ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēlā mau pāʻoihana e hōʻike ana i nā kaikamahine e noʻonoʻo nei inā he mea maʻamau ka manaʻo, ʻike ʻoe, "ʻaʻole hou" ma laila me he cheesy i kēia manawa. Akā ke koe nei ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ke ʻike nei nā tone o nā wahine i ka noʻonoʻo iā lākou iho pehea e honi ai ma lalo o ke kāʻei. ʻO ia ke kumu e mau nei nā tona o nā huahana "hoʻomaʻemaʻe wahine" ma ka mākeke-ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou e kapa iā lākou iho he douches. (The Down Low on Down-There Grooming.)
ʻO ka laina lalo kēia, wahi a Lauren Streicher, M.D., ka mea kākau o Aloha Aloha hou: Ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻoe iā ʻoe iho. ʻAʻole pono ia i nā holoi wahine a ʻaʻole pono e holoi ʻia me kahi hoʻomaʻemaʻe akahai. ʻAʻole pono ia i kahi mea a mākou i ʻike ai i nā toni o nā hoʻolaha i kēia mau lā: The Water Works Natural Vaginal Therapy, kahi i hōʻike ʻia i kahi pahu kila kila e honi ʻala e hoʻoheheʻe ai i ka wai, e like me kahi holoi kaʻa no kou mau ʻāina o lalo. (E nānā: 10 mau mea e kau ʻole ma kahi o kāu vagina.)
"ʻAʻole kōkua wale ka Douching, hiki ke pōʻino," wahi a Dr. Streicher. "Hoʻonui maoli ia i kāu pilikia o nā pilikia e like me ka maʻi pelvic inflammatory." No laila ʻae, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i waho (i kou puʻupaʻa) me kahi wai a me kahi kopa maʻemaʻe paha i hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā. Akā, e waiho wale i loko (kou vagina), wahi a Kauka Streicher. A inā manaʻo ʻoe ua pilau ʻoe, e noʻonoʻo i ke kumu. (E ʻike i ke kumu o kou ʻeha ʻeha.)
"ʻO nā mea hoʻonāukiuki no ka pilau o ka pilau e hana i kahi papa inoa pōkole loa," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. ʻO ka ʻala iʻa ikaika ka hōʻailona o ka maʻi bacterial vaginosis, kahi maʻi maʻi bacteria e koi ai i nā lāʻau antibiotic. A pilau, ʻaʻala zoo-like ʻaʻala (kāna mau ʻōlelo!) He hōʻailona ia o kahi tampon nalowale. He mimi paha ka mimi, kahi hōʻailona e pili ana paha ʻoe me ka incontinence liʻiliʻi o ka mimi. ʻO nā mea ʻekolu a pau āu e ʻike ai i kāu kauka.
Akā, inā manaʻo wale ʻoe he ʻala liʻiliʻi a honi paha ʻoe, ua kapa ʻia kēlā "ʻala ʻike ʻia," wahi a Kauka Streicher. "He aha ke ʻano o kou ʻala maikaʻi - manaʻo wale ʻoe ʻaʻole." Inā hoʻopilikia maoli ʻia ʻoe, paipai ʻo ia e hoʻohana iā RepHresh Vaginal Gel ($ 24; walgreens.com), ka mea e kōkua i ke kaulike ʻana i ka pH o ka ʻōpala e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka pilau me ka hoʻonui ʻole i kāu maʻi maʻi. Akā, he mea nui nō hoʻi e ʻae ʻaʻohe mea e hopohopo ai ka ʻala liʻiliʻi i kēlā me kēia manawa.
