JAKARTA - Cleaning women's reproductive organs using clean water flows is enough to keep the area clean. The use of soap is actually not necessary because the acidic nature of the vaginal organs aims to maintain microorganisms in the area so that if exposed to soap the acidic properties will die. " “ Actually cleaning using clean water is enough and the way to clean it must also be right from the front to the back, not the other way around," said General Doctor of the Kelapa Gading District Health Center, Retno Ayu Wulandari, quoted from ANTARA, Friday, November 11.. In addition to cleaning with running water from the front to the back, Retno also said that women's reproductive organs must be ensured to be clean and dry so that there are no sources of infection. “After urinating or defecating, it is cleaned and must be dried with a clean tissue or towel. The feminine area should not be too humid so that there is no source of infection, ” he said. In addition, it is also necessary to change underwear at least twice a day and the ingredients must not be strict and must absorb sweat so that it is not moist. Retno also said that external factors also need to be considered to maintain the health of the female organ area such as not drinking alcohol or smoking, adopting a clean lifestyle and eating balanced nutritious food. "It is very important that the lifestyle is clean and healthy, the food must be balanced nutritious, stress management, regular exercise and adequate sleep are very influential," said Retno. In addition, it is also important to do an IVA test or pap smear to detect cervical neck cancer or cervical cancer caused by viral human papiloma. The IVA test or pap smear is recommended for married women or who are sexually active because the risk of contracting cervical cancer is higher," he said. " “ Since it has been activated, it is recommended to check the Iva test at least once every six months whether there will be cancer candidates or not, because the sooner it is handled, the better the results will be," he said.
