap for washing underclothes. Do not use detergents or fabric softeners.

·         #Use soft toilet tissue (white only).

·       #  Use chemical free menstrual napkins to control menstrual bleeding.

·         #Don't scratch.

·        # Avoid wearing nylon pantyhose or panty girdles. They trap heat and moisture, providing an ideal breeding environment for organisms. When nylons or leggings are required, wear cotton or nylons with a cotton panty.

·         #Avoid these feminine hygiene products, which can irritate the vulva: sanitary pads, feminine spray and deodorants, Vaseline®, oils, greases, bubble baths, bath oils, talc, or powder.

WHY GIRLS MENSTRUATE! (LET’S KNOW MORE ABOUT MENSTRUATION)

Puberty and Periods Menstruation (a period) is a major stage of puberty in girls. It's one of the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a woman. Menstruation can be confusing, just like a lot of the other changes that come with puberty. Some girls can't wait to start their periods. Others may feel afraid or anxious. Many girls (and most guys!) don't have a complete understanding of a woman's reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle. That can make the process seem even more mysterious. Girls usually start to go through puberty between the ages of 8 and 13. Their bodies and minds change in many ways. Hormones kick off changes like growth and breast development. About 2 to 2½ years after a girl's breasts begin to develop, she usually gets her first menstrual period. About 6 months or so before getting her first period, a girl might notice an increased amount of clear vaginal discharge. This discharge is common.

It’s good to have you here. My name is Olivia Onyemaobi, I am a community health advocate with menstruation and its management as my focal point. I will be using the simplest terms, so you ma not be hearing things like definitions So, how does menstruation start? Every month, the walls of the uterus get thicker, preparing your body for conception. The uterus is where the baby stays when conceived in a woman, so if eventually the person doesn't sleep with a man during ovulation, the thickened walls which are tissues like will be shed off in the form of blood through the vagina. This keep happening every month, and any month the girl/woman has sexual intercourse with a man during ovulation, pregnancy will occur, but when not, you will still shed the tissues off as period So if one is menstruating for the first year, the period may not be regular, it may sometimes cease for 2-3months, then reappears.
