Impela, lezo zikhangiso ezinamantombazane ezibuza ukuthi kungokwemvelo yini ukuzizwa, uyazi, "kungabi kusha kangako" ezansi lapho kubonakala sengathi kushisa manje. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi amathani abantu besifazane basazizwa benomuzwa wokuthi (bacabanga ukuthi) banuka kanjani ngaphansi kwebhande. Yingakho kusekhona amathani wemikhiqizo "yokuhlanzwa kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane" emakethe-yize bengazibizi njalo ngokuthi ngama-douches. (I-Down Low Ekuqeqesheni Phansi-Lapho.)

Iphuzu eliyinhloko yilokhu, kusho uLauren Streicher, MD, umbhali we Thanda Ucansi Futhi: Isitho sakho sangasese siyazihlanza. Akudingi ukusulwa kwabesifazane futhi akudingi ukuthi ukhishwe nge-cleanser emnene. Impela ayikudingi okuthile ebesikubona amathani ezikhangiso kamuva nje: I-Water Works Natural Vaginal Therapy, ehlanganisa ibha yensimbi engenaphunga okuthiwa emunca iphunga ekhipha amanzi, njengokugeza izimoto ezifundeni zakho ezingezansi. (Bheka: Izinto Eziyi-10 Okufanele Ungalokothi Uzibeke Eduze Kwesitho Sakho Sangasese.)

"I-Douching ayilona nje usizo, kuyingozi," kusho uDkt. Streicher. "Empeleni kwandisa ubungozi bakho bezinkinga ezifana nesifo sokuvuvukala okhalweni." Ngakho-ke, kufanele uhlanze ngaphandle (imomozi yakho) ngamanzi futhi mhlawumbe nensipho emnene kanye ngosuku. Kodwa yeka ingaphakathi lakho lodwa, kugcizelela uDkt. Streicher. Futhi uma ucabanga ukuthi unuka kabi, thola ukuthi kungani. (Thola Ukuthi Yini Ebangela Imomozi Yakho Elumayo.)

“Izinto ezibangela iphunga lesitho sangasese sowesifazane zakha uhlu olufushane kakhulu,” usho kanje. Iphunga eliqinile le-fishy ngokuvamile liwuphawu lwe-bacterial vaginosis, ukutheleleka kwamagciwane okudinga ama-antibiotics. Iphunga elibi, elifana nezu (amagama akhe!) liwuphawu lwe-tampon elahlekile. Iphunga lomchamo cishe umchamo, uphawu lokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ubhekene nokungakwazi ukuzithiba komchamo. Zontathu yizinto okufanele ubone udokotela wakho ngazo.

Kepha uma ucabanga nje ukuthi unuka kamnandi noma ujuluke kancane, lokho kubizwa ngokuthi "yiphunga elibonwayo lesitho sangasese sowesifazane," kusho uDkt. Streicher. "Lokho kusho ukuthi unuka kahle-ucabanga ukuthi awufuni." Uma ukhathazekile ngempela, uncoma ukusebenzisa i-RepHresh Vaginal Gel ($ 24; walgreens.com), esiza ukulinganisa i-pH yesitho sangasese ukunciphisa iphunga ngaphandle kokwandisa ubungozi bokutheleleka kwakho. Kodwa futhi kubalulekile ukwamukela ukuthi iphunga elincane ngezikhathi ezithile akuyona into yokukhathazeka ngayo.
